The State - News from July 26, 1985

Workshops rather than lawsuits should be tried in efforts to settle differences with the state of California and conservationists over a plan to permit more homes in the Lake Tahoe area, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency decided. On Monday, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals prolonged indefinitely a year-old injunction against the agency’s general plan, which would permit up to 1,800 new homes in the basin. The two-state agency’s board agreed to a three-month trial of Executive Director Bill Morgan’s proposal to hold talks with the League to Save Lake Tahoe, the state attorney general’s office, water quality agencies, gambling interests and local governments.
