Sierra Club is looking to replace Coastal Commissioner from Monterey

The term of the California Coastal Commission member representing the Central Coast expires May 20, and the Sierra Club (among others) says it’s time for a change.  The group’s "conservation voting score" for Monterey County Supervisor Dave Potter has declined from 64 percent in 1999 to 25 percent in 2005.

The appointment will be made by state Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez (D-Central LA). According to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, this position typically draws applicants from San Mateo, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. Nuñez is keeping mum on his plans.

Mark Massara, who heads the Sierra Club’s coastal program, says it’s time to contact Speaker Nuñez about the appointment.
