“If I were going to remain on the board, I would probably vote against the Regional Plan update,” Sher said. “I hope what you adopt today will move us forward and it will meet the thresholds.”

Sher said he expects to abstain on most of the votes.

As of 3:35pm, the board was still deliberating. The meeting began at 9:30am at Harveys casino.

Sher is the California Senate Rules Committee Appointee.
