Hundreds of truckers turn out to fight truck ban in Hesperia
3/5/08

Normally, there isnt a problem finding a seat for a meeting at Hesperia City Hall in Hesperia, CA, which can hold up to 179 people.
However, when Stormy Deharo arrived a few minutes late for the citys Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, Feb. 28, she couldnt even get inside the building because it was so crowded.

According to city staff estimates, approximately 400 people attended the commissions meeting on proposed changes to the citys commercial truck parking ordinance. Some that couldnt get in to the meeting watched it via a television monitor in the lobby, while others, like Deharo, waited outside on the sidewalk.

Deharo attended the meeting on behalf of her husband, Carlos, who is a long-haul trucker. She said the majority of those attending the meeting were truckers wanting to speak out against the proposed ordinance changes.
Some RV owners also attended the meeting because the commission is recommending the truck parking ordinance apply to recreational vehicles as well. More here...........................

Since I live in Apple Valley which has a "no truck" policy I really was considering moving to Hesperia.. I hope this ban doesn't go through otherwise I think we may leave te state. California has become a very uptight expensive state that really doesn't have a lot to offer anymore
