As if on cue, here's Sativa misrepresenting SB2274.
Summary: I read the bill several times; it only "requires" that County create a sustainability permit process, and explicitly grants County the right to stipulate additional requirements for that process. Permits would be subject to periodic site inspection and review.
The bill might not be perfect, but it would seem preferable to the current "lack of oversight". In any case, we'll never know, because a small handful of individuals have made it their life's work to prevent anything that resembles development or progress.
Perhaps the lava flow will change some opinions; I'm sure "sustainability" will be more attractive than several hours' drive to town.
