You make reference to "my little group"..I'm looking over my shoulder-I don't see anyone else sitting here or feeding me info. My log in is VicRiv not Victor and company. Once again jumping to conclusions. I feel Mark Joseph deserved better in the way he was voted out of office. It is my o...

You misunderstood what I wrote, and if you felt I was calling you names, I'm sorry. What I meant was that the traffic situation is a complex problem with many factors contributing to it. Tourist traffic, construction traffic, poor planning from the state and county, non activity for short and long t...

Note from Am Can cahmaber email:

NEWS FLASH!!!

Kathleen from the Chamber sent me an email. Jamison Rd will not be closed. It has been postponed. Wonderful news.

VicRiv

the citizens of Amcan and the entire Napa County population has the oppoortunity of correcting the traffic problem for the entire valley in June. They decided they didn't want to act on it-by voting no on Measure H. SO we ALL have to deal with the reality of NOT ACTING on a solution. That mean we al...

Some citizens continue to live in the past. Wake up its 2006! American Canyon and the rest of the world is changing. Selfish citizens concerned only with " I, ME, MY attitude and NIMBY" attitude continue to provide no solutions. Yet complain about everything in town. The Giai Hotel a dud? ...

For ALL CANDIDATES: Talk of being for the High School Bond is good-but the question is how are YOU helping the campaign. Some of the candidates have hosted events and Measure G volunteers have been present. Some of you have done nothing but offer LIP service. And as far as contingency plans are conc...

VicRiv

The High School Bond if passed would generate $183 million. $125 of that would come to American Canyon. The 'inflated' costs are based on the cost of construction materials, which have increased almost 300% since Hurricane Katrina. The size of the school is also based on the growing population of Am...

You are right.

RRRay-I don't recall anyone tackling any of the attendees forcing them to sign up for the paper. I don't recall anyone being asked to fill out subscriptions or anything other than the 3x5 question cards.

I guess this entire election is about the signs, after all. Many poster on this forum were asking for candidates to articulate their vision and provide viable solutions to the city's problems.

You started this thread to discuss issues and yet you couldn't resist the opportunity for the personal jab. probably have him confused with VicRiv.

and I hope, you too have a nice weekend!

VicRiv

Mel, Once again, you've taken the ignorant, oversimplified approach to an issue.. 1) the candidates are informed of the issues a) they choose to follow or b) say "screw' the rules and do what they want 2) candidates are informed in advance of time parameters for financial reporting and the LEGA...

It would be nice to have opposition for any/all elected positions.

I just hope it isn't someone who has run before and repeatedly lost. Why waste their time and money? The citizens would have already spoken.

We need new blood, new ideas and solutions.

I want to clarify the following: 1. I am a registered Independent-Not a Democrat. Although my leanings tend to be fiscally conservative and socially more liberal.
