Dear Mr. Payne and Members of the California Energy Commission,
The City of Redding writes to express its support for local control and the local decision-making process.Voters in each
region of the State of California have determined their representation and have further determined uses for local land. The
State of California is vast in size and boasts a beautiful and varying geography,where local legislators have the
opportunity to protect their landscape and also determine its best uses based on the majorty of the citizenry's input.
The local elected legislative bodies are the appropriate units of government that should be responsible for approving and
denying local projects.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
