Potrero citizens voted overwhelmingly Tuesday (Dec. 11) to oust five members of the community planning board who had supported the attempt by mercenary firm Blackwater Worldwide to put a training camp in the little town in far East County. The vote roughly broke down 70-30 in favor of the Blackwater opponents. The decision, however, will be made by the County Board of Supervisors. Beginning in spring of last year, the County bureaucracy was fast-tracking the project, which appeared to have bureaucratic and political support.
