Why Some Oppose Meas B

The Business Alliance has discovered two key reasons that groups like the Sierra Club, rafters and the activist organization “ Sierra Nevada Alliance” don’t like the EDC 2004 General Plan. For local rafters and campground owners it may be as simple as the NIMBY syndrome: They like all the growth and housing to occur in El Dorado Hills so they aren’t impacted by people using their own private property for homes, businesses or agriculture in rural parts of the county (making this land easier for them to purchase or control). Also, the Sierra Nevada Alliance, who endorsed “No on B”, received a grant from the Resources Legacy Fund Foundation to work on shaping Sierra counties’ general plans. Guess they don’t like local interests and county elected officials making our own decisions for our community.
