A State bill will let San Diego defeat a court order to restore Children's Pool to the public. A federal judge intervened to give the bill time to go through the Assembly this summer, and the legislators have been given analyses that discarded every opposition statement and document sent them by our side. The bill will pass the Assembly with a heavy majority by this doctoring of the system.
Click and Follow the simple INSTRUCTIONS to send oppostion statements to the governor's offices in hope he will veto this land grab.

History:
THE CITY IS WAS ORDERED IN 2005 TO: : " ....restore the Pool to its 1941 condition by removing the sand build-up and further to reduce the level of water contamination in the Pool to levels certified by the County of San Diego as being safe for humans." (The Order, bottom lines)
65 years of accumulated sand was to be removed and the source of water contamination shooed away.

The City asked Senator Kehoe to float a bill to alter the Land Grant Trust to "give local control to San Diego to determine its own fate". What it did was place another specified use (marine mammal park) in the trust that conflicts with the others and the Coastal Act and the State Constitution. The City has no definition, no plan, no statement of intent concerning this proposed "park". But the designation will allow the City deprive the beneficiaries of a trust, (the public) of the value of the Trusted gift for which it is trustee, and use it for profit. People have gone to jail for that.

The Senate committee that voted for it was given an analysis to read that included no opposing views and many falsehoods, and the Senate was not making an informed decision. The analysis given the Assembly committee was even more one sided, published one working day before the vote. Note our organizations' opposition statements, documents, court records sent the analyst were made into a 2 word dismissal. "40 individuals". The recent election in Iran was less fixed.

STATEMENT FROM THE FOUNDERS

The name says it all... The Children's Pool was created specifically for the children to learn ocean swimming and appreciation of a wonderful water resource.

Occasionally, there are events that occur during the events of our daily lives that force us to take action to preserve the rights guaranteed to us under law and by historical tradition. The Children's Pool is just such a cause. It combines the aquatic education, outdoor recreation, clean water and environmental responsibility all equally under attack. Designed, built and dedicated by the namesake and benefactress of La Jolla , Miss Ellen Browning Scripps, for the specific purpose of aquatic education and recreation and the natural appreciation of the environment, challenges by radical environmental groups (ie., seal activist groups ) falsely target this resource.

We feel it is our duty as citizens and ocean enthusiasts to hold the line against radical extremists that would destroy our traditions, dramatically degrade the environment and violate the Trust, in rule of law, which has recently been upheld in court (see BREACH OF FIDUCARY DUTY page 27 ).

It is ironic that those who claim to represent environmental interests have created one of the most environmentally polluted and unnatural settings along the California shore. The extraordinary high concentration of pinnipeds in this man-made setting has caused a well designated status among California 's most polluted beaches. The fecal colon count has reached dangerous levels and will continue to increase as population densities of harbor seals continue to soar. It is also confounding that so-called environmental proponents would focus on the rights and propagation of the pinnipeds at The Children's Pool while ignoring the underwater desert being created by the voracious appetites of this unnatural pinniped population.
