You knew this was coming… the folks that bring us environmental lawsuits to prevent forest thinning and debris removal… and attempting to return us to the stone age.

Montgomery has already come out against much-needed road improvements in the Kings Beach-Tahoe City-Truckee Area. Apparently, she would rather have idling cars belching pollution and people using residential streets to get around than the main thoroughfare.

As to the Sierra Club – they have a history of placing insects over people… Looks like they and Montgomery enjoys inhaling smoke and looking at taillights… (they’d all probably rather ban tourism from Tahoe altogether.)

Below is the email that the Sierra Club sent out – I had to edit it, but it is 98% complete.

Sierra Club Supporter,

I think you know how important this election is for Placer County. So much of what we have struggled for over the years hangs in the balance. What happens in the race in Supervisorial District 5 will decide the direction of the county for years to come. Will the big influx of developer money pave the way for a Bruce Kranz victory over Jennifer Montgomery in November? Will sprawl despoil the pristine beauty of Donner Summit? Do we face a future of sprawl from Roseville to Auburn and beyond? Are we ready to have a Supervisor who truly cares and will represent both sides of the poorly gerrymandered Placer County?

It really depends on whether you and I are willing to step up.

We usually don’t ask for money, but the future of the place where we live is at stake. While Jennifer Montgomery is taking no money from big developers that is exactly where Bruce Kranz is getting his financial backing. As we approach the election in November, Jennifer must be able to get her message out and respond to relentless attacks in the form of Kranz’s slick mailers.

With the June 30th Campaign Finance Reporting deadline at hand, this is an especially critical time to make a contribution to the Montgomery for Supervisor campaign, because Jennifer needs to show that she has the grassroots support and the financial muscle to compete with a Kranz campaign that is funded by powerful development interests.

If you think this county should stay a livable place and not a suburb of Sacramento, please make a contribution toward electing Jennifer Montgomery for supervisor. You can donate online at www.lettahoeburndowntotheground.org, or write a check to “Montgomery for Supervisor” and send it to Montgomery for Supervisor, San Francisco, CA 95728.

Thank you,
