A broad, bipartisan coalition voted down Measures A & B, sending a clear message to elected officials: stop trying to shut down local oil and gas production.

A three-judge panel unanimously ruled Monterey County could not have oil regulations that conflict with state law. Ventura County is pushing ahead with their own anyway.

After their false narrative was undone by facts, CFROG accused USGS and the State Water Board of “gross misrepresentation at best, an outright lie at worst.”

Some VC Supervisors used unsubstantiated claims of water contamination, now proven false, as their basis for policies shutting down local energy production.

Algunos supervisores del Condado de Ventura utilizaron afirmaciones infundadas sobre contaminación del agua, que ahora han demostrado ser falsas, como base para las políticas que paralizan la producción local de energía.

The permitting power grab has been successfully challenged, with officials certifying more than 77,000 voter signatures to refer the issue to the ballot.

CFROG and Food & Water Watch have made a litany of false claims in support of unprecedented zoning amendments recently passed by the Board of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors is set to intervene in the permitting process for longstanding and safe energy operations, adding unnecessary red tape and killing local jobs.

Policies in the Ventura County General Plan update will lead to increased oil imports, driving carbon emissions far higher than what would occur under local production.
