Palomar Mountain News

This is Day 11 of learning about this 500,000 volt transmission line to cut across Palomar Mountain. How did we find out? SDG&E sent letters out to property owners on what we now call the Orange Line. The letters stated that environmental survey teams would be entering their properties. Most property owners contacted the number provided and did not give permission to enter. Many folks up here now have trail cams. One saw trespassers on his land, called a neighbor who ran over and talked to a survey crew who said they “had permission”. However, it was quite the opposite. So, this grassroots action team of neighbors was immediately born to research, expose and stop this project.

We just got word that Horizon West won the bid for their share of the $9.2 billion dollar line. We don’t know if Horizon West was bidding on this same route. Apparently it will be awhile before the route is to be published. We confirmed that SDG&E and KP Environmental will not be involved in the project. Meanwhile, we are going forward to do all we can to SAVE Palomar Mountain from where ever this line will be proposed.

What about the GOLD? Neighbor, Sandra Cagusi follows Amy Reichert @amyforsandiego on Instagram, Sandra sent her the Loaded for Bear post. A late-night phone call last night with Amy Reichert was priceless. Amy was incredibility generous with sharing proven information she has gathered over the years running her non-profit and gave some wonderful guidance to really take this to the next level. The GOLD???? Amy sent us her data base of over 200 contacts with key people and groups politically, TV stations, editors and every valuable gem for marketing to San Diego County and beyond. We are on a roll!!!
