First to Sheriff Parkinson: Thank you for the letter to Obama. You are a man of integrity.

Now to Fabrizio Griguoli’s March 2 letter. If Republicans are only interested in power (control), why are they for less government? Nationally, liberal Democrats are pushing firearms control, mandatory health care, ignoring immigration laws — you name it and a Democrat wants to control it.

Locally, the liberal County Board of Supervisors went into apoplexy when they realized a winery had a zip-line they couldn’t regulate. The Coastal Commission is a wholly democratic organization dedicated to their control of personal property rights. So tell me again who cannot govern and wants power?
