Exactly what the OHV Community needed.
The PRO OHV folks should have a petition/info station every weekend until then.
 
I know....but thank you for all you do.
That goes double for you, Butch. :afm199
 
The article in Don's summary is pretty enlightening.

Some highlights

"At the heart of the dispute is a cultural divide over what types of beach access are valued, and both sides presented their arguments as a matter of environmental and economic justice. Off-roading proponents and local businesses accused regulators and coastal elites of looking down on a low-cost form of recreation and warned of economic harm from the loss of vehicle-related tourism. Opponents argued that their communities are the ones whose economic development, safety and health is suffering as a result of putting vehicles first."



"For hours, commissioners listened to members of the public make their case. One speaker brought a 3-foot-tall stack of papers, with 175,000 signatures opposing attempts to change the beach driving rules." :thumbup

"The 12-member coastal panel consists of appointed and elected officials from up and down the coast who are selected by the governor and legislative leaders."

I wonder if Gavin will stack the deck??

"Officials with the state parks department, Natural Resources Agency and off-road supporters had also been making their case to Coastal Commission appointees through private meetings and phone calls in the days running up to Thursday's hearing, according to last-minute disclosures by commissioners."

This bodes well IMO.

"San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon decried the "continued assault" from dust plumes from the dunes. Air quality regulators, she said, "have so far been unable to hold state parks accountable for the human damage that its operations generate."

"It is up to you as a commission to have the courage to do your job in the face of tremendous opposition," Harmon said, "and it is way past time."

This does not bode well.

For sure a complex issue that will be back for a future action.
 
Thank you for the concise synopsis, Dennis.

Nailed it pretty much, have been following this daily teakettle O' fun drama since 2010.
Living one & a half years in Morro Bay, to get their deal done with the CCC over a sewer plant. This finally happened. https://calcoastnews.com
SLO county board of Supes, and all they have done in the past 15 years, wow.
CCC and CARB are staffed in the same manner I believe.
