PLACATING THE WEALTHY
Editor: I am struck by the similarity between what is happening to our
Lafferty Ranch and a continuing problem along our coastline. Affluent people
purchase the most desirable of our beautiful coastal vistas and then close
them to the public. If we are so foolish to barter away Sonoma Mountain, one
more treasure will have been taken from our children.
Seeing that our elected representatives are so easily swayed by secret
agendas or desires to placate the wealthy before the townspeople, let's demand
that we keep Lafferty Ranch!
