Re: Open letter to Supervisor Bill Horn [Letter, Village News, 5/12/11]

Regarding Supervisor Horn’s reply to my recent letter, he “presumed” I was writing “on behalf of the Rainbow Community Planning Group (RCPG).” Let me assure him, my thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

I was sorry to hear that the letter from RCPG (which, I am aware, asked for his support for Rainbow and Fallbrook to address negative impacts to our communities) was supposedly not received.

This letter, I understand, was copied to all the San Diego County supervisors. Perhaps, he could borrow one of theirs to read.

In his letter to me, Mr. Horn stated (regarding Liberty quarry): “The site is outside our boundaries. I would be out of line telling Riverside how to vote.”

I did not ask him to “tell them how to vote.”

Mr. Horn, the access road from the quarry where 1,800 truck trips will enter I-15 each day is in San Diego County. The physical address of the quarry is Rainbow Valley Blvd (92028). The pollution from the diesel trucks and the dust pollution will be blown into our communities on the (now clean) daily winds through Rainbow Gap.

Any accidents or fires resulting from this quarry will be responded to by Rainbow Volunteer Fire Dept. You have the nerve to claim San Diego County is not affected? Your refusal to take a stand takes one.

We need a “champion,” and obviously, you are not it.

It would seem to me that the people who put you in that office can vote you out.

We won’t forget.
