Blogger-1/2 of Sonoma are idiots re wine rooms?

Apparently so if you just read the title of Tom Wark's blog. It seems to be a personal indictment of Larry Barnett and the 48% of voters who supported him against a monolithic political juggernaut during the Measure B election and beyond.

Why the need for childish name calling Tom?

It is instructive that the high class east side of town beat the blue collar west side of town by only 120 votes by instituting a full court press of money and calling in of political favors the likes of which Sonoma has never seen before. The outspend was on a ratio of ten to one. This analysis was done by Attorney John Kelly.

But that's ok. Tom and his like minded friends seem to think that unbridled wine rooms blooming at will is the way to go... along with all of the new hotels?

He is wrong if he thinks a 120 vote Measure B loss translates to a true mandate for unbridled Plaza wine rooms, kitch and casinos.

Unfortunately for Sonoma
voters were to busy to either understand Measure B (no to hotels by voting yes-confusion) or vote at all. 

Next stop? Better grab a bike because driving and parking is not an option.
