Mendo Supervisors vote 4 to 1 Against Navy's Training & Munitions Testing Expansion

Hi All:

Four Mendocino supervisors showed courage and vote 4 to 1, not to allow our beautiful northern coastal waters to be used as a testing ground for the Navy. The people of this great state support the Mendocino County Supervisors who had the courage to say no to this unnecessary waste of our resources and exposing the public and our military to these dangerous toxic munitions (including the use of depleted uranium munitions).

Please take a moment and send them your support for their courageous vote. I have supervisor John McCowen's email:

A victory for the people and that we still have public officials who have the backbone to do the right thing.

The Board of Supervisors adopted a comment letter today opposing the Navy's preferred alternative #2 and calling for Congressional hearings. The vote was 4-1 with Chair Pinches dissenting. We also passed a letter opposing the inclusion of Mendocino County in the new proposed five year plan for off-shore oil and gas leasing. That passed unanimously.

Dear Supervisor McCowen:

Thank you for your vote saying no to allowing these beautiful northern coastal waters of ours to be used as a testing ground for the Navy. The people of this great state support the Mendocino County Supervisors who had the courage to say no to this unnecessary waste of our resources and exposure to these dangerous toxic munitions that would be discharged (including the use of depleted uranium munitions).

Sincerely,

Rose Taylor
