“When the State got caught not following the laws, it decided to just change the law, instead of doing what was right. Anyone who understands what the state has done should be in awe of the state’s blatant disregard for what is fair and just,” said Newton.

At the July 6th, meeting the Susanville City Council directed staff to ‘continue to explore legal mechanisms to keep the facility open and operational, while simultaneously working to open a dialog with state representatives regarding the future of the facility.’

“The city remains extremely concerned for the employees at CCC who are struggling through the uncertainty of this situation and also for the economic impact the proposed closure will have on our community.”

Susanville Mayor Quincy McCourt added that, “The city’s whole focus has been on protecting our citizens, valuable jobs and this amazing community.”

“When the system we rely on has too many angles and creates loopholes to justify and defend its behavior, the law loses its point. Locally a main priority is looking out for those who have made Lassen County their home and of those who wish to remain. We will maintain focus and explore all options.”

Entomologist Enow of the United States Department of agriculture has just completed a survey of Honey Lake valley for alfalfa weevil, but he was unable to find any trace of the pest. In addition to this, the county horticultural commissioner has swept a large number of fields adjacent to campgrounds and other places where it was feared the weevil might have gained entrance.

Hundreds of weevil have been taken by the inspectors at Doyle and Chilicoot from tourists traveling from Nevada into California. There is little doubt but what weevil would have reached the valley before this time had not the inspection been carried on.

At present, there are two inspectors on the Red Rock road leading to Reno, one inspector on the Constantia lane leading from Constantia to the Red Rock road and two inspectors at Chilicoot. Of these, the inspectors on the Red Rock road and those on the Chilicoot road are maintained by the state.

The inspector at the Constantia lane is maintained by Lassen County.
