Are Environmental Issues Important to You? District 2 Candidates Discuss (with Video)
Several environmental organizations held a forum earlier this month for the district 2 supervisor candidates to talk about issues near and dear to their causes.
More than 90 people showed up April 12, despite the thunder and lightning of a mid-April storm, to listen to District 2 supervisor candidates talk and answer questions on environmental issues.
The forum was held in San Ramon.
Greenbelt Alliance, Save Mount Diablo, the Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters of the East Bay, and the California Native Plant Society all co-hosted the event.

The Greenbelt Alliance wrote this about the event on its blog:
The future of the county’s open space was a hot topic throughout the night, with in-depth discussions about the county’s voter-approved urban limit lines and the New Farm subdivision, proposed outside the limit lines in the Tassajara Valley. The candidates also squared off on how to keep agricultural lands economically resilient in the face of development pressures, opportunities for new homes near transit, integrated pest management, Delta water politics, climate change, industrial pollution, and more.
