Portrero sends message to Blackwater: we don't want your stinkin' training camp

Blackwater sends message back "we don't need your stinkin support, we're building any way."

Portrero residents have voted to recall members of the advisory planning board who were supportive of the Blackwater plans. Gordon Hamers, Jerry Johnson, Mary Johnson, Janet Wright and Thell Folwer were voted out by wide margins. The five recalled members will be replaced by candidates who were also on the ballot. There was a sixth board member who was not up for recall.

Blackwater went ahead and reaffirmed plans Wednesday to build a training camp. Form the AP:

"Regardless of who's sitting in that seat, we are proceeding," said Brian Bonfiglio, a company vice president who is overseeing Blackwater West.

Final decision will be made by the County Board of Supervisors which won't look at the project until sometime in 2008.
