PURPOSE: To discuss the case of the brave Tree Sitters and to update the press on the call for an independent investigation of the LA County DPW and its deception of local citizens, communities and elected officials throughout the entire three-year planning process for the Santa Anita Dam Sediment Removal Project. That process finally led to a trampling of rights of local residents and environmental groups who desperately wanted to talk about alternatives to the Woodland destruction with minimal impact to the major stated goals of the project.
Update: Arraignment Postponed Until February 18 - see article from Arcadia Weekly Also, Cam Stone's photos of the remaining wasteland. And now a legal defense is being mounted by the "Arcadia 4"
