The Toll Roads in Orange County CA line up congressional support for Foothill South

Eight congressmen representing communities most affected by the Foothill South Toll Road have written to the US Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez urging that he over-ride a veto being attempted by the state's Coastal Commission.

They say in their letter: "We are very disappointed that the Coastal Commission failed to recognize the years of study that have gone into this roadway’s planning and design to protect the environment and valuable state park and coastal resources. We strongly urge you to override the decision of the California Coastal Commission to allow this beneficial and thoroughly studied project to be completed.”

Signers are Reps. Gary Miller (CA 42nd), Ken Calvert (CA 44th), John Campbell (CA 48th), Ed Royce (CA 40th), Dana Rohrabacher (CA 46th), Darrell Issa (CA 49th), Duncan Hunter (CA 52nd), and Elton Gallegly (24th).

The letter is posted here, after a press release:
