Oil & Gas drilling in San Luis Obispo County and neighboring Counties provides head of household jobs for a large
number of residents, as well as providing tax revenues that supports our schools, paves our roads, and helps support a
vibrant, diversified economy. For the City to pass a resolution opposing oil & gas exploration and production while
continuing to rely upon the hydrocarbons these activities produce is hypocritical and the basest form of blatant political
pandering. Oil & gas produced in California is the most regulated, cleanest, most environmentally sensitive source of
those commodities produced anywhere in the world. To use those products in any form, as well as the multitude of
products that are made from oil & gas, but refuse to allow them to be produced in your local area is the worst form of
NIMBYism. Vote no on the passage of this resolution and help the City of SLO maintain at least one foot in the real
world.
