Stop the Back Room Deals!

Sam Crawford and the rest of the conservative Whatcom County Council are pushing a new scheme that is literally written by development lawyers. Their back room deal is going to take another chunk of our County agricultural land, and zone it for cheap subdivisions. His schemes will pave over farmland, put sprawl into our watersheds and cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now is the time to speak up and stop this.

1. Call County Executive Pete Kremen at (360) 676-6717 ask him to put a stop to Crawford's irresponsible and expensive deal with developers. Let us know you made the call via EMAIL.
2. Come to the County Council meeting this Tuesday, April 27th, at 7pm in the County Council chambers and make your voice heard. Let us know you'll be there via EMAIL.
   This is also the night of the WTA Ballot vote, so come by the Boundary Bay Beer Garden afterward to watch the vote returns.

We need everyone's help on this. Together we can make a difference. We will be coming out in force to stop this shady deal. Thank you.
