    We visited your town (and park) this weekend for the first time and it's only 40 minutes away. What a fun place. The park was fantastic, the town was amazingly beautiful. Seems almost absurd that anyone is even considering putting an asphalt plant out there, one of the few accessible trails we've found for my niece. We'll be back. Unless it gets stinky, loud and gross, of course.

    The biggest mistake Dutra made was taking down their old asphalt plant and selling that land for a housing development. If they had been wise, they would have planned better. Thinking that no one would object to an asphalt plant directly scross from a favorite park is absurd. Yes, we need asphalt - but like so many things that are unappealing, there are places where this would work just fine - like where the old plant was. No one objected then. Forethought could have saved Dutra a lot of money and headache.

Flash: Dutra Legal Costs mostly denied in Court today.

Breaking News: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 Today, Judge Chouteau denied most of Dutra's requests for reimbursement of costs related to our case against the approvals of the Dutra Asphalt Plant in Petaluma. Dutra's attorneys, Les Perry and Derek Cole, along with Aimi Dutra and political consultant Rob Muelrath, appeared in Judge Chouteau's courtoom in Santa Rosa this morning to argue their claims for over $9900 in allegedly reimbursable costs related to the trial and the preparation of the case record. The plaintiffs, including all of the community plaintiff groups and individuals, and the City of Petaluma, were represented by Christina Caro, of Lozeau/Drury LLP. After vigorous arguments about what is, and what is not legally eligible for reimbursement, Judge Chouteau decided that only $1649.46 of Dutra's asserted costs were in fact legitimate under California law. The balance of claims were denied. Judge Chouteau stated that Dutra was not entitled to
