Mendocino County Veterans Triumph in Battle for Ukiah Office
Mendocino County veterans celebrated the return to their Veterans Service Office on Observatory Avenue in Ukiah during a lunchtime party on Tuesday. Just a few days before Christmas last year, they received word that they would no longer be able to use the roomy house on the west side of town to meet with experts about veterans benefits and services. Instead, they would have to seek services at the Public Health building a few blocks away, on Dora Street. Air Quality Management was slated to move into the Observatory house.
Land use studies to address climate change along the Mendocino Coast open up opportunities for policy changes
MENDOCINO Co., 7/19/24 — Peter McNamee, of the GrassRoots Institute’s Mendocino Vision Working Group, describes what one may better term a nightmare than a vision. “Look at the trailer parks along the coast,” he says. “They’re at near sea level. We could have a king tide at the same time as a Pineapple Express storm that dumps 10 inches of rain during the night. There could be half a dozen breaches of State Route 1, the highway that people rely upon for emergency response. Some of those trailers could be washed out to sea. A local emergency response can’t manage a 129-mile coastline.”
