More bad news for Arizonans.

I wonder how many other states have their own version of this happy leftist group.

I wonder how many other states have their own version of this happy leftist group.

I'm sure that if any of them don't, the bureaucrats at the EPA can find some way to come up with a grant program to give them some of your money to start one.

Wow!

Notice that much of the agenda is concerned with maintaining funding for their own survival or their agendas.

This is a shift from the usual strategies of actively arresting development, destroying freedoms and rights and undermining American sovereignty.

I take it as a good sign and would encourage everyone to press home their attacks on the green socialists.

The Desert Foothills Land Trust has been working with Jane Hull's Agenda 21 Smart Growth folks since as far back as June1998, as shown here. Napolitano following her lead. Republican? Democrat? Does it matter?

Source

The "Growing Smarter" plan also includes several significant reforms to planning and zoning statutes for cities and counties. These include requirements that general and comprehensive plans be updated every 10 year; that rezoning be in conformity with the plans; that amendments pass with a two-thirds super-majority vote of the governing body; that open space, environmental and growth areas be part of the plans; and that development be required to pay its "fair share" toward the cost of additional public facilities or service needs.

Representatives of groups from across the state identified parcels of State Trust land they hope to preserve through the Arizona Preserve Initiative process, including P.A. Seitts of the Desert Foothills Land Trust in Cave Creek; Luther Probst of the Sonoran Institute in Tucson; and Carla of the McDowell Sonoran Land Trust in Scottsdale. Also present was Anne Coe of the Superstition Area Land Trust in Pinal County, which officially endorsed the Growing Smarter plan at the press conference. In addition, Phoenix Mayor Skip Rimsza said the funding may help the City of Phoenix to implement its comprehensive open space plan.

These are the goofballs that were spinning Daschle's deal to thin Balck Hills forests in only his own state as "ecologically sound".

It was the Sierra Club or the Wildernss Society in AZ that wrote a long, drawn-out press release stating that, due to years of logging and fire suppression, the Black Hills needs to be logged.

They think they can do a better job of logging than the pros...'course, since it isn't likely any member of an environazi group has bothered to be certified in ANY of the fields of forestry management required by law, they'll have to HIRE THOSE PROFESSIONALS ANYWAY.

[cake_crumb]

Clarification: the ARIZONA chapter of either the Sierra Club or Wilderness Society wrote the pro-Daschle, logging-is-our-friend-if-WE-do-it piece.

So now they don't want to control the timber industry...they want to OWN the timber industry

[Grampa Dave]

Looks like the timing might be good for a future project!
