Newhall Ranch Project
The Newhall Ranch specific plan is specifically about campaign financing. Attendance at a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting is sufficient to see the power of the legal bribes called campaign contributions.
How can Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich be expected to make an objective decision about the fate of the project known as Newhall Ranch when the vast and powerful corporation that owns the property has given thousands of dollars to get Mr. Antonovich elected? Can Mr. Antonovich and the other supervisors who have also accepted such contributions really make an impartial decision?
As in every other aspect of our lives, money rules--and the Newhall Land & Farming Co. certainly has plenty of money.
