Rio Vista sign next to Sacramento River and bridge 6. Ron Kott showing map of Rio Vista pointing out where Flannery has purchased land 7. SOUNDBITE (English) Ron Kott, Rio Vista mayor: "It started probably about 2018 and began hearing about this outfit that was paying way above market for agricultural land, making purchases here and there. And nobody seemed could find out who they were and what they were up to, why were they making these purchases?" 8. Drone video of Rio Vista and surrounding farmland 9. Drone video of farmland outside Rio Vista 10. Drone video of Rio Vista bridge over Sacramento River 11. SOUNDBITE (English) Ron Kott, Rio Vista mayor: "So this proposal will solve some of those problems. We probably will get better medical access. We probably will get better stores, we'll get better restaurants, but we're going to get a lot more traffic. We're going to get a lot more congestion." 11. Drone video of Rio Vista 12. Drone video of Rio Vista Bridge and Sacramento River 13. SOUNDBITE (English) Ron Kott, Rio Vista mayor: "If it's done correctly, I think there's a lot of opportunities for the county. Their tax revenue base will increase quite a bit. So there's going to be a big windfall from that. Property values would probably go up around here as well even further. And so I think from those perspectives it's good. But again, I think you're giving up a quality of lifestyle that you're that's kind of unique to this area. You don't really have this a whole lot of other places." ASSOCIATED PRESS Solano County, California - 30 August 2023 14. Traffic next to Flannery Road sign 15.

And it was a bit scary because no one knew who it was. And so finding out who it was, you know, although it's good to know who the man behind the curtain is, it doesn't change the stance of our need to protect our Air Force base and to preserve our ag land."

SOUNDBITE (English) Princess Washington, Suisun City mayor pro tem: "The better thing would be to approach our city leaders and work with us within our city boundaries, not to create a new city. I think that endeavor is a bit self-motivated with their own end goal, which is to create a new playground for who they want there versus what the needs of our residences are and our community members."
