BIG BOX...LITTLE BOX...EMPTY BOX?
As 2008 winds down and we look ahead to 2009--with more than a little trepidation--I sense a renewal of the debate over development, retail sales tax leakage, and how to keep Big Box stores out of Petaluma.

COPPER GUTTERS--Measure K's Red Herring
;)
The core theme of the argument presented by proponents of Measure K is that the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility is "overbuilt, over engineered, and over designed." To correct this situation, they argue that the rates should be reduced as provided in Measure K.

About this blog
Frank Simpson
Frank Simpson is a community observer who comments on scenes or conditions in Petaluma's public areas, streets and neighborhoods. Occasionally, articles are written by (or about the adventures of) The EVEL Twins (Triplets?): Boris--Frank's EVEL Twin and ACE PINS Photographer; Igor--Boris' EVEL Twin & The Real Prince Of Darkness; and Ivan--The Source Before Darkness & Light. The EVEL Twins are sometimes joined by ZELDA--The Real Queen of Mean. Recently, the Twins (two plus one) and Zelda packed their bags and "caught the last train for the coast"...never to be heard from again. However, they do check in from time to time. Fortunately, the Petaluma Fowl & Wildlife Consortium has stepped in to fill the void created by their departure.
