Congratulations on acquiring yet another store and your desire to create an expanded offering to your customers.

I am concerned that your plans would eliminate Cheekos. They have been there for...

I appreciate the invitation of Tom and his framing of it as "a collegial discussion." I want to put the discussion of the Efren Carrillo situation behind us. So I have a request that we discuss other...

Shepherd,

Please don't blithely toss out a few left wing platitudes which, although they may have some merit, seem trite and irrelevant in this context. The fact that the cops did show up,...

I find it fascinating that many of the same people who over the years have posted their distrust of the police and the Press Democrat are calling for Efren's head because of what the police said as...

I appreciated the graceful tone and content of Tom Lynch's 4:35 response yesterday. I think for Edward and Tom to share a good, local beer at Hopmonks would be a good idea, which is what lawyers...

I gladly accept your wager, Tom!

We'll have to be careful, though. Sebastopol police have been well known for staking out the Hopmonk and pulling over customers who get into their cars immediately...

Edward,

Obviously, you'd rather compose little derogatory poems instead of answering my question about the 6th amendment ...

I withdraw my question ... this is a waste of my time ... you're...

Dear Edward Mendoza, Shepherd and All,

(with gracious thank you's to Barry giving us all the ability to edit past transgressions :0).

I sometimes cruise by here but haven't posted in years on...

Yahoo, Sandy. I agree with you completely and on top of that Efren has been the only supervisor that mingles with the real community. You see him at every nonprofit benefit and personally, when I was...

I would also like to announce my intention to accept the Governor's appointment.

Shepherd,

Your comment, "...since I want to let her points sink in," is a beautiful example of civilized discourse. Real communication only occurs when we let each other's points sink in.

This...

Shepherd,

While I generally respect you and all you do for our community, I am offended by your participation in trial by media for Supervisor Carrillo, and I will send a letter to the Sonoma...

If I'm not mistaken Ernie represented the Preservation ranch folks who wanted to develop it and then kinda tried to do a little dance to distance himself from them during the campaign against Efren,...

Oh, my goodness! This is bringing back SO MANY memories!!

Sometimes when yer tired of taking so much shit ya gotta give a little bit back. What he did was a great statement and what it said is sometimes you really can fight city hall and sometimes you can...

Yeah, except for the fact that he dumped a truckload of it on the steps of City Hall.............

If Efren comes out of rehab and has even a semi reasonable explanation for his shameful behavior and is not charged with a felony crime, then he will probably not resign. We don't know the whole...

OK, Henry Bernard, come on back. This shows what bullshit "Karen" feels free to post as truth....

Ernie does seem like a bit of a whore - not that he doesn't appeal to some individuals.

It seems like he's courting the environmental vote, taking the opposite stance on issues Efren is...

Larysa received a response within 2 hours of her e-mail. She may not like the signs, but they are not a hazard as she states.

There was no further response because it was confirmed by driving and...

The last two years I served on the Board of Supervisors (1995-1997) the Board established under my leadership a Local Task Force to propose local timber harvest...

My biggest problem with Efren was his support for the Dutra asphalt project in Petaluma. That really seemed out of line and gave credence to the persistent concerns that he is beholden to moneyed...
