Bingo! Another connection to "The Great Valley Center" which is connected to "The Sierra Nevada Alliance" which is connected to "The Sierra Business Council" which were all major movers and shakers for "The Sierra-Nevada CONservancy!"
As you recall, Coelho and Jim Wright both had to leave government in a pall of corruption that made the Cunningham, Delay, Doolittle, et al pale by comparison. The people that man the boards of directors of these militant environmental groups are folks I've engaged in near hand-to-hand political combat for the past dozen years!!!
Hipocrites each and everyone!!!
You betcha! I went back and read a bunch of old articles on that scandal. I also read the book "The Daisy Chain" about Don Dixon and the "fall" of Vernon Savings and Loan. Coelho and Wright were prominently discussed in there, as well.
