Now that Alice told you about her epic win speaking up for local parkland, I’d like to share my favorite epic win from 2014. As you read this, I hope you’ll join me and make a tax-deductible year-end gift of $250, $100, or $50 today. If you donate before 12/31, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000.
I am dedicated to protecting our hillsides.
Have you ever visited Coyote Ridge in the springtime? It’s a sight worth seeing, and one of my favorite local hikes. The rolling hills covered in native wildflowers and dotted with Bay Checkerspot Butterflies, it reminds me why I love the work I do.
This year, YCS Investments was proposing to build an 80-lot subdivision in the middle of sensitive, hillside habitat east of San Jose.
My favorite epic win was when I championed the successful effort to convince the Santa Clara County Planning Commission to deny this proposal. While these hills aren’t protected forever, we sent a clear message to YCS that our community won’t tolerate paving over our local hillsides.
Ensuring sound land-use policy is what I, and Committee for Green Foothills, stand for. I hope you will join me in speaking up to protect our hillsides from unnecessary sprawl. If you haven’t already, please make a tax-deductible gift of $250, $100, or $50 today.
Thank you for making our work possible,
Julie Hutcheson
Legislative Advocate
