My philosophy was one of greater self reliance, a philosophy of decentralization, of more person-to-person contact. That's what I was espousing. That's what I still espouse.
We knew there were people coming here who needed help,
for those with the highest need in their area.
Tragically, the federal government is violating federal law, which requires an assessment of cumulative impacts. This injures the citizens of Oakland, and every person in this country.

A farmer or an extension agent will be there talking about that particular animal and what products come from it and what it eats and how much it weighs. We're hoping the kids get a better appreciation for agriculture and that they realize there are actual local people behind the scenes working to stock the shelves of their grocery stores.
