I want to thank the Sun’s editorial staff for highlighting the issues related to the county’s proposed acquisition of Union Pacific Railroad’s “remaining property interests in the 8th St., East corridor”. I am using the County’s preferred “Trojan horse” of a description.
Some of your writers have commented that it is unfair to criticize this purchase because it is about improving bike infrastructure and/or the idea of a railroad connection into Sonoma.
However, my criticism is about neither of those issues. It is simply about how the County has dressed up this $2.7 million pig by slapping some “green” lipstick on it…
