Barry, your orange highlighting suggests that Neysa would have posted endorsements from the 3 Council members not facing reelection if she had received them - and that the three did not offer to...

Whether its honoring Neysa's choice or whatever, I think its good to have a competent, independent voice on the Council. A vote for Neysa alone is the best way to help get her a victory.

With regard to the Sebastopol City Council election, does anyone have an insight as to why Diana Rich has been endorsed by current Council members Patrick Slayter, Una Glass and Sarah Gurney, and...

These comments by Dan are certainly among the best on this thread. They are rational and persuasive--a good example of how to influence opinion, rather than merely attack a person.

I agree with Ted—strongly—that civility on both sides of the 5th District would benefit all of us in West County.

One of them, Noreen or Lynda, is going to win, and all of us are going to need to...

The Sebastopol Grange and KOWS-FM were kind enough to host a City Council Candidate Forum yesterday. There was a good turnout and everybody got to see who the candidate are and how they plan to help...

I am surprised that the proposed hotel is news to so many people. Everyone who has lived in town for more than a few years should be very aware that this property has long been the subject of...

He's the person I'd vote for.

I'm glad to see so many people here are able to see past the shiny piles of money that surround Hopkins and Evans. It gives me hope that maybe in the 5th District, we are smart enough to preserve our...

It is simply unbelievable how much out-of-district money is being poured into the Fifth District race for Lynda and Noreen (neither of whom have ever voted in the district...sorry, sorry, sorry).

I am still leaning towards voting for Noreen Evans, but I do like what Tim stands for. (https://www.sergentforsupervisor.com) It bothers me that Lynda Hopkins has taken so much money from outside...

This was one of the most telling pieces printed by the PD so far. It was before they officially endorsed their candidate, but part of their manipulation of readers to in effort to narrow the field...

You have a better option, 5th District. Don't hold your nose and vote for the carpetbaggers bought and paid for by the special interests.

Vote for Tim Sergent. He has experience and is one of us....

I just drove through Forestville today, and saw the Tim Sergent signs by the hardware store and La Rosa. Neither of them were obstructing my view at all. Maybe they've moved them since you were there...

Noreen Evans is a "new face" like Hillary Rodham Clinton is a new face. Blech!!!
