One has to congratulate St. Helena Councilmember Eric Hall, whose family also owns Upper Valley Disposal Service (UVDS), for successfully turning the St. Helena Star into their personal PR machine. Did Hall attempt to use his alleged coalition skills by first presenting his ideas to Angwin residents or even his own city council? And who, exactly, is this nebulous entity at “the county” who thinks this is a good idea? The Star seems to admire Hall’s business approach to governance. The thing is, do we really need more vacant office space and storefronts downtown — the end game of acquiring more water?
