Morning News Round-Up -- 1.30.09: The January Close-Out Edition...

Back to the Recession Repercussions today...sorry folks...we'll pick up where we left off Wednesday:
Recession Repercussion 14: In cased you missed it yesterday in the Main Stream Media -- San Carlos-based Tesla is in trouble. If you have been reading Watch Dog, you already knew this. Check out the full scoop from Watch Dog Silicon Valley yesterday...

Recession Repercussion 15: Millbrae is looking at ways to close their budget shortfalls. Some standards ways -- like cutting stuff and some non-standard ways -- like renewing a fire assessment and raising the hotel taxes.

Recession Repercussion 16: Daly City wants you to shop locally to help address their budget shortfalls. That's great, except people are scared to shop Mayor Torres because they think they are going to lose their jobs...in any event, expect this slogan, "Daly City dollars for Daly City" to be on a billboard near you soon (if you live in Daly City)...

Recession Repercussion 17: Pacifica Riptide gets to the ripping part of their name today discussing the financial woes of their City government...and how bad planning and leadership are (a major) part of the problem...
A football player is in trouble and he doesn't play for the Raiders or the Cowboys...he plays for Menlo College. Benjamin Kain-Williams was arrested in connection to a "potentially deadly" assault on Thursday morning in Menlo Park. This is the second Watch Dog local-football-player-arrest story we've covered -- remember this one about an MA football star?...

The San Mateo coast had its very own water landing/crash yesterday off of Pillar Point...in an unbelievably lucky coincidence, an Air National Guard Black Hawk helicopter was already on a practice rescue operation nearby and scooped up the pilot about 30 minutes after the crash...
