“I don’t know what the numbers are, and I don’t care what the numbers are, frankly. All I know is we are the most successful land acquisition agency in the state of California,” said Jerome C. Daniel, the conservancy’s chairman and a board member. “It bothers me to be questioned about the way we’re doing business, when what really matters is the end result.”This absence of accountability and oversight is unacceptable. We have the chance to stop this type of vermin from infesting the Sierra Nevada.
STOP THE SIERRA NEVADA CONSERVANCY NOW!
Call your Senator, Call Arnold... tell them NO!

Yup! As with the "Tahoe Conservacancy," the employees are driving around in pick-ups with license plates that say "EXEMPT" and getting state paychecks with generous "Defined BENEFIT," (not defined CONTRIBUTION like your measly 401(k)) CalPERS PENSIONS and freedom to attend all the activist meetings after work hours to raise money for NGO lawsuits against local governments that approve more development on private sector property than they like...
It's the truth, people!!! I've seen it up close and personal!!! I don't care who's Governor... This skullduggery has to be stopped!!!

The above is typical of the arrogance of the Elitist Enviral Nazis in California. Like their poster boy, al Ghorroid, "There is not controlling legal authority!"
If that county had a real DA and California had a real Attorney General, these Watermelon Fascists would be facing trial very soon.
Santa Monica Mountains
A small range that runs only 50 miles (81km) from Griffith Park to Point Mugu, on the coast north of Malibu, makes Los Angeles a great place for hiking. The mountains, which peak at 3,111 feet, are part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a contiguous conglomeration of 350 public parks and 65,000 acres. Many animals live in this area, including deer, coyote, rabbit, skunk, rattlesnake, fox, hawk, and quail. The hills are also home to almost 1,000 drought-resistant plant species, including live oak and coastal sage. Hiking is best after spring rains, when the hills are green, flowers are in bloom, and the air is clear. Summers can be very hot; hikers should always carry fresh water. Beware of poison oak, a hearty shrub that's common on the west coast. Usually found among oak trees, poison oak has leaves in groups of three, with waxy surfaces and prominent veins. If you come into contact with this itch-producing plant, bathe yourself in calamine lotion, or the ocean. For trail maps and more information, contact the National Parks Service tel. 818-597-1036
As you can see, the SMMC is responsible for 55,000 acres of the 65,000 acres that is in State ownership. Three questions:
1) Were strong arm/extortion tactics used to turn people into willing sellers? If so, are there people who are on record telling their stories?
2) Why is a government website offline?
3) Is the goal of the Sierra Nevada Conservancy to buy the Sierra's and turn it into the Range of Light National Park?
