Big Tujunga Wash

Re “Hearing for Golf Course Plan Is Today,” Oct. 9.
I attended the public hearing discussing whether or not to build a golf course in environmentally heavy Big Tujunga Wash. And let me tell you, big business won! There were too many suits and ties at that hearing.
Suits and ties fly airplanes, and when they see a large, empty space in Southern California, they get very excited. “Hey, we’ve got to build something down there.” When the plane lands, it’s time for the concrete.
The Big Tujunga Wash should stay the way it is for the next thousand years, say the state Department of Fish and Game and the Army Corps of Engineers. Money talks, and a rare sage scrub habitat and the little endangered spineflower can’t say a word.
