Do you know that Save Open-space and Agricultural Resources has not released its required list of financial contributors yet? Do you know it is legally required to file a disclosure listing these contributors? What are they hiding?

According to the Santa Paula City Clerk’s Office, it seems that not one person from this “concerned group” has bothered to file the required documents disclosing their contributors. Nobody knows who is funding their well-funded campaign against Measure A7. Nobody knows who is funding the slick brochures. Nobody knows their real agenda in opposing Measure A7.

Are there well-heeled developers hiding behind SOAR? It is no secret that there is a link between a local developer and SOAR. Are they still receiving money from out-of-state interests? Considering they already know we have enough water for this project, the revenue projections are real and most of Adams Canyon would remain in a natural state, this would certainly help to explain their motivation to oppose Measure A7.
