Land Grab Coming to Santa Clarita?

One of the items (No. 38) on Tuesday's Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors' agenda is the creation of The Newhall Ranch High Country Recreation and Conservation Authority. We haven't spent a whole lot of time here on this blog talking about Joe Edmiston and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, but suffice it to say this shadow government managed by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy has managed to tax property owners in Los Angeles in questionable elections and less than honest dealings.

Talkradio host Doug McIntyre has an excellent article about the MRCA's stealth election that taxed property owners without their full knowledge and put many properties at risk of tax liens.

The citizens in Santa Clarita better watch their wallet as their own version of the MCRA - whose partner agency is - you guessed it - the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy - is about to be formed. Don't say we didn't warn you.
