Pacific Grove is no longer mentioned on any ICLEI member lists at the website. There’s hope yet for our city leaders. Time for Monterey to wake up and quit supporting them with money and compliance too.
ICLEI methods include infiltrating local government. Organization representatives seek to be hired into local planning departments or they provide “toolkits” to staff. Too many elected officials such as Cool Mayors allow ICLEI to influence policy changes through the use of funding incentives and rewards. While some of these policies sound good on the surface, they result in consequences such as:
* High-density housing scams
* Traffic congestion
* Open space where access is not allowed
* Government “partnering” with favored private businesses and non-profit agencies, using your tax money
* Undermining Constitutional administration of government
* Managed control over your life
* Mismanagement of public utilities
* Prohibitions on natural resource management leading to increased fire hazards, lack of water, and private property restrictions,
* Increased taxes, fees, regulations and restrictions
