I was at the Ukiah town hall meeting to address Huffman with some facts about the removal of Scott dam but the biased majority attending the meeting were only there for Trump bashing and not wanting to hear any questions about the loss of water resources and the danger of no lake for fire suppression and water supply during droughts. I've questioned the cost of retro fitting the damn for earth quake code, but no one wants to consider it. I questioned an engineer at a friends of the Eel meeting over 20 years ago about an estimate to retro fit the damn compared to removal cost. He guessed it would be half to 1/3 the cost of removal so please keep fighting these insane people with no concept of the damage they're about to do. Greg Israel

Point Reyes National Seashore is supposed to include agriculture not wipe out local food producers. This is a very dirty deal that we hope will be exposed. Jared Huffman is no friend to the people who want a strong local food supply. Follow the money and you will learn who Huffman really works for… He’s not representing the people in his district. He’s representing those elites who want to tokenize “nature” as an asset on the Point Reyes National Seashore.

Check out Whitney Webb explaining “tokenizing nature”, the Nature Conservancy’s role, etc. on various podcasts and you will learn what’s the motive behind ruining our local food producers out on The Point.

The amendment to the General Management Plan must surely be illegal because with the Point Reyes ranchers and farmers under gag order the PUBLIC was kept out of what should have been an open public process with public participation but instead there were backroom deals and gag orders. Watch how this gets exposed under the investigation.

Shame on Huffman not stopping gag orders, dirty back room deals hurting local food producers, their families, their employees, the Point Reyes community and the greater community in Northern California. Huffman has violated the public trust. Vote him out!

I remember the gerrymandering that won him his seat. Nasty business, that. Huffman is no friend to anyone who works for a living.

You are right over the target with "follow the money."

Thank you for covering this. It was put thru under Huffman, Nature Conservancy with little fanfare. No one but ecoterrorists that look like KAREN want this.

Huffman..... urged the ranchers to “speak up” and voice their approval of the deal. The ranchers are bound by strict NDAs as part of their buyout. This guy is a lawyer? Advising his adversaries to break a contract agreement? Good grief. This guy is a penny loafer wearing sap that has little to none connections to nature.

Well, he does seem rather well connected to what is most congenial to his OWN nature; money and power.

Lot of that going around. As Twain said....."There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress." Amended to include all politicians.
