Everyone has always known that you need three votes to get your way, either at the Calaveras Planning Commission or the Calaveras Board of Supervisors.
And while there was a three vote block of Wiliensky-ites, the anti-growth liberals (Plotnik, McLaughlin and Allured), nothing was ever mentioned concerning the fact that back room decisions were made; either by telephone, email or tell-a-person.
However, as of the last Planning Commission meeting, where suddenly they are warned about checking on a third vote by County Counsel, it seems that Chair McLaughlin is apparently very worried that she could begin losing a few decisions.
And so, County Counsel was called in for emergency Brown Act warnings, NOT to try and influence a third vote; that it might be a third vote for some growth.
The entire General Plan should be thrown out, since prior Planning Commissioners regularly checked to see how the others felt before a vote.
It was no secret. Even the Planning Directors are in on influencing the vote of each Commissioner (the so-called HUB)!
We feel that if McLaughlin felt sure of her Wilensky-ite block, she would not have called in the troops. It was very clear.
