A vote will occur in November of 2002. - does anyone know the result of this vote? Will Santa Barbara county be divided? -- Zoe

As far as I can tell from scouring election results pages, there was no such vote. Here's an article with some background from July; apparently there was some sort of recall vote for one of the county supervisors, potentially tipping the political balance in favor of the north (the measure appears to have narrowly failed); meanwhile there's a movement afoot to place a secession measure on the 2004 ballot. --Brion

Ah, thanks, Brion. There was an article earlier in the year that the vote would be on this year's ballot. I guess they didn't get enough signatures. -- Zoe

[edit] Wine events link

I have restored the "localwineevents.com" link. I might ordinarily have removed it as a spamlink, but it is specifically about part of the valley's economy/culture. What tipped in its favor was the website's listing in Wine & Spirits magazine's "Best Websites" section in its Fall 2006 Special Issue (page 16, you can look it up). --Calton | Talk 01:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
