Hey all, The hearing described below is just getting started at 4:47pm so there will be time to comment if you want to go there this evening. peace Eric Brooks Ok all - We're on again! Michela Alioto-Pier's hearing on alternatives to The JPower Combustion Turbine plant is finally on for real, and will be item 4 (of 4) at the Land Use Committee this Monday, Jan 28, Room 263. The hearing begins at 1pm and so the first hour may well be taken up by other items. But as we know, Supervisor Maxwell as chair of the committee might play games with the schedule and call our item early, so if you can, be there at 1pm. **This is our first big chance to show a major public turnout to the Board of Supervisors opposing the JPower CT plant and supporting solar, wind and other renewable energy measures instead.** Here's the hearing link, followed by the actual agenda (Item 2 is a measure to keep the Academy Of Art College from taking over the Flower Market and kicking out the local wholesale flower merchants.)
