If it goes through, I will partially blame it on the public employee unions. Riverside County is so desperate for revenue they will throw Temecula under the bus in a heartbeat.[/quote]
Please. Temecula Republicans/Libertarians are getting exactly what they asked for. Temecula is represented by Republican Darrell Issa. Darrell Issa’s main concern is whether ‘government is holding back your business.’
What happens when government (also known as ‘the people’) is not allowed to ‘hold back business?’ What happens is projects like this quarry which will benefit a few wealthy businesspersons while potentially harming tens of thousands gets the go-ahead.
In fact, Darrell Issa was a supporter of the quarry.
Don’t worry though. In accordance with Libertarian principles you can seek monetary compensation though the courts should your health or property be damaged. You can expect to be reimbursed for any damages in 5-20 years assuming you don’t go bankrupt or die first.
It’ll be interesting to see how many in Temecula continue to hold fast to their Republican and Libertarian principles now that they get to experience it first-hand rather than just in theory.
