Who conceives the notion that the mandates are needed or even beneficial? I believe that SCAG has tremendous input on which land development laws pass and which don't. However, I am willing to hear what they have to say in defense of big government. <br /><br />Something else to think about is the single common factor of transportation. If we build more homes in Fullerton, Caltrans may need to expand local freeways. Caltrans works with federal and local agencies to pool goals and money to make projects come to fruition. Why do we need yet another layer of government to "help" with what these other agencies already do? <br /><br />But again, I’m willing to listen and learn. It is possible that there is a good reason for Fullerton to be a member of this Big Brother government agency, but I just can’t imagine what that would be.Greg Sebournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530550845992338383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390192669404630147.post-58927641812603492232010-09-30T21:15:14.400-07:002010-09-30T21:15:14.400-07:00So you think that small towns like Fullerton, Plac...So you think that small towns like Fullerton, Placentia and Orange would be better off dealing with the mandates from state and federal governments on their own?<br /><br />What do cities and counties in the rest of the state do?Tom Sebournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181314524021111122noreply@blogger.com
