I am a Long Beach resident requesting the city look into putting a band on you oil drilling. For decades the city has known that oil and gas pollution causes global warming increases rate of asthma and cancer in our population. Yet very few of the elected officials have had courage to take on this industry citing financial loss that's the reason why they will not stand up to a cancer causing industry in the community. This is permitted a sacrifice zone where the people who are closest to oil and gases severe impacts are maybe human sacrifice for an industry that is a threat to all life on earth. It is time for the city council to have courage. Leadership is about having courage. Speak up for the future speak up for your own City speak up for the residents of your city with courage in your heart with love for the children.
