I didn't see any masts on the Solano in the pictures I have of it's...
   Read moreThe Chamber decided there would be no political floats in the 4th of July parade (without notifying the folks who were to be in the parade until the last minute) because last year someone had a Resist sign-it simply said "Resist."
