Unfortunately, our County Commission decided last night to create nine TIDD districts for SunCal corporation. Thanks to Teresa Cordova and Deanna Archuleta for voting NO. See CoCo's blog if you want to know what the general tone of the evening was. She pretty much nails it.

The one thing missing from CoCo's blog is that in addition to the people in suits (with "I Support TIDDs" emblazoned on their breasts...very funny) , there was also a great diversity of voices showing up to urge Commissioners to use caution, to slow down the process. There was some really compelling commentary made against the use of TIDDs in greenfields, and it wasn't coming from us. This was heartening and makes us realize that there are more and more people, like us, who are beginning to clue into this situation.

One of the Commissioners spent considerable time pointing out how long he's been around when it comes to these issues. Well, we've been around a long time too, and one thing we've learned is that it takes time sometimes to really wrap ones head around all the implications of an otherwise pat explanatory chart on paper. There's no rush, and we don't quite understand why, as CoCo points out, there seems to be a mad dash for the piggybank.

Could it be the "lightbulb" factor? As in, the one coming on over the heads of the general public?
