Check out this new video about the proposed development nicknamed by opponents as Runkledyne.

With such an important issue are any of the groups opposed to the development getting involved in local elections? If incumbents are being responsive they should be supported and if they are not they should be challenged for it.

So, how have the current city leaders worked with you? What about other local elected officials.

I respect Barbra Williamson for agreeing to talk, on camera, about an issue that is seen as being politically toxic.

The Rev. John Southwick will be talking about and answering questions from readers in regards to The proposed development in Simi Valley called Runkle Canyon or Runkledyne by critics.

You can read the background to the current debate by going through the pages of press clippings at this link.

My questions for this group:

What local leaders have you been able to work with the best in your efforts to make sure the public safety and environment are protected?

Have you brought this to the attention of any local candidates from the state assembly to congress?

Do you hold public meetings to discuss this issue?

What is the URL for your youtube videos? Do you plan to release any more soon?

In other news next week there is an EIR meeting in Simi Valley about the proposed landfill expansion. Has anyone heard if it will be televised?

All the cool kids call it the SSFL instead of Rocketdyne I guess. I am trying to get the toxic stew from the place to be called Boeing Juice. If you will help out with that nomenclature I'd appreciate it. Whatever blogger came up with that one, thank you.

Anyways, Peter Foy has a press release about his efforts to nudge Boeing into cleaning up the facility and then making it into a park. Who else deserves credit for making this happen?

My vote is for State Senator Sheila Kuehl who has been very outspoken on behalf of local citizens even when Tom McClintock seems to not be very interested in the issue.
