Re: Bosco sells NWP to SMART for $4 million

As a Sonoma County taxpayer whose tax dollars are what keeps S.M.A.R.T. operating, why doesn’t myself & the rest of the residents of Sonoma/Marin have a say on this? (and by “have a say”, I mean at the election booth, not the laughable “public comment” period during open meetings) I’m as nostalgic as anyone else to see what little freight traffic there still is plying the former grand “Redwood Empire Route”, but why is it the business of S.M.A.R.T. To take over? For that matter, why doesn’t S.M.A.R.T. buy a McDonalds franchise? If NWP Co. cant stay in business & goes away (I have no idea on the state of their books) it’s a real bummer, but not the business of S.M.A.R.T. to get into. Some of that $4M would be better spent cutting down the 4’ tall grass growing on the ROW in the Alexander Valley & around the Cloverdale depot.
