Initiative drive targets California coastline development
A coalition plans a November ballot initiative to curb shoreline development with a 325 000 signature drive. Coastal Alliance aims to gut the measure by statute, while bills by Grunsky and Sieroty seek public access and tighter controls. A committee postponed action on a related bill after a four hour hearing. In a separate measure, the Assembly approved 3 million dollars to aid local police in narcotics enforcement, distributing funds to departments on request.
