FW: VICTORY: AB 1570 Defeated!

Dear Environmental Leaders,

 

We did it! AB 1570 will NOT be moving forward! Thanks to your tremendous and immediate response in opposition to AB 1570, the legislature has abandoned the hijacked bill. Coastal Commission staff and Poseidon reached a compromise regarding extension of the permit , the details of which have not been released. What we do know is the Coastal Commission will retain its authority. The massive response from the environmental community has sent a clear message to the legislature and the public: attempts to undermine the Commission’s authority will be met with fierce opposition.

 

Today’s victory would not have been possible without all of your calls, emails, faxes, and letters of opposition. Thank you for ensuring the Coastal Commission’s continued protection of our precious coastal resources.

 

Sincerely,
