Rancho San Juan OPPONENTS GET SIGS S.S.

THE OPPONENTS OF THE RANCHO SAN JUAN SUBDIVISION SAY THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE COLLECTED ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO PUT THE PROJECT TO MONTEREY COUNTY VOTERS. THE 26 HUNDRED ACRE PROJECT, THAT WOULD INCLUDE 4 THOUSAND HOMES, SOME BUSINESSES, A GOLF COURSE AND A LAKE, WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED JUST NORTH OF SALINAS. THE GROUP, WHICH NEEDS JUST UNDER 9 THOUSAND VALID SIGNATURES TO FORCE THE CONTROVERSIAL PROJECT TO A REFERENDUM, SAYS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE SIGNATURES THROUGH WEDNESDAY, SO THEY CAN INCREASE THEIR MARGIN OF SAFETY. WEDNESDAY IS WHEN THE SIGNATURES ARE SCHEDULED TO BE TURNED OVER TO MONTEREY COUNTY ELECTION OFFICIALS.
