Following a wave of name familiarity in the community,
Paula Deel has retained her seat on the Newberry CSD board.
Margie Roberts has edged out the second seat from Carmyn Vanlom
by 9 votes.
Paula Deel sits on the existing board that earlier this
year voted to greenlight the devastating Daggett Solar Power Project
that will forever decay the ambiance and the quality of life in
Newberry Springs.
The Daggett solar project will have a devaluating
impact upon the local residential property values and will increase
the airborne hazardous levels of carcinogenic silica dust that all
Newberrians will have to breathe.
Newberry Springs is becoming a respiratory toxic zone.
Logically, Newberry voters should not have wanted to
reward Paula Deel by reelecting her. But then, Newberry is anything
but logical.
As construction of the solar facility advances during
the next 5-years and additional acreage is added to the project, Newberry
Springs will accelerate its downward spiral as an economically depressed
residential community.
