Dear editor, I am a wine industry professional and long-standing Napa resident who would like a great place to live and work in Napa. There are many young professionals that would like to live in Napa if it would offer appropriate affordable housing and social activities here. This is why new commercial and residential developments would improve Napa, not hinder it.

Dear editor, So, it’s Friday night and you’ve been out and about hanging those flyers on every lamp post and telephone pole in your neighborhood to attract the public to your garage sale. If all goes well, your junk will become someone else’s treasure.

Dear editor, Napa High School initiated a new requirement for graduating seniors named Senior Projects, wherein every senior is required to write a paper and make an oral presentation on a topic of their choice.

Dear editor, A suggestion for Registrar of Voters John Tuteur: Dump those 9,500 uncounted ballots (as of election night) in the Napa River and forget ‘em. You know the results, so why waste our money counting them? And in the future, just tally votes cast at a precinct. People who are so lazy as to cast an absentee ballot shouldn’t count anyway. They’re the dumb-dumb kind that just do what they’re told to do.
