Dear Candidate for Board of Supervisors,
Please answer the below question by Thursday, May 17, 2012, 5 PM, at which time we will forward your comments to the media. Please use less than 300 words.
The
Copper Gazette and the PineTree have promised to print your
reply verbatim. In addition, we will share your reply with all media,
our members and our list of community leaders.
Question:
What is your opinion on the attached proposed county resolution to expose UN Agenda 21?
Thank you for your public service. - Al
Response from Tom Tryon:
"__I
am strongly opposed to agenda 21 and to your proposed resolution. The
spirit of agenda 21 is incorporated in much of state law. Your
resolution would deny the county the ability to apply for planning and
department of transportation grants. The county has applied for a Cal
Trans grant for the copper community plan update. Also to have a
legally defensible general plan, the county will need to incorporate
some agenda 21 principles in the updated general plan per state law.
Please, no more questions on agenda 21. Let us discuss issues over
which the county has discretion. Tom"
