Touche Barry. And thanks for letting me know what "nom de plume" means. :thumbsup:
Unfortunately, modesty prevents me from providing a headshot, so I will bid you a fond adieu (goodbye).
Good luck...

Does Noreen have to pay them too? :shitstorm:

Dick and sealwatcher are listening.

Just a little caveat scamper. It's informative to know your zeal is tempered by a paycheck.

Okay, maybe a bit hyperbolic, but two years is still "years"... :wink: Although that slice of property has been on the city's radar for development since the days of the NEAP.

City council had...

So are you speaking as a Noreen supporter or employee (contractor perhaps?)?

After your analysis of SWMC's "business plan" why should we think you can figure out a city budget Jonathan?

It's been my experience you have to watch who is on whose payroll in this business.

LAFCO is the Local Agency Formation Commission that created the Palm Drive health Care District back in '99.
A few months ago, the River area parts of the district filed a petition with LAFCO to be...

The Board of LAFCO, after a public hearing, conducted a “straw” vote of the Commission and voted 7-0 IN FAVOR of DETACHMENT from the PALM DRIVE HEALTH CARE DISTRICT. This has been a long journey...

Guess LAFCO didn't care for the "facts" it received from the District: they voted unanimously to allow detachment.

Is "pals" the same as being on someone's payroll scamper?

Talk about something not based in fact. The whole piece reads like some fevered dream.
And why the snide reference to "instigators"? The detachment group is a group of citizens exercising their...

I'm sure Noreen is not some delicate flower that will be crushed so easily Tom. She is a very experienced political player in northern California and adept at the game. It's even hard to tell who...

Another thought occurred to me photolite: If we assume every Lynda Hopkins sign is a plant by the wine industry and their henchmen at the farm bureau, can we assume that all the Noreen Evans signs...

I think he'll have a better chance if he loses the hat. C'mon Litwin.
But seriously, the odds might be long, but hopefully we haven't reached the tipping point of the Trump phenomenon coming to...

Looks like our little hospital is getting national attention.

I totally agree on single-payer. The most criminal thing about what's happening at Palm Drive/SWMC is that the our national health care delivery system is designed for such "small time" endeavors to...

SWMC sent out its July financial report late Friday and the operating loss for the month of July alone is $1,161,182. June’s operating loss was restated up by $120,716. The total operating loss for...

I realize a lot of the current hospital employees haven't been here very long, but a good way to get up to speed on what's been happening at Palm Drive (both as a district and as a hospital) is to...

And anyone who has read the articles over the past 10 years -- both in the PD and SWT&N -- as a continuum rather than each one being a single piece in and of itself would know that, or be able to...

And maybe we could get Monsanto to weigh in on the safety of GMOs while we're at it. I'd rather hear from city council candidate Jonathan Greenberg.

I don't think one has to understand software to see that something is not quite right with this whole situation. And whatever happened to the rip-roaring success we were promised by the businessmen...

Whose reality are you referring to? You contradict your first sentence with your second sentence that states, "All commitments made to support the hospital have used the existing parcel tax." Sounds...

The forgiven $6 million loan was for SWMC not the district. SWMC really has no skin in the game when push comes to shove. It can eventually plead poverty and walk away. I'm sure there is some way the...

Yes. The costs will outweigh the effort and the divisiveness it has caused, although for those who live outside the district it has all been a philosophical exercise more than anything else.
The...

He's referring to something that was said at a PDHCD board meeting. I guess you had to be there (unless there are further lawsuits).

And here's another from the "IJ " who predicted unmitigated success:

https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/users/1813/8628/avatar92.jpg?1391653363I was shocked to see the front page of today's Press...

Oh my!
And after all those predictions of success.
:hmmm:

I appreciate that you've lived here for 40 years. Sebastopolians are some of my favorite people.
That said, how many Palm Drive board meetings have you attended in the past seven years? I've been to...

It's almost like no one could have seen it coming.

What we really need is Sonomaindependent to step up. Mr. Greenberg was all over it a few months ago! Where are you Jonathan?

We sure could use an investigative journalist right about now!
