I am now one of the presenters for the Coalition for Redevelopment Reform. The activities of RDA in this area have moved beyond the scope of their original purpose. Eminent domain is now being used to profit developers and lawyers more than provide for public buildings and roads. In the future, it will be tied to smart growth plans and transit-oriented development to change the look and housing of San Jose to fit an idea that is already failing in many Cities--including Portland. It is really central planning.

Hi everyone--here is an update of my activities: I have a new email address, see above, and it is active now. The other email address will be active for a few more weeks-- lindarae1@sbcglobal.net
ACTIVITIES:
working with neighborhood groups and made a presentation at the United Neighborhood
of Santa Clara County board meeting last week. I am recommending a more active
role for UNSCC in getting neighborhood groups onto land-use task forces. Faith-based
assemblies are also becoming concerned about land-use issues. I wouldn't be
surprised if both don't run or support new local candidates to replace non-responsive
City Council and County Supervisor candidates in the near future.
A member of the Association of Republican Women's board as the Community Activist organizer. Speaking at the West Valley Republican Women's meeting on March 20 at 11:30 am. I will be talking about local implementation of Smart Growth and transit plans among other things.
Chairman of Presentations and the Education Committee for the Coalition of Redevelopment Reform--meeting this Thursday evening, 7:00 at Luther Burbank School.
I am not sure yet my plans as a future candidate, but you could help me make that decision by answering the a short survey, for all who live in the 24th Assembly District. Your answers will be kept confidential. Thank you.
R. Michael Babowal, II did most of the work on this survey. Thank you Michael. Ed and I are doing very well. He has regained his strength and is as feisty as ever.
We hope you are all doing well--
Linda and Ed
