Research before you decide

I have followed the general plan debate for years, but it is complicated, and I still have questions.

Even though I know which way I will be voting, I am still asking questions. One question I had was in regard to the in-lieu fees for construction of a single home. Claims have been made of $400,000 or more. I e-mailed both LandWatch and Common Ground. I got prompt, professional and informative responses from both.

The future of Monterey County is in our hands. It is a big responsibility and you must make sure you are informed. Don't base your decisions on who has more signs or on a few bullet points on a flyer. Do the research, ask questions, then make your choice based on what you want to see happen to Monterey County over the next 20 years.

It is your responsibility to make an educated decision. All of our futures depend on it.
