Rosenthal Most Qualified for D1 Supervisor
Monica Rosenthal, Candidate for District 1 Supervisor, has been involved in MANY different agencies and organizations within Lake County for over 20 years. She has depth of knowledge that will enable her to hit the ground running as our County representative.
Examples include serving on the Lake County Planning Commission, the Lake County Farm Bureau Board, and on the Napa/Lake Workforce Investment Board.
When I compare Mr. Simon’s resume to Ms. Rosenthal’s, she wins hands down. Monica’s extensive volunteer activities provide a much broader base of knowledge and relevant experience.
As a resident of Hidden Valley Lake I have discussed a few of our most pressing County-related problems with her. One is the water moratorium, which has rendered our undeveloped lots worthless because no new water service can be provided. She has investigated the issues behind the water moratorium and has a strategy for working with relevant State agencies to resolve this edict.
Another high priority issue is the County building permitting process. With local residents trying to rebuild after the Valley fire, many complain of the disorganization in our County building department. Monica’s planning background combined with the relationships she has developed over the years will foster a proactive approach with higher expectations and better oversight to enable residents’ recovery efforts.
I am supporting Monica because experience and qualifications matter.
Join me in voting for Monica Rosenthal as our next District 1 Supervisor.

Yes on Measure Y — Yes for Schools
On Tuesday, November 8, 2016, the voters in the Konocti Unified School District (KUSD) will be asked to consider Measure Y, a local school bond.
KUSD has increased enrollment by 300 students in the past 3 years and we are running out of classroom space. Measure Y funds will be used to build new classrooms and science labs to accommodate our growing student enrollment.
Funds will also replace or improve our older school buildings, help ensure the safety and security of our students and our staff, and provide better access to modern technology.
Measure Y provides for strict accountability. We will conduct annual audits to ensure bond funds are spent properly and an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee will be appointed to monitor and report to the community on all bond expenditures. The oversight committee, composed of local residents, will ensure that all bond funds are spent as planned for the benefit of local elementary and high school students.
The District has been successful with bond funds in the past. The District completed all projects promised to voters in 2004 and the District also secured almost $14 million in state matching and joint use funds.
If Measure Y is successful, the District will be eligible additional matching funds from the State.
Measure Y provides local control and funding, and increases the number of classrooms for our student population. Quality schools protect and enhance our property values and our community.
Please vote Yes on Measure Y.

All about profits
Thank you Howard Glasser , for your article regarding the health hazards associated with Cell tower radiation.
A group of us did voice our concerns to City Council when a tower was proposed in our area.
The cell company’s legal buzzards implied this was just an old wives tale.
It’s all about profits.
Money doesn’t help much when you get the cancer or other disorders linked to this type technology.

The wall
When Hillary wins the election, will she build a wall around Trump?

The Trump types of days past
All politics aside, and simply put, the “Hillary Clinton types” in my life were barely noticeable, but the “Donald Trump types” (read: mean, petty, lying bullies) — both adults and children — made much of my childhood miserable.
Pure meanness.
