(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – The California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names meets today and among their agenda items is consideration of changing the name of the Sutter Buttes to the Sacred Buttes.

The Sutter County Board of Supervisors set an official letter of opposition last week.

The State Committee will send their recommendation to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, which then has the final say.

Today’s meeting begins at 10:00 this morning and public comment will be included. The meeting will be held at the California Natural Resources Building, 715 P Street, room 2-201 in Sacramento.
