A countywide letter-writing effort to change the legislature surrounding the Diablo Canyon Power plant is facing pushback from the City of San Luis Obispo.
The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors' letter outlining their support for legislative changes to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant came before the San Luis Obispo City Council on Jan. 20.
Six of the seven cities in San Luis Obispo County have already approved signing the letter, with the City of San Luis Obispo being the only hold out.
However, McDonald pointed out that impacts to community partners like the San Luis Coastal Unified School District (SLCUSD) are "significant," which include things like budget cuts.
It's unconscionable that the plant is continuing to operate but [is] not being taxed," said city council member Jan Marx.
