An Open letter to the Board of Supervisors: Many of us continue to be shocked by your focus, never more apparent than in the recent upholding of several appeals of Anthem Winery's permitting. Questions are hanging in the air around all of us. As the self-appointed Groundwater Sustainability Agency for our county, why do you continue to permit development in water-deficient areas? The extent of the projectâs commercialization of a quiet, agricultural neighborhood has already impacted all of us neighbors around Anthem as Anthem drilled and pumps six of at least eight wells, three of these deemed project wells.
