Vallejo - No to Wal-Mart
The City of Vallejo is considering a 393,000 sq. ft. Wal-Mart Super-Center on the edge of the White Slough wetland, which is a part of the Napa River marsh system. They are currently choosing a consultant to complete the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Economic Impact Analysis (EIA). Vallejoans for Responsible Growth (VFRG) and Solano Group are fighting to keep this development from happening and we need your help. We can accept tax-deductible donations and we also have volunteeropportunities. Please come to the next VFRG meeting on May 17th at 7 pm at the Joseph Room in the Vallejo JFK Library to find out how you can help stop a Wal-Mart Super-Center on the White Slough. If you can't make
it, just give us a call and we'll let you know how you can help!

AB1470 / solarhot water
Would establish a significant incentive program for solar water
heating systems. Senator Wiggins is on the Energy, Utilities, and Communications committee reviewing the bill today and her support might counter hesitation by the committee chair (Kehoe) being created by SEMPRA (the major natural gas provider in So. Calif.)

www.smartgrowthopenspace4vallejo.org
SmartGrowthOpenSpace4Vallejo is a group of concerned Vallejo residents whose primary focus is to protect the quality of life for residents and wildlife in east Vallejo through direct community activism in civic, social and political arenas of the city.
We're the people who live here. Our kids go to these schools. We shop here. We drive in Vallejo traffic. We pay to maintain the roads. We are the ones who, through our health and well-being, have to contend with reduced emergency services. We pay the ever-increasing utility, garbage, water, and sewer rates. We watch our city sprawling uncontrollably into a Los Angeles Basin-style, indistinguishable suburb for the benefit of non-Vallejoans at our expense. We are Vallejo.
