In 1972, The Independent came out in support of Proposition B, a local measure titled the Save All Valley Environment Initiative (SAVE) designed to curb local development in the region. While the proposition was successful, the paper was boycotted by major advertisers as a result of the paper's support, which turned the paper into a weekly rather than thrice-weekly publication.[5][6][7]
