Housing Project Attracts Lots of Opposition

MARTINEZ, CA-Opponents of the controversial Camino Tassajara Integrated Project proposal extended this week’s Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors meeting by nearly 10 hours.

Most of the speakers lined up at the podium to offer advice on the proposal spoke in opposition to the project, although representatives of plumbers and electricians unions, whose members would work on the 1,400-home project, spoke in favor of it.

But during a break in the first five hours of the last scheduled hearing on the project, board chair John Gioia said the supervisors would delay voting on the matter until the next board meeting on July 9.
