1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:  I am really excited about today's show joining me in the studio and one guest on the phone are Sonoma County League of Women Voters, Donna Roper dash president and Lynn Dooley who is a board member in charge of pros and cons of the Sonoma County chapter. They will be giving us a bit of history about the league and talk about some of the upcoming events to help us all make informed choices when we vote on November 5th.

Lynn will be sharing the pros and cons of propositions 33, 34 and 35. Ken and I are looking forward to what they are going to say. What I appreciate about the League of Women Votersis that they give us the pros and cons to help us make an informed decision, not on just these propositions, but other propositions and local measures as well.

Today is Indigeneous Peoples Day. People have gathered today for an early morning  ceremongy at Alcatraz. 

2. Our Guests, Donna Roper and Lynn Dooley, officers in Sonoma County League of Woment Voters, share the history of the League.
