As expected, on March 28 the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors agreed to Supervisor Michael Antonovich's motion to delay approval of the Narconon Leona Valley facility and conduct a hearing into the matter.

A hearing date has not yet been set, but will probably be in June or July.

Narconon will be using this time to lobby, bribe, or threaten anyone it thinks might influence the board's decision. Critics of Narconon should be using the time to prepare persuasive arguments for the board, and to let them know what they will be up against when the hearing takes place.

Narconon has already demonstrated their strong-arm tactics by packing a town council hearing with Scientologist non-residents who shouted down a critic when he attempted to speak. You can read about this here:

No wonder Narconon (Scientology) hates the Internet.
