Beverly Hills Moratorium
Hi Everyone,
I am happy to report that the city of Beverly Hills have placed a Moratorium to stop fracking and unconventional methods of oil extraction in Beverly Hills. Whooopie! This vote passed unanamously with one council member absent. They too, understand the risks associated with the methods imposed. They have 1 oil well currently in Beverly Hills and they do not plan to extend their lease when it expires in 2016. Oil drilling does not fit their current land use ordinance. Beverly Hills are celebrating their centennial anniversary this year and they plan on having a “safe and healthy environment” for the next 100 years.
I must say Beverly Hills Elected Officials were very warm and welcoming. They were appreciative of Carson and other cities coming before them to express their concerns and experience with oil drilling proposed or going on in their neighborhoods.
With many cities passing moratoriums, bans to fracking, and unconventional drilling methods, hopefully Governor Brown will get the message and stop it all together in California and support SB 1132.
Thanks Beverly Hills!

It’s Time for Carson Residents to Wake Up! It’s Time for change.
By Dr. V. Seymore
It’s time for action! It’s time for people who care to, in the words of the late civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, be “sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
It’s time to stop putting off until tomorrow what we should be doing today such as becoming more involved in the present and future education of our young people.
It’s time to stop being afraid to say what’s on your mind to elected leaders and speak out. They were elected by the people, for the people and they get paid by the people and that includes you.
FYI – As a courtesy, I am forwarding this statement I sent to the Daily Breeze.
The concern that has caused me to request an item be placed on our agenda for the next City Council meeting next week on March 4th calling for this Oxy project to be shelved and stopped in its tracks is that we have absolutely no idea who we will be dealing with in the operations and management of this Project. The City of Carson is completely clueless and in the dark as to who, what company or what individuals will be managing the operations of this so-called Oxy Project. In fact the only thing we know for sure about who will be managing the operations of the Oxy Project – is that it will not be Oxy.

With all due respect, and to the extent it even matters to you, I DID NOT refer to or call all Carson residents or Senior Citizens liars as Ms. Boggs erroneously claimed at the city council meeting last night. And for you now to applaud someone without checking or inquiring about the facts is a disservice to your readers and undermines your cause.
