The Campaign for Plan for the People made a great presentation. They shared some of their polling results, e.g. Monterey County voters overwhelmingly want a flexible, implementable General Plan, and only 23% of the polling sample are "inflexible enviros". The data from the voters debunks the myth of a split in the middle between pure environmentalists and special interest developers. The reality shows very little support for restrictive environmental viewpoints and strong public support for a broad, flexible, controlled growth plan. Please check out this summary of The Campaign for Plan for the People. |
