Oh, wait, the grant apparently is for 2.1 million. And most interesting, is not connected to ANY requirements to clean up the ocean. So if the sewer happens, no one will ever know if Rincon's water quality is improved. Perfect for HTO. They can continue patting themselves on the back, working the press and being a front for the pro-sewer interests. And by the way, there are plenty of people in the other neighborhoods that are in opposition to this project. I don't think that Rincon deserves all the credit.

Does Stu (I'm Stu) stand for I'm Stupid? A 21 million dollar grant? WRONG. It is for 2.5 million. Nearly derailed? WRONG. But if you think that these people are so rich, then why do they need a grant for this project? Wouldn't this money be better spent on public education? It is clear that this is the same language used by Hillary Hauser to try to scare her opponents as well as to gather more money from her donors. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU for calling yourselves environmentalists, acting like big tough locals and not really looking into the issues for yourselves. If HTO is so focused on showing that there is pollution in Montecito (their money base), why aren't they looking at Carps short outfall and propensity for sewage spills and REALLY taking care of the supposed surfers who support them. Heal the Ocean appears to be a bunch of bullies who who choose to hide behind Hillary Hauser. Go ahead, pat yourselves on the back, but you should all know that since the inception of HTO, the near shore pollution in our area has INCREASED. Keep up the good work.

HiAll's article is not much of a threat. Septics should be better regulated. But the fact that the Regional Water Quality Board is so obsessed with sewering the whole community, when the two largest polluters of the ocean are THE SEWER and URBAN RUN-OFF from over development is disconcerting to say the least.
Birmingham, Alabama, is going bankrupt over sewer. Rates have gone up 329% since 1997 and are about to hit the stratosphere.
And Dave, the other side is not pro-pollution. They are pro- ENVIRONMENT.
And who are you to think that you or anyone have the right to challenge someone's civil liberties? You are quite a brazen individual.
On Septic to Sewer, Sewer to Lawsuit?
