Letter: Let the voters decide

Are South Lake Tahoe's neighborhoods for sale? Over the last few years our
city has allowed out-of-town investors to turn houses into motels and
developers to build large scale lodging properties in our residential

neighborhoods.The local residents now want a chance to decide if we want
these motels in our neighborhoods. The petition being circulated will let
local voters make that decision. That is how democracy works using the
Initiative Process.

In the meantime, there is a lot of talk that big money from outside special
interest groups will swoop down on our town with mega-bucks and influence the
election. Just what we don't need is "flat-landers" trying to buy our town
and the lifestyle we earned by living here. It is a simple choice: LET THE
VOTERS DECIDE!
