Voice of the Coast shows the beginnings of the Coastal Act

The third and final issue of Voice of the Coast that I have to share with you is Volume 1, Number 16, from October 28, 1972.

It’s notable because the cover story is about why Coastsiders should vote for Proposition 20.  This initiative, which was passed by the voters, established the Coastal Commission temporarily, and it was made permanent by the legislature in 1976.  It’s a good reminder of the work that was necessary to make the Coastal Commission a reality.

If you have any additional copies of Voice of the Coast, or other interesting Coastside memorabilia or ephemera you want to share with your neighbors, please contact me using the link in the left-hand column.
