Great Park Supporters Put Petitions on Hold
Supporters of a ballot measure to build an urban park at the closed El Toro Marine base said Thursday they will stop collecting signatures temporarily after a challenge to their petitions.
Attorneys for Citizens for Jobs and the Economy, which supports an international airport at the former military base, said a revised copy of the park initiative was submitted to county officials without a required map of new zoning proposed for the 4,700-acre base.
“They keep putting up roadblocks to try and stop the will of the people,” petition organizer Len Kranser said Thursday.
County counsel Laurence M. Watson was reviewing the challenge but could not be reached Thursday for comment.
