HomeMy WebLinkAbout9/3/2019 Item 15, Vowell Purrington, Teresa From:Patrick Vowell <pvowell805@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, September 3, 2019 1:10 PM To:E-mail Council Website Subject:Item 15, 09/03/2019 Council meeting 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. -- Patrick Vowell SLO City resident 1
