Last May, Cargill/DMB submitted a request for a jurisdictional determination to the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency for the Redwood City salt ponds. What the heck is a jurisdictional determination and why is the Army involved? Come to the RCNU Community Meeting to find out, and more importantly, to learn why it matters and what you can do.
Our Featured Speaker: Calvin Fong
Calvin administered the regulatory program for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District, involving the Clean Water Act and other environmental laws, for almost 30 years, and is considered a national expert in his field.

Thank you for posting this. As a teacher who represents 500 teachers, we routinely pay out of our…Read More own pockets to support our students.

Jennifer, thank you for all your wonderful work on Patch. Life is a journey and you're on yours.…Read More It will be an amazing change for you and family.

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet America…Read More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing food…Read More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food....
why the secret if it is so safe???
I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information
on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about.
Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up
against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer
and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
