Jburger - > Quirks of the County -> Concrete Crush
Concrete Crush

I'm skipping the board of supervisors meeting this morning to work on a piece for tomorrow's paper.

But don't worry. I'll be at the afternoon session to watch the final debate over the proposed concrete crushing plant out on Rosedale Lane.

Supervisors are in a classic development pinch between neighbors who don't want the recycling operation near their homes and the land owner who points out his property is zoned to allow the operation with a conditional use permit.

Check out Lois Henry's characteristicly saucey opine on the situation here.

We'll see you all at 2 p.m.

James....As a follow-up to your article about the high per-resident water usage locally, you may want to take a look at something the L.A. Times did a couple of years ago.  They obtained the residential water usage volumes for the mayor of L.A., councilmembers, and various water district managers and compared them to the average water usage.  The results were very eye-opening.

That's a very interesting thought Horatio.

Here's the link to the LA Times article.  I think there were several follow-ups as well.
