cj138 A bit of clarification on your post.
"The POLO lawsuit was not the *only* thing that stopped Fess Parker and the Casino getting together - that was a very tenuous deal at best."

I am pretty sure that the POLO lawsuit was after the Fess Parker/Casino deal fell apart. That was the result of massive community outcry. However POLO and other community groups like SYV Concerned Citizens and POSY and possibly others were at the forefront of those efforts.
The POLO lawsuit with the federal government has stopped the current petitions that the tribe has for land annexations. A 6.9 and 5.8 acre parcel across hwy 246 from the casino.

Mr. Duncan,
May I ask if you have a candidate in this race?

Lansing,
Aren't we missing a few more details in your article?
"I'm sure glad he stopped that “farmland” from becoming “high density housing” across the street from him. Of course it was residentially zoned land, had been for decades, and there never was an actual “high density housing” project proposed for the property."
The land may be residentially zoned, but it has been farmed for over 100 years straight. Does that not make it farmland?
"But that wasn't a high-density project, it only had thirty units on almost 28 acres"
Weren't the 30 units on the Northern part of the property that is around 8 acres? Didn't each house include an additional second units above detached garages.
"I am sure Pappas and Herthel recall how I met with them soon after POLO formed to share my experience as a founder of the Sedgwick Preservation Committee and suggest how they might go about preserving the Montanaro parcel."
Didn't Val Alexeef the Director of Planning and Development send a letter to the Montanaro Family during POLOs negotiations to purchase the land that offered them SLP zoning (5-7 units per acre) on the entire 28 acres. (5 x 28= 140 units 7 x 28 = 196 units) The terms of POLOs deal with the property owner went from a 1 year escrow to 45 days with a $700,000 price increase as a result of that letter.
Wasn't Val's boss at the time 3rd district supervisor Gail Marshall?
I assume that Mr. Pappas is not your candidate.
At least political ads tell you who they are being paid for by.
