The email for the new editor is jimw@patch.com (Jim Welte). I have asked him who we can email withRead More complaints and requests. If more people write in perhaps they will listen.

Moylans has always been there for us. They rock! They also provided the brew for my biz openingRead More party and they are an important part of Novato.

Thankful for Moylan's Brewing, and their commitment to the community. Support locally owned businessRead More first in Novato.

Where's the daily/weekly weather report? It used to be at the top of the front page? I really likedRead More reviewing it with just a glance.
Peter May 20, 2013 at 10:16 am

What is going on here
Craig Belfor May 18, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Making us start over is the plan to wear us down. Free press is paid for by advertisers, andRead More pressure is put out to stifle stories. That's what the tobacco industry did to 60 Minutes, and the Isreli government did to the Goldberg Report. The United Nations couldn't put out the story of mass genocide of the Palestinian people, and we'll be kicked off the blog soon because we don't advertise.
Tina McMillan May 18, 2013 at 04:36 pm
Craig I thought I was being overly suspicious but the new site eliminated months of research andRead More commentary and has replaced it with irrelevant banter and Ads. It won't even let you edit thoughts into smaller blocks or comment directly to another post. It is the ultimate dumbing down of Patch. If you have been following the Plan Bay Area debate here is a link to the response from the Supervisor's: http://www.marincounty.org/Main/~/media/Files/MarinGov/Board%20Actions/20130514CDAPlanBayArea-LTR.pdf There is also a presentation by the Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area: Is it good for the region? Is it good for Marin? Calendar: Novato Community Alliance Title: Marin Economic Forum on Plan Bay Area Date: 30.05.2013 18:30 - 20:30 Location: Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael " A forum sponsored by the Marin Economic Forum on the Plan Bay Area will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 30th in the Board of Supervisors' chambers at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael. Panelists will be Plan Bay Area proponents Marin Supervisor Steve Kinsey; Napa County Supervisor Mark Luce, president of ABAG; and critics Randal O'Toole of the Cato Institute, author of "Gridlock"; and Thomas Rubin, an Oakland-based transportation consultant and former chief financial officer of the Southern California Rapid Transit District. Moderator will be Marin Superior Court Judge Verna Adams. Admission is free."

We got sold down the river by the developers. Under the guise of a new improved format, they justRead More erased our history. Now we have to start defending our town all over again, while they are already in gear. Some of the opponants of AH can't get on anymore. Brent would not have allowed this to happen. Maybe that's why he left so suddenly, and unexpectedly.
Tina McMillan May 17, 2013 at 11:41 am
Peter I am not sure which group you are referring to. I belong to Novato Community Alliance andRead 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.
Peter May 17, 2013 at 11:28 am
Hello, It took our groups letters to get the change as we do not want to read someones garbageRead More that takes twenty posts to say one thing . I have never had a heated exchange with you but I can tell you I was sick of reading your garbage like a lot of other people were. You and your group promised the world, told it the only way you wanted the outcome to be and got caught by the real people of Novato
Tina McMillan May 17, 2013 at 08:45 am
Peter aka Bud Lite Welcome back. Its good to know some things never change, like folks that trollRead More for a heated exchange.
Craig Belfor May 21, 2013 at 08:51 pm
Can't find a Ghiringellis ad or Famous Holt ad. The advertisers are bailing faster than Julia at aRead More carport party.
Eleanor Sluis May 21, 2013 at 01:04 pm
Find comments by pressing the little red circle at the upper right of an article. You must sign inRead More to comment. Later you can delete in your email all the comments forwarded to you. Do keep emailing to Jim Welte to change the format to the previous one as easier to access and with ads to one side not Grapenuts ads covering the news. Working within the system and changing it will help those new to blogging. Thanks for cooperating.
Eleanor Sluis May 21, 2013 at 12:58 pm
Regarding the new city document: I am continually amazed by the increase and use of words, whichRead More have little relevance to reality of government by the city staff and by the expense of $ 500,000 tax dollars to change simple language into a bureaucratic soup of terms. Government is complex because of the politics behind the scenes and the need for flexibility in enforcing the laws, but that does not justify the reconstituting the information into a new terminology. Here are some definitions, which should be retained for those interested in better information for the public. Fiscal Sustainability means a balanced budget. Tool means a process to get a balanced budget (required by the state). The staff, council, finance Measure F, and economic commission’s goals are to see that the process of determining that a budget balances the income of the city with the expenses regardless of the number of so called buckets and bucket lists needing to be shovel ready in city and council terms. Web-based option tool is information on the web and users are given three choices only or a survey to fill out. Revenue is money from property taxes, sales, permits, and grants. Revenue should not be combined with economic development choices, but in a separate category. Economic development needs to include the impacts of housing, building, and transportation on the needs and character of Novato in terms of traffic, safety, and schooling. Combining the above categories trivializes the budget, choices, and the future of Novato. Thanks to Tina and others who are concerned about the direction the city is taking. http://ci.novato.ca.us/agendas/pdfstaffreports/052113_C-1.pdf

Gee, big surprise! we don't get to hear about this important news, but Julia gets front page everyRead More time.

We had a story yesterday on Novato Patch with very lively discussion. Unfortunately it didn'tRead More migrate over with the new format. I'm hoping it will pop up soon.

I think I'm a victim of elder abuse. I've worked hard all my live, amassed enough to get me by, butRead More now find my resources being sucked dry by some non working parasites that seem to be imune to all attempts to rid them.They've got the neighbors on their side, the support of the city council, and the cops are powerless to do anything about it as long as the courts refuse to take the situation seriously. They're holed up in a crack house across from 7-11 on Diablo, and although the cops bust them daily, they've been able to keep their address off the news and police reports. Anyone who opposes them is called a racist redneck and harrassed for not being more caring of the less fortunate, but they don't do anything to support themselves as it's too easy to steal my money. Most of them have crimminal records, guns, drugs, and fatherless children, and are soaking up my resources to the point of banckruptcy. The local high scools keep suspending them, but they just keep comming back. They hang out begging on every street corner, break into cars, get drunk in public, and spend my tax dollars getting high. Can anyone help me?
