LAFCO, CEQA, COG, RTP, FSEIR: LOL
The cost of verbal bureaucratic elitism is one dollar:
Contra Costa County supervisors who use certain dirty words during weekly meetings will have to cough up $1 fines, but the newly banned utterances aren't the seven infamous ones forbidden on public airwaves.
Instead, under a new policy unanimously adopted Tuesday, bureaucratic acronyms like EIR, LAFCO, ABAG and RFP will be verboten in the board chambers in Martinez, not just from the supervisors' podium but also in all written materials for board meetings.
