Are you or your friends still undecided on this very important local 
initiative?  Share this very informative debate sponsored by the 
League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara.

It features an excellent introduction by Shane Stark about the 
initiative process in general and implications of initiatives that 
get put into law; he then continues with a discussion about the 
history of regulations in place for the oil industry in Santa Barbara 
County and what regulations are currently in place.

Followed is a debate with Dave Davis from the Community Environmental 
Council (CEC) speaking in favor of Measure P; and Lanny Ebenstein, 
economist and former president of the Santa Barbara County Taxpayers 
Association, against Measure P.

Wow, the Santa Barbara League of Women Voters does an exceptional job 
educating our community on important issues with public forums; I 
really wasn't aware of them until a friend invited me to attend two 
others on water & agriculture earlier this year, both 
excellent.  Please go to their website to learn more, sign up for 
updates on future forums, and possibly support!  We can't be a 
democracy if we aren't intelligently informed, so happy we have this 
dedicated group of citizens in our community.
