Burlingame said no first, then Atherton. These two are the first 2 cities to say no to the Garbage Palace being proposed by the South Bayside Waste Management Authority. (If you are new to Watch Dog, here is an (in)complete (but juicy) history of this issue.) Last week, Burlingame City Councilmember Jerry Deal overtook Jesus Nava in the race for the best quote related to garbage, calling the Garbage Palace a: "...glorified trash can..." In case you are wondering, 5 cities have said yes to the controversial recycling center: Redwood City, East Palo Alto, San Mateo, San Carlos, and Foster City. To catch you up, Watch Dog's official tally on the funding for the "Glorified Trash Can" is: SBWMA 5, NaySayers 2. Stay tuned...It was not a quiet weekend in San Carlos...on Saturday night/Sunday morning about 4 dozen cars were slashed and smashed. Folks from the White Oaks neighborhood plan to rise up at tonight's City Council meeting...
Add Redwood City (and Burlingame and Menlo Park and Daly City) to the list of cities considering cuts/new revenues...are you as tired of this story as Watch Dog is? (hat tip to PP Examiner for their Daly City Memo...)
Michelle Durand's "Off the Beat" is in step with Watch Dog's views of the State Budget...plus, she goes through her own personal diva-type demands for her vote next election...Michelle, your demands should be posted on The Smoking Gun like Barbra's...
Speaking of the State Budget...Jefferson Union High School District fared better than they expected. A ripple of good news in a sea of bad?
John Horgan in the County Times chimes in on the length of time the Burlingame Safeway project (longer than WWII)...and speculates about a contested Sheriff's race...
"You come from the Half Moon Bay side and I'll come from the Pacifica side...we'll meet in the middle..." That fake conversation about the Devil's Slide Tunnel could be true. The tunnel is reaching its half-way point toward completion...
Pacifica's best reporter/bloggers at Riptide inform us that the Pacifica City Council, who were considering a $.01 sales tax hike with no end date, shifted to a 3/4 cent sales tax hike with a 9 year sunset...the Pacifica City Council will discuss the issue this Friday at 6 p.m. Thank you Riptide...
