Great News out of Oak Glen

Although not part of Riverside County, I can't help but be happy when I heard that the proposal by L.A.'s Mayor Villaraigosa and the L.A. Dept.of Water and Power to run gigantic power lines and towers through the treasured apple town of Oak Glen in nearby San Bernardino County has been squashed. Outrage along with thousands and thousands of letters, postcards, and calls to the Mayor's office has aided in detouring the L.A. contingent's controversial plan.

A celebration is planned up in Oak Glen this coming Wednesday, March 10th, with an announcement by L.A.'s DWP planned during the event. Here's to hoping the news was not premature by officials and apple growers of the Oak Glen region.
