📰 News we're reading
• McKee's ‘trash' post on Yountville's town portal pictures rivals' campaign signs (yountvillesun.com) — A Yountville councilmember seeking reelection used the town’s SeeClickFix portal to label opponents’ campaign signs as “trash,” prompting pushback from the property owner and questions about decorum in local politics. Town staff inspected the sites, removed nothing, and found no sign violations under Yountville’s municipal code. The episode is fueling discussion about standards for local leaders during this election season. 
• Napa ‘superheroes' Trash Man and Litter Lady fight to keep the Vine Trail clean (napavalleyregister.com) — Two self-styled “superheroes,” Trash Man and Litter Lady, regularly bike the Vine Trail between Napa and Yountville, collecting bags of litter to keep the route and views cleaner. Their three-times-a-week rides now involve fewer bags than when they started, and they say locals along the Yountville stretch are pitching in more. They’re urging trail users to pick up trash and push for more bins between the towns.
