WE WIN! (for now)

The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors reversed their previous straw vote approval today stating in a 3-2 opinion that they will not support the Dutra's asphalt plant proposal at Haystack Landing!!

Supervisors Brown, Carrillo & Zane showed great leadership, standing up for the Petaluma community and ensuring Shollenberger Park and the surrounding community remains free of toxic emissions.


Please email these three Supervisors and thank them for their leadership and ask that they affirm their stance at the official confirmation on July 21st.

Unfortunately, Supervisors Kelley & Kerns continue to support the Dutra project.


Please email these two Supervisors and let them know how you feel.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP, SUPPORT AND ENERGY!
