Opponents of Pierside Village Plan Are Feeling ‘Sandbagged’
What a travesty of justice! That’s what the Coastal Commission hearing was in Huntington Beach on July 17 (“Coastal Panel Won’t Rehear Pierside Plan,” July 18). The meeting was held in the Huntington Beach City Council chambers to consider Pierside Village, among other state issues.
At 9 a.m., we arrived to participate. After hearing all (other) issues, it was our turn at 4:30. Roger Slates wanted a vote on “substantial issues.” Why was Roger Slates even involved when he is an alternate?
We were sandbagged. Slates, Mark Nathanson, Bonnie Neeley, Steve MacElvaine and David Malcolm, shame on you. You owed us a hearing on Pierside and not to sandbag us on a technicality.
What goes around comes around. We’ll be here.
