" Excellent! Less of an argument now for a mountain top subdivision in Angwin. Commuter subdivisions belong near commuter routes and closer to the jobs. If Calistoga and Yountville communities are agreeable to this development then I think it is fantastic. "

" Our locals have to grub for money for important things like affordable housing, finishing the Flood Project and the Dare program. But, Napa Valley College can waste $115,000,000 in cost overruns and still ask for more - totaling almost 1/3 of a billion dollars. Say no to wasteful Measure L and lets help where it will do some good in our community. "

" Nice. "

" Oh please musikluvr. That's a specious argument. Have anything to base your "waste" on? Didn't think so. "

" Sick of this - I am sorry that you think the opposition arguments to Measure L are specious. I have spent 2 months reading every article in the Napa Register archives regarding Measure N and L. I have studied the Prop 39 pro and con arguments. I have researched the college income over the years since Prop 98. I have attended at least 3 debates with the college administration and was invited to the Register Editorial board meeting because my arguments make sense to them too. I have spoken to and listened to the students and teachers at the college. I have researched the Measure L campaign filings. I have requested information from the president of the trustees. What I have consistently found is confusion, failure to plan, misplaced priorities, waste of money, failure to follow the election laws and anger and frustration from teachers and students about the dilapidated condition of the college - even now after they have spent $133,800,000 from Meausre N. So, if the opposition arguments are specious I would like you to prove it me. Notify the Register and have them contact me and I will be happy to meet with you. "

" Where is the information for the application process? I would love to own a home and stop renting. Could the Register Staff writer provide the whole story? JEEZ! "

" musicluvr - It is a specious argument because 1) this is an article about a State grant to Yountville and Calistoga for affordable housing that has absolutely zero to do with the College, 2) you claim to have found confusion, failure to plan, misplaced priorities, waste of money, failure to follow the election laws and anger and frustration from teachers and students but have offered no credentials and no facts 3) you either intentionally misrepresent the College's funding and construction spending or show an obvious lack of knowledge about how the College is funded and how it spent construction funding. I would like for you to explain how defeating this bond will fill potholes. Leon Brauning et al. killed the 1/2 cent sales tax increase last time around so are you proposing that we not fund the college construction and float a bond for street repair? How does that work, legally? Tell me also - where exactly did the College waste? Still can't tell us? Didn't think so. "

" So a 24 unit apartment building can be build for $7 million, and two complexes totalling 36 aparments will cost $14 million. At the same time, the college plans to spend $808,000 to build one 500 sq. ft. bathroom and another $1.2 Million to build a second 1200 sq ft. bathroom. They plan to spend $7 million for turf on a playing field, equal to the cost of a 24 unit apartment building. Someone's math doesn't add up here, and I highly doubt its the apartment builders who are off on their cost estimates. "

" mikeb that is a different issue. The College is required, by law, to do things differently than an apartment complex, including among other constraints, using the Sates architect. "

" Sick of this - As I said, I would welcome the chance to talk directly with you but I don't mind this venue either. Waste of money - 500 sq. ft bathroom for $808,000...shall I go on? I know how the college is funded - It's had a 170% increase in funding since 1989...so why can't it maintain the college facilities...shall I go on? You say a certain person killed the 1/2 cent transportation tax...sorry it was the voters. Oh, more waste? - How about $7,000,000 to returf the ball fields...outrageous! Could continue on but the colleges problems are too shocking and too numerous. "

" So, sickofthis, if as you say is true, that the college is required to do things different than an apartment building, does that somehow excuse gross governmental beaurocratic inefficiency? "
