It’s that time again… when we see tarantulas out and about. Check out this video from Chino Hills State Park. Remember to give the tarantula space. Every plant and animal has a role in our ecosystem… even if they give us the heebee jeebees.
Poison oak was also out in its full glory. Remember “leaves of three, leave it be.”
Today we toured the project site of the proposed Prado Raceway in Riverside County. It sits adjacent to the 71 freeway and abuts Chino Hills State Park. The Environmental Impact Report is due out before the end of the year.
We are proud to have been a part of this effort. Clearly based on these comments, Supervisor Do has already affirmed it will be approved again–and there is more to do.

Thank you Supervisor Todd Spitzer for representing your constituents and understanding the issues. Read the Voice of OC article.
