Hillary Clinton Northern California fundraising trip (Napa Valley, Sacramento & Silicon Valley)

[Auggie]

Napa Valley Regsiter / 10-29-15

Hillary Clinton’s campaign trail for the Democratic presidential nomination leads to Napa Valley on Nov. 5 for a private fundraising event.

The “Evening with Hillary Clinton” event is to be at Hall Wines near St. Helena. Hall Wines gave no information beyond confirming the event is to take place, referring questions to Clinton’s campaign.

When emailed a list of questions, Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin responded only that the event is closed to the media, and no further details will be released.

Politico reports that Clinton is coming to California for two days and three fundraising events in Sacramento, Silicon Valley and Napa Valley. Tickets for the Hall Wines event range from $250 to $50,000, with the $1,000 ticket including a VIP wine reception, the $2,700 ticket including a photo and the $50,000 ticket conferring the title of host.

Hall Wines is owned by Craig and Kathryn Hall. Kathryn Hall was appointed ambassador to Austria in 1997 by President Clinton. The Halls are big players in the Democratic Party. BTW, this article has a wine country slant because it appears in the Napa Valley Register.

1. $50,000 ticket to get to be a host

I'm sick to my stomach.

2. How do you think Kathryn Hall got to be ambassador?

$50,000 is a pittance to many in these parts

7. I know grew up in Silicon Valley

3. That's not "Northern California"

There's still 300 miles of California north of Sacramento.

When she visits Redding, Eureka, Chico you can call it a Northern California fundraising trip. But she never will, there are very few people and even fewer wealthy Democrats in that part of the state.

4. The Bay Area is technically Northern California

5. That is correct. Sacramento might be classified by some as part of the Central Valley, but in

general, Northern California is everything above the San Joaquin Valley, and Southern California is everything below the San Joaquin Valley. At least that is how I view it, and I have lived in Northern California for quite a while

6. In the Bay Area they think the state line is 5 miles north of Sacramento

In the far north part of the state, people would like to get the hell out of California altogether.

Google "State of Jefferson". All the northern counties have adopted resolutions of intent to secede and merge with three or four counties in southern Oregon to form a new state.

10. "All the northern counties" I believe, is not correct.

With all due respect to Mr. tom.

11. Yeah, and their economic plan is to roll back fifty years of regulation and log everything in sight.

How exactly they plan to do that with a) federal regulations b) a workforce where all the old loggers are on disability and all the young folks couldn't pass a piss test with two weeks to study c) a great deal of the previous logging infrastructure gone I'd sure like to know.

But Alabama would sure appreciate being replaced as #50 on every list of social and economic indicators by state.

No counties in Oregon back the plan. This is the correct breakdown in CA, per the Bee:

JEFFERSON, BY COUNTY

Where the secession movement stands in California counties:

▪ Five counties backed by their boards of supervisors – Modoc, Siskiyou, Glenn, Sutter and Yuba – have endorsed the breakaway state.

▪ Tehama County voters approved the nonbinding referendum in June 2014; Del Norte County voters rejected it.

▪ Lassen County will submit the question to voters in June 2016.

▪ Lake County will take the issue to voters next year after its supervisors backed the plan in February.

▪ Plumas County supervisors have not decided on the secession proposal.

The city of Redding is also opposed, which is significant since most versions of the plan have Redding as the new state capitol.
