It's Monday, what can I say. Sierra, you were referring to pre legislative meetings. I doubt they will hold any, they want this passed. I was referring to the legislation itself. In the paragraph right before Chapter 3 you will find this:

33332. The conservancy shall hold meetings within the region or in a metropolitan area near the region.

Well, I was assuming the CPR hearings are most certainly pre-legislative as they are more far-reaching, supposedly, than the SNC... Dan Walters in SacBee.com was quite critical of CPR over the weekend, but I didn't post it due to criticism of the SN&R article as "nothing but a Schwarzenegger smear."

Plus, I don't agree with Walter's criticism as he tries to champion stuff that FDR championed, like more regional governments to dismiss county governments as obsolete, etc."

Thomas Jefferson stated: "States shall be further divided into Counties, each to govern what lies within it's bounds!" We already have a State Agency usurping local land-use control by people's elected county representatives through LAFCO, a "Regional" GovernMental Agency of the State as Counties already are!!!
