Strategic Lawsuit Apropos of Polluted Parking ·· {August 1996} ·· An environmental justice group is sued for measuring polluted air in parking garages.
CalTrans Coverup? ·· {June 1994} ·· The California Department of Transportation put a "flyover lane" through the ecologically sensitive Emeryville Crescent.

"It's every bit as defining of California as coast redwoods, gray whales or polished granite domes, but you rarely see poison oak on the postcards tourists send home to Dubuque."
