ON SFO'S BEING NAMED A LOW NOISE AIRPORT -

The Independent, March 24, 2001, Page 1, "Nod to huge plant comes as surprise" - "This is another example of the city and county of San Francisco owning land around us," said Buschman, "They don't care what we think or what we feel."

The Independent, March 7, 2001, Page 1, "El Paso Energy suspected of fixing rates" - "Twenty percent (reduction in rates) does not entice me to place a peaker plant in that area," said San Bruno resident Scott Buschman. "It's just too close."

The Independent, Sept., 25, 1999, Page 1, "Shelter move meeting goes nowhere" - "Scott Buschman, a Belle Air parent who volunteered to represent San Bruno with the county's Winter Shelter Task Force, said the meeting solved none of the questions or concerns that have been raised over the past several weeks. `The homeless coordinator seems to have blinders on and is...(not) fully considering the concerns of San Bruno. The whole package is flawed but they are still moving to get it done,' said Buschman."

The San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 21, 1999, Page A16, "Residents Argue Against Shelter in San Bruno" - "The armory, situated next to an elementary school in a residential neighborhood, is the wrong place for a 90-bed shelter," said Scott Buschman, a resident who met with county homeless officials yesterday.
