The California Coastal Commission is facing a serious crisis and needs your help.
Developers who are not satisfied with rules that protect public access and the environment along our state's beautiful coast are trying to weaken the 12-member Commission by attacking its executive director.
The developers have enlisted four Coastal Commission members appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown to try to unseat the executive director. Tell Gov. Brown now to demonstrate support for coastal access and call off his appointees' attack.
One L.A. Times columnist refer to the fracas as "the Coastal Commission Coup."
Nearly 40 years ago, California's voters passed the California Coastal Act, and put in place a Coastal Commission, to make sure the coast remains accessible to every Californian.
The act requires the Commission and its staff to review coastal development plans and to protect the coast from development that would damage environmentally sensitive areas, create a hazard, or cut off public access to beaches.
Many times in the past, developers have tried to weaken the Commission by attacking the staff charged with making the Coastal Act work. Now they're at it again.
Governor Brown has the power to rein in his appointees. Tell the Governor it's time to step in and support the Commission's staff leader.
