Morning News Round-Up -- 11.20.08: What does San Mateo County have that NJ doesn't?

The State of New Jersey is using San Mateo County's lawsuit against Lehman as a model. NJ State Senator Joseph Pennachio's quote: “It defies imagination why a county in California can so rapidly prepare a lawsuit against Lehman when the state of New Jersey, with its far greater legal and financial resources, has yet to signal it will do anything to seek justice for taxpayers, workers or retirees...” There is one major advantage that our County has over their State...Joe Cotchett...

The City of San Mateo is SMART...and green.

A failed parcel tax ballot measure in early November hits the the San Carlos Elmenetary School District's budget in late November. Cuts are coming.

An opening at the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District following the resignation of Catherine Bonnar was filled yesterday by Brian Matthews. Congrats Mr. Matthews. He joins the other recent appointee Andy Stulbarg who was appointed when Eric Shrader stepped down. It is barely an elected Board now...

The Daily Journal's Michelle Durand is "Off the Beat" -- this time debating the finer points of using the word 'butt' to describe one's bottom in a news story...

Not the type of garbage story Watch Dog readers are used to...but...the San Bruno Garbage Company received an award from their state regulators, the California Integrated Waste Management Board.

Palo Alto Planning and Transportation Commission turned down a request to develop the shuttered Alma Plaza.

The suspected robber the PA and MP Police picked up Tuesday had his home searched by the police to see if he was involved in the other robberies around town.

Warning: No fires on spare the air days. That means you!
