The wine grape
industry is the primary reason that tourists come to Sonoma County,
according to the California State Tourism Board. The tourism industry
brings approximately $190 million into Sonoma County every year and
supports about 16,000 jobs. These jobs are in jeopardy if the Glassy-Winged
Sharpshooter becomes established in Sonoma County. And the money spent
locally by tourists would affect even more of us - from local bookstore
and coffee shop owners to auto mechanics.
