A lot of this post seems eerily reminiscent of the current debate in Petaluma about the Appellation hotel and the overlay. I have taken strong objection to the public urgings of three of our council members (Barnacle, Quint and Cader-Thompson) sternly ordering us not to even sign the referendum petition. I believe this is wrong and anti-democratic. Of course we citizens of Petaluma have a right to weigh in on a development of this magnitude. For them to suggest we should not even SIGN THE PETITION is disturbing, to say the least. What an autocratic way to stifle public discussion.

Cindy, thank you for writing. This is perfect for me today. I’ll call you, but I am working on developing a training that will bring two groups together. Two kinds of people that are blameful of each other. So there’s a lot here that I would like to use. I’m going to read everything that you’re offering and watch this YouTube. I’m going to ask you if we could do something like this as a test for a small group. Thank you for sharing this. 💕
