Are you willing to destroy the Peñasquitos wetlands that are our heritage and our legacy? Are you willing to have ventilation buildings spewing diesel fumes into your neighborhood? Do you want to raise the grade of Jimmy Durante and Carmel Valley Road and permanently change the landscape of Del Mar? The incumbents and Mr. Sinnott are. The challengers are opposed to the enormously expensive, environmentally destructive and senselessly useless railroad development.
