Early results from Sonoma County are VERY GOOD!
First, congratulations to Neysa and Michael for the late results, which indicate they hold substantial leads and will be Sebastopol's next City Council members .
Then, as our democracy spins out of control nationally, California results and sonoma county results look GREAT. Here's the good news for the three local campaigns that i cared about more than my own:
1) Hospital Board: Gail Thomas is headed to victory securing a three vote majority to keep the hospital open and work for a long term solution to help it thrive and remain with us through our lives.
2) RESTORE LIBRARY HOURS AT LAST! The ballot measure to find the restoration of hours seems to be heading for passage, with 69.7% of the vote and 66,67% needed. This is a BIG VICTORY!
3) Measure M to BAN GMO FARMING looks headed to pass!
Statewide, marijuana will be legal, ending prohibition and granting adults their civil right to choose a less harmful recreational drug for the first time in a century, while ending the racist, poverty-creating, cruel war on people who choose marijuana.
As for the Clinton Trump race: Clinton has 70% to Trump's 22.8%; THREE TIMES as many votes as Trump locally! If only we voted for the whole country we would live in a utopia.
