Fort Ord veterans cemetery comment period pushed back

Source: CA Department of Veterans Affairs

Those interested in the state Department of Veterans Affairs' environmental assessment for the Fort Ord veterans cemetery will now have six more days to comment.

The last day to comment on the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery assessment is now July 18.

The change was the result of the assessment accidentally being shipped to the San Francisco City and County Clerk instead of the Monterey County Clerk-Recorder, according to State Sen. Bill Monning's office.

I read the whole 629 pages because I am insane. Trust me on this one: You are probably better served reading a copy at the Seaside Library at 550 Harcourt Ave. or the Marina library at 190 Seaside Circle.

Reading it on an iPad isn't bad, but I found printing it out (I only did that for about 100 pages) was the best.

Some environmentalists plan to ask the state to complete a much-longer environmental impact report. More on that story as it develops.
