The reason they do this is because they fear the kind of reprisal I got when the developers' mouthpiece looked up my financial history and posted it on the Internet. I personally have nothing to hide, but this is about free speech, and it's sad that the patch has sold out to the developers. The cops are at Wyndover daily, but you'll never see another story about it either. Too bad. Control the press, control the people.

I was reading an article by Bob Silvestri on Mill Valley Patch and smack in the middle of the article was an add for other articles. Has Patch lost its mind? Was it taken over by cyber terrorists intent on making it indecipherable? Did anyone receive a warning that all previous content would be erased? What a shame to lose a vehicle in which local residents can discuss local issues.

Peter I am not sure which group you are referring to. I belong to Novato Community Alliance and…Read More Novato Homeowners Association. Both are grassroots groups working with local government to ask much needed questions regarding Plan Bay Area. Your comments are reminiscent of a previous poster named Bud Lite who was engaged in heated exchanges. Since his name continued to evolve it was only his message that made him recognizable. No one can give you the world but NCA and NHA are both resources that can provide information and discussion of important local issues.
