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.
