Digging up new solutions for dusty Oceano Dunes

The dust problem at Oceano Dunes is a simple fix.

They could borrow an idea from racetracks to keep the dust down.

Use a spray tanker truck filled with seawater and spray it on the dunes during the drier times to keep the dust down. I believe this is a low-cost, simple solution to a major headache for the locals who live near the dunes.

On another note, for San Luis Obispo, giving people $20 each for registering to vote to give to their candidate: Isn’t that kind of illegal, according to election guidelines?
