This appeared as a letter to the editor in the Press Democrat Newspaper, April 12, 2014 Crossing the line EDITOR: We all realize that there is a blurred line between politics, religion and big business. Tuesday's vote by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisor's approving the expansion of a printing press in a “plant half the size of a football field above Salt Point Sate Park” is sacrilegious (“County: Buddhist printing press can expand”). Thank you, Supervisors Shirlee Zane and Susan Gorin for supporting our neighbors who live peacefully among the hills and oceanside views above Highway 1. However, Supervisor Efren Carrillo turned his back on his west county constituents in an insidious, low-profile political move. Ratna Ling's religious retreat is one thing, but the printing press business needs to return to Berkeley. I believe the board majority made a horrible mistake and violated the county's general plan in allowing a factory to be built in rural Sonoma County. TERRY LOUCKS Santa Rosa
