Thanks for a carefully crafted article on the air quality on the Nipomo Mesa. Social justice demands that we make breathable air for our farmworkers in that area — they are already marginalized. And the better-off residents of all the developments in Lynn Compton’s district would like to breathe too. Off-road recreation must mitigate or move!
