TPZ protest draws crowd


ER TPZ protest draws crowd

TS Large turnout for TPZ protest

County Supervisor Roger Rodoni spoke to the crowd and was welcomed with a round of applause.
”I always knew you were out there,” Rodoni said. “There are people in here (the courthouse) who don't know you're out there.”


Update: The magnanimous and all-knowing heraldo/Mark Lovelace has posted a counter flyer, spelling out his version of the facts in this case. Don't be fooled. For Lovelace this is all about Palco - that is the only reason Humboldt Watershed Council exists.

A new group called Humboldt Property Alliance announced a protest/petition signing on Nov. 3 at noon in front of the county Courthouse.
Organizers said in a news release that members of the alliance — which was formed this week — have banded together because of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors’ “emergency” ordinance suspending new construction on timber production zone land.
The alliance is concerned about the “emergency” ordinance and addresses that on its Web site at www.humpropalliance.org:

He said what the FRC will review is “a single question — when is a house necessary to timber management?”

  1. If that had been an anti-Bush protest on the Mall in DC, the Washington Post would have put the crowd count at about 450,000.

  2. The high school kids who put together the Humboldt Property Alliance are the children of a local developer and contractor. I don't believe though that they are are acting in place of their parents. They are very motivated young adults.

  5. "This appraoch would weed out the speculators"

    Really, Mark? And how do you know who they are? How do you tell them from just a couple who wants to buy a piece of land to live on?

    Is that more of your psychic ordinancing? Minority Report, exactly. The Ministry of Truth.

    More of your spin and class warfare.

    Answer is Yes - this was the same shit that Sierra Rural tried to float in Sierra County just last June and which was resoundedly rejected.

    Mark's interpretation of the statute is just plain wrong.It is not supported by the statute itself, its legislative history, nor by case law nor by an other county’s interpretation of it. Also, if Mark thinks that property rights aren’t being stripped away, then he doesn’t know squat about the process of discretionary approval.

    No folks, this basically robbed individuals (not big timber or corporations) of this county of the value of about 400,000 acres of property. If any of you ever thought about owning 40-160 acres, selectively harvesting it in an ecologically and economically responsible fashion, maybe having a garden and piece and quiet, well that will be impossible. Mark, if you and your transplants from out of the area don’t like this way of life...then move back to where you came from.

  15. Mark Lovelace has stated that every sentence in the ad the kids placed is wrong. I assume his flyer is meant to be his version of the facts, since he has not stated them here, only thrown the ball back demanding to know why people think those statements are the truth.

    Mark is bound and determined to tell everyone else what to do with their land and businesses, and he has made himself a part of the General Plan process by showing up - but he is only one man -

    If every one man can assume a group name and lend their opinion weight, and get quoted in the paper as if they are bigger than they are, then let's all have at it. Star bellied sneetches and all.

  16. He is much more than just one man. He is mighty mouse and planning staff clean up after his mouse poop. Back in their secret office meetings they say "see we have marks mighty mouse poop". "it will make us strong","so we can put those evil speculators in their place". God bless mighty mouse. Poop!

  18. The Humboldt Co. Board of Supervisors finally worked a full day. Poor babies,had to start at 9 then get a 2hr. lunch then pretend to listen as citizens asked for relief from bondage. All ended well as three grabbed their brown bags and pooper-scoopers in an-ti-ci-pa-tion as mighty mouse came in to rule the day.Sniffing markie poop all the way home is reward enough for sitting on their asses. They still want to fix an unbroken tool.
