Developers make money, a city park would have been nice over private gardens, and who's listening to me. SerpentDove

Yes, I was excoriated and censored for calling Scamperwillow a shill for Noreen. It's nice to see I was right all along.

A simple review of Scamper's comments reads precisely like a paid operative. Harping on Lynda Hopkins' campaign contributions that have been discussed endlessly, with no real factual conclusion...

Yes, follow the money. Thanks for the admission, Marty. It explains alot of the smear Noreen's campaign spreads around.

OK, point taken. Have you, as an investigative journalist, conducted a benefit/cost analysis of obtaining and putting into service such vehicles? If this is such a great idea why doesn't Sebastopol...

Knowing you are on her staff helps me a great deal to "interpret" your comments.

Good point. Check out Lynda's Republican lobbyist/consultant.

Thanks, it is important to be clear, especially on wacco, where things can go haywire quickly. Thanks for the response and correction.

Nancy, you forgot the most important part of the complaint. This shit is TOXIC !!!!!

I see several people seem confused. The fertilizer you smell this time of year is not toxic. It is poop. It is cow poop, to be exact. It is part of living in our beautiful county. The farmers pump...

Seriously?! Forego fertilizing our fields for the sake of pleasing the tourists?!!!! Un-bloody-believable.

Let me understand you…. you ask, "Where is it even coming from exactly?" but immediately follow that with, "..Something needs to be done."

So…..You have already decided that something is a clear...

Scamperwillow, I stand corrected.
It was her City Council vote to which I referred, as Riverosprey pointed out.
Not such a crazy baseless rumor after all, as I suspect you know. Only an accidental...

Great news! Craig has an unparalleled of depth of knowledge of how local government works and he exemplifies the best progressive values of Sebastopol. He is, by far, the most qualified candidate!

I am delighted to hear this. I served with Craig on the City Council from 2000 to 2008 and know first-hand what a great job he did. He is certainly the most qualified candidate by far.
