Trying to silence over a million people who have called for Trump's impeachment, a political tool, does not make sense. Many of us consider Trump to be the worst president we have ever had. "No...

The left and right turns from Highway 12 into CVS are far worse than the traffic outside Whole Foods, in spite of the claim by one person. One can get backed up for a long time and further than Llano...

John, I have a few more questions for you.

Were you on the City council when Whole Foods took over the video store? Was there a traffic impact study done or required at the time of the expansion?...

Mr. O'Foole,

Welcome to Wacco. I have compiled a list of alternatives to CVS for applefan and everyone else, shown below. These should more than adequately meet your needs as well, Bob.

Bob,
You seem to be blaming the victim, in this case John and others on the City Council. They fought heroically against one of the largest, most powerful, wealthy corporations in the world. They...

Here's my take:

I think we should approve this first attempt of a cannabis tax and get the system up and running and see how it shakes out. I don't see any dealbreakers in the growers "hardline...

Well, first, I'll ask- what is the alternative? If the tax doesn't pass the cannabis industry becomes illegal...and even better becomes fair game for Sessions et al...

So there's the whole story, according to former City Councilmember John Eder.

To recap, the city had an existing moratorium on drive through windows for fast food restaurants at the point of...

Did former mayor Sawyer, whilst sitting on the council, say why he thought it would be premature for Santa Rosa to become a sanctuary city? I certainly don't think so.
