ACTION ALERT – LA City Considering an Oil Well Setback!

TOMORROW, Tuesday, December 1, the LA City Council Energy, Climate Change, and Environmental Justice Committee will be continuing its discussion on implementing an oil-well setback within the city. A setback would prevent an oil-well from operating if it is within a certain amount of feet from essential buildings. Given the current economic climate, the LA City Council's sole focus should be on creating, maintaining and supporting job creators in the region -not considering regulations that would put more people out of work and cut revenues from the City's already cash-strapped budget. It is important that the LA City Council hear concerns from the business community on the potential downfalls of a setback - including lost revenue, loss of good-paying jobs and loss of affordable energy.
