Letter: Local says quote in Measure J opposition’s ad is ‘a lie’
I am writing to alert you to an error that occurred in your paper. It was part of a full page ad that was sponsored by a group called “San Benito United” and featured three local citizens purporting to “protect” the County. Unfortunately, the ad propagates a lie, mouthed by one of the hapless three that claims “Measure J bans all petroleum production in San Benito ...” As you know, that is a lie and has been flatly contradicted by county planner, Michael Kelly, and Assistant County Counsel Barbara Thompson. This lie of San Benito United, propagated by our three neighbors, should not be allowed to stand. To that end, what Measure J really says should be printed here. Measure J is an “Initiative to Ban Well Stimulation Treatments and Enhanced Recovery (such as Fracking and Steam Injection) throughout all Unincorporated Areas of San Benito County and to Ban All Petroleum Operations in Residential General Plan Designations in Unincorporated San Benito County and Make Related Zoning Changes.”
