Residents Vs. Sierra Club/City of Santa Clarita Open Space Initiative
A resident in our neighbor city to the north is using YouTube to advocate against a proposed tax by the City of Santa Clarita to help purchase open space.
Both sides have good points (nature is good/over development is bad vs. the program sunsets in 30 years, therefore the city can then sell(out) for development) and some very weak ones too (development causes crime vs. "it's really not a green belt"). This is the second attempt by the City of Santa Clarita to get the Open Space Preservation District passed by voters. If passed, the voters will have an extra tax to pay in a city that traditionally is not about taxing its residents (like no business tax for one).
The area is a Republican stronghold with a growing Democratic population. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

This fellow isn't from Santa Clarita. He doesn't get to vote for it. Let me hear from any of the hundreds of local organizations in Santa Clarita that are involved in it. I'd like to see how this guy would feel if I started doing you tubes about his business and his community.
Support the Open Space - anytime the Sierra Club, the City of Santa Clarita, and the Chamber of Commerce can agree on something, there must be something to it!

Well MG, is that all you have for me. It sounds like my video made to much sense. How do you come up with the comment that I don't live in Santa Clarita? How do you know that? Will you share how you know that with our readers? It sounds like you need to qualify that by telling the readers where I do live. Ask any city council member. Sorry to null and void your post.
Your comment about the city and the sierra club are together on this. How do you get that? Have you asked the city council? That's interesting to me you know so much. YouTube about all you want it would be very interesting. Thanks MG!!
