A business plan


The one daily newspaper in Sonoma County, currently owned from Florida, is being purchased by local real estate champions of the sort who bundle huge sums of money for conservative Democrats.  In other words, greed guys tied to Indian casinos, exploding developments, and the media that support them. The small group of 1%ers includes a former publisher (SF Chronicle), a former conservative Democratic congressman and two real estate moguls. They intend to take total control of the aspects of county government that interest them, aspects like who grants building permits. That's part of any good business plan, right?

Of course, that will not be much of a change--it might even be an improvement.
