COMMUNICATIONS WITH PLACER COUNTY ABOUT DONNER SUMMIT

if you are interested in background on my efforts to access Royal Gorge LLC's November submissions to Placer County, please visit the documents page of www.saveserenelakes.org , upper left side, OFFICIAL COUNTY DOCUMENTS column.  When you read Mr. Johnson's response to me, do be aware that it is all legalistic gobbledygook,  as all of his spinning can only apply, in the case of this specific exception to records access, to county generated documents, as this exception is more or less the old "work product" rule rephrased.  A submission by a developer in furtherance of their project will not, by definition, fall under this rule- and there is no rocket science involved in figuring this out.

Happy reading, and ask yourself,  is this just the tip of the iceberg in Placer County's Planning Department?  Has Royal Gorge been having quiet reviews since June,  but no one was in the forest to hear the tree fall, or in this case, no one asked for records,  lulled by the fact Placer County had said last June they'd post RG's submissions up on the County web site? (www.placer.ca.gov/Departments/CommunityDevelopment/Planning/RoyalGorge.aspx)

Do other large developers enjoy the same "black-out" period on public involvement in the planning process as does Royal Gorge, or is Royal Gorge being treated in a special manner?  and last question, if this is special treatment for Royal Gorge, which we as taxpayers are paying for, ask yourself, "WHY?"
