" Unbelievable.... be a man Brad and do what we voted you in to do. Make a difference and don't let developers and lawyers smack you down. Why do you think you have this job?!

Thank you Diane Dillon! "

" When the vote is tallied next year, Ms Dillon will understand that the people are not her winery and Sierra Club buddies. The people will understand that there are some cases of development that deserve to be approved without sacrificing the agricultural and watershed preserves and will vote accordingly. Vote on Lake Luciana based on its merits. "

" Yeah, vote for Lake Luciana on it's merits...a private, exclusive, super-expensive golf course which will never benefit 99.999% of the community. "

" Something is not right here.

A further investigation is needed in this turn about by the Sups! What gives or who gave?? "

" Howell-No: Good question that this half-baked article doesn't answer. Was this matter on the agenda? Who put it on? What was the reason given for revisiting the issue? What was the basis for the allegation that the board "conducted an improper hearing"? Did county counsel agree that the hearing was improper and advise the board to rescind denial and hold a new hearing? In what context did Dodd term this action a "sham"?

This article raises many questions and answers none. Can the Register follow up on this action and fill us in, or must we wait until the hearing on Dec. 1st to figure out what's going on? Maybe someone else who attended the meeting can enlighten us. "

" My guess is that the "second chance" is a legal maneuver which will get the county off the hook and allow them to deny the project either by a new procedure or new information.

The fact that Dodd is unhappy with the "second chance" is some inkling that it is not being exercised to really change the vote of the supervisors.

Just guessing here. "

" Considering what happened to Aetna Springs I question the business intelligence of Criswell and Radovan. Sue-eee! "

" gaslight: It boils down who and how much...please remember "how much' isn't always about money.

The truth will get leaked. It is a matter of time. So who will step up and answer gaslight's questions? "

" Faced with lawsuits is the only thing that has made the Sups make a superficial turnaround. It needs to be clearly defined that the agenda of the Sups has damaged the County. The fear and reality of a lawsuit is “unbearable” by Napa County. The arrogance of Dillon persists. "

" The BOS is trying to take a Mulligan. They can't. Westmeyer knows the County is vulnerable and is trying to redo the damage. He is essentially acknowledging that there was a violation of the Brown Act. Doing it again will not cover his tracks. And Brad trying to duck because he knows he has a conflict and is in a tough reelection race. Dodd is right it is a total Sham. "

" I'm sick and tired of bully developers in this county. They do not care, whatsoever, about the people living here. They could care less about the environment or the impact on infrastructure. They are addicted to money and more money. And quite honestly, I even wonder how much these developers care about their own children when they are ruining rural, open space areas, adding pollution and contributing to the degradation of our environment. "

" sharonden - you're totally off base. Dillon is representing her support base which is probably the majority of us in Napa. We all stand to lose big time by this short sighted pie-in-the-sky dream. How in the world does that make her arrogant? Far from it.

I only hope Mr. Wagenknecht does the right thing and continue to represent those of us who voted him as supervisor to stop projects just like this one. "

" does this mean that Sierra Club members cannot vote on land use measures???If this is being pushed in this direction what a pandora"s box is being opened up.... "

" Does this mean that all a developer has to do now is threaten or file a law suit and the commission will just roll over? Well, this word will burn like fire througout the developer corportate kingdom and we will see the end of the ag. preserve and open space land in just a few years. I'll be TRIAD just popped open a bottle of bubbly in celebration. "

" More homes for the rich and famous! Of course a golf course is far more important than ag land. "

" I read that this development is based on investors who represent a Texas policeman's pension fund. The development needs to be completed so that the fund does not lose money. Radovan et al are bullies and will eventually build the golf course and homes. "

" The video and agenda from yesterday's BOS meetings is available. Go to

" The last thing Napa County or any area in California needs, is another golf course. No one wants to live in these archaic outdated concepts of a development - we are so over the waste of resources. "

" Let them prove that they can make their "FAILED" Aetna Spring project work before we give them another chance.

The theme here is "Us vs. Them" step forward and fight!!!


Only really big money can force this forward! Still want to know why someone from a former big family name wine/winery name isn’t coming forward as a major investor and talking about what the benefits of this project are to the citizens of Napa County. Is Mr.? working thru the back waters of the Napa to ensure change (or is it INSURE change)? Guess I am going start going into the alphabet.
Think I’ll start in the middle third, why not? I thought everyone started at the beginning and that's why I think it takes so long to get the answer!
Wish I had the “unnamed sources in the know?”… maybe you do?.

Maybe diggers will start at the beginning and ending of the list? It shouldn’t take you too long (maybe a week or two). I’ll race you to the finish.

Are any of us/you are brave enough to handle the fall out? Not sure here…perhaps you aren’t either. Brad wasn’t!


What say you? "
