S.F. supervisors OK Sharp Park transfer to NPS


San Francisco would have to enter into negotiations with the federal government to transfer management of Sharp Park to the National Park Service under legislation given initial approval by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

If the 6-5 vote in favor stands when the board gives final consideration next week, Mayor Ed Lee has threatened a veto unless significant amendments are made. It takes eight votes to override a veto.

The legislation is the latest salvo in the long-running battle over Sharp Park, property on the San Mateo County coast in Pacifica that is owned by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and used as a public golf course.

Environmental groups have been fighting for years to shutter the course and return it to natural parkland, with an eye toward making it part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

The property is a habitat for the threatened California red-legged frog and the endangered San Francisco garter snake.

"Hello, I'm Senator Jim Inhofe, Republican Senator from Oklahoma. Today, I'm happy to bring you the good news about the complete collapse of the global warming movement and the failure of the Kyoto process, as world leaders meet for the United Nations global warming conference in Durban, South Africa. For the past decade, I have been the leader in the United States Senate standing up against global warming alarmism and cap-and-trade, which would have been the largest tax increase in American history. This victory is especially important today, as families in America and around the world continue to face tough economic times. Tossing out any remote possibility of a UN global warming treaty is one of the most important things we can do for the economy."

Well now, how the hell are the eco-lawyers going to stay employed if they can't sue cities to stop global warming!
And what's Gore going to do now, run for President!

Frogs, snakes, plovers, SPGC golfers, Pacifica PD, Pacifica Homeowners--all those endangered species are crying out for representation.

NORAHG Responds to the IMMINENT CLOSURE of Sharp Park Golf Course, San Francisco, California.



MEDIA RELEASE



Sharp Park Golf Course is NOT harming animal species.



As usual, Enviro-Lunatics DESPISE the Game of Golf.



Anti-Golf Organizations like National Parks Conservation Association and Wild Equity Institute have TERRORIZED the City of San Francisco for years over the future of Sharp Park Golf Course.



The golf facility MAY STILL BE CLOSED because of their RELENTLESS AND UNCEASING LIES and MIS-INFORMATION.



The habitat that Enviro-Lunatics are trying to « recover » was originally created when the golf course was built along with a sea wall, isolating the Laguna Sal from ocean waves.



IF the golf course had NEVER BEEN BUILT, there would be no habitat for the endangered species.



Anti-Golf Enviro-Lunatics seek the DESTRUCTION of the Golf Industry.



These terrorists ATTACK the Golf Industry under the Pretext of ALLEGED ill-effects on the habitats

of obscure and insignificant species like Garter Snakes and Tadpoles.

We are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOUR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.

Love the name Gathercole. Probably a couple of old fossils.

Hmm, DDT almost caused the bald eagle and California condor to go extinct. And Atrazine is wiping out frogs around the world by turning males into females:

Who would have thought that poison might be bad for you?
