Friday
we filed. 556 signatures! And, we believe that there are at
minimum 10-20% more who sympathize but declined to sign due to
affiliations, etc., so that puts support to over 600 and represents 18.5%
of voters. Pretty significant.
There is a new Small Winery page on the website under
Issues with some of my letters and one from Nancy Citro in Healdsburg who
contacted me about the same issue there. Turns out it is a state wide
problem. More info will be added soon.
Next
round: This Tuesday, Feb. 11, at the City Council meeting, 6 PM,
Vintage Hall. This meeting is being billed as the definitive one
for making decisions -- repeal or not -- and the speeches will fly.
We need everyone with passion about it to speak their bit. We hope
that it is repealed and we all can move forward to re-reading the General
Plan and building from there.
Thanks
so much for all your support -- this issue reminded each of us that living
here is worth defending.
And
lastly, take a look at the homepage (link below) for the latest report from
the Public Policy Institute on California's future and the fast-read
version of conclusions that apply to St. Helena. This Ordinance issue
has also reminded us that we need to be more cognizant of change in our
town and state. It is always better to understand and manage change
than be surprised!
