Roseville & Rocklin Today, the local online news portal (and business directory), recently asked both sides of the Measure H debate a series of questions.  The publication offered to print each sides' answers, unedited, after allowing ample time for both sides to respond.

Not surprisingly, given the tone and tenor of their campaign, the "No on H" (mislabeled as "Save Clover Valley") chose not to respond.  As befitting of NIMBY, IHMYCHY (I Have Mine, You Can't Have Yours) groups everywhere, they thrive on misinformation and fear tactics.  When presented with a chance to debate on substance and facts, they dodge.

On the other hand, the "Yes on H" (Clover Valley for All) campaign responded with factual, details answers to all questions.  This is not surprising, since the facts are on their side and they respect the voters of Rocklin enough to provide factual information.

You can click here to see the questions and the Yes on H campaign's answers, and the lack of answers from the No on H campaign.

Here also is a sampling:

Question 1: What is Clover Valley?

(Save Clover Valley Org) - No response

(Yes on H)- "Clover Valley is a 621 acre piece of land in Rocklin, owned by Clover Valley Partners for over 20 years. Clover Valley consists of a valley floor and ridge tops terrain."

Question 2: What makes Clover Valley different than other development projects in Rocklin?

(Save Clover Valley Org) - No response

(Yes on H) - "Measure H is is a sensible and carefully crafted plan, which will provide over 60% more permanent open space (406 acres) and less than half of the number of homes than Clover Valley Partners' original plan. Measure H also preserves Native American sacred sites, wildlife habitat and meadows. A cultural center is planned in order to share the historical significance of Clover Valley and over two miles of hiking trails."

Question 3: How many homes will be built if Measure H passes?

(Save Clover Valley Org) - No response

(Yes on H) - "404 - None on the valley floor. The valley floor will be preserved as open space with hiking trails."
