Time for Tranquillon

With all due respect to Mr. Armendariz he is a convicted crimical.

I hardly take anything he says seriously.

But to the point of his rant; NO we do not need off shore drilling for oil.

According to the convicted criminal Armendaiz, we should destroy our prestine coastline.

Let's rather not listen to a conviced criminal/

The author's comments are right on the money.

First of all, the great Obama said he wants to get off foregin oil, this plan provides our own oil right here in the good ole usa.

California is broke from it lack of fiscal discipline , free spending ways and anti business attitude. The greenies have screwed the state and cause economic harm to all its citizens

This is a welll reasoned plan,

The coastline has been pristine for the last 30 years and drilling doesnt affect the quality one iota. There is drilling going on right now

I tired of selffish idiots that protests progress as calif teeters on bankrupcy. Wake up idiots and smell the progress. We need the cash!

do we need cash or greed?

let's protect our coast.

our coast is more valuable than cash

Oh now I REALLY don't like this project----with fans like Joe willing to throw process to the wind----strange, strange bedfellows.

Armendariz is the Marion Berry of Carpinteria

I wonder what else he and his coherts might be hiding because he and Andy Caldwell are pom-pom cheerleaders for the sheriff and the DA

more than 30% of the cases the DA doesn't prosecute are dangeroius drug dealers

I wonder how many of those not being prosecuted are close personal friends of the DA or are large political contributors of the DA

and the cash Armendariz and Andy Caldwell say we need all goes to the sheiff and the DA

so the question is do we need cash for political favors or do we need to save our coast?

The Tranquillon ridge deal will encourage more drilling off California shores without a change in state law. Not only does that set a bad precedent, but the end-run around our State Lands Commission does as well.

State legislators should leave the decision by the State Lands Commission intact or propose legislation to lift the state moratorium on off-shore drilling. To do otherwise is to abandon the rule of law and begin rule by fiscal expediency, which is largely how our current fiscal crisis was created in the first place.

Armendariz wrote, :...voters already made it clear in the recent election that they will not tolerate more taxes."

Nope, sorry Joe, that is not what happened no matter what is in the feverish minds of the Elephants. The voters rejected the financial stunts of Arnold and the inability of the pig-headed legislators to do their job and told them to fix the problem they created.

Cappysgoat, when you say he is a convicted criminal are you referring to when he rolled his car on a winding road while driving with more than twice the legal limit of alcohol in his blood? When he spent 10 days in jail after pleading no contest to misdemeanor drunken driving?

I think his three years' probation is up now. Maybe he addressed his alcoholism. Not that it made him a better politician.

The big deal about adding a few more wells is:

The eco groupies see their political clout slipping away. Cry us a river.
