Email from The Andy Caldwell Show Let’s Protect the Central Coast—Together. Imagine a thriving Central Coast—where families flourish, businesses prosper, and our community’s charm, including our coastal resources and rural quality of life, is preserved. That’s the future we’re striving for, but challenges threaten everything we love about our home. From reckless spending to misguided regulations, government decisions impact every aspect of our daily lives. Without transparency and advocacy, our community’s voice is silenced. That’s where COLAB steps in. Do you support creating a massive industrial port at Port San Luis to serve offshore wind, destroying the area’s ambiance and charm, and killing whales? Do you support wasting water in a futile attempt to restore steelhead trout runs on the typically dry Santa Maria River? Do you support the County of Santa Barbara hiring a DEI manager, costing taxpayers upwards of $200,000 per year? Do you support spending $5 million in taxpayer dollars to reproduce Tiger Salamanders that only have a 1-2% survival rate in the wild? COLAB doesn’t! Help us educate the public AND pressure our elected officials to respect the will of the people and protect the place we call home. More About COLAB! Formed 33 years ago, COLAB has received numerous awards and citations from agriculture, local government, and taxpayer organizations.
