The day after Supreme (Courts) Tuesday (Prop 8 upheld/Sotomayor)... Watch Dog stays local...
The Burlingame Trolley has been saved... thank you Burlingame businesses that ponied up. (Remember when one of the hotels that foot the bill dropped out?)
The Belmont vote to make current parks permanent (by requiring a vote of the people to change the parks) was pushed off by Councilmember Warren Lieberman. A couple of weird things are happening around this issue. First, Lieberman wants the vote pushed off. Then, several folks are recusing themselves from the vote (Mayor Braunstein and Vice Mayor Wozniak) because live near parks. Next, a member of the Sierra Club got in a back-and-forth with Lieberman. So, the decision comes down to a Mayor and Vice Mayor-less Council that includes Lieberman, Coralin Feierbach (whose idea this is), and Bill Dickenson and they can't seem to agree if the idea is strong enough or not to protect parks. We can't wait until July 9th when it is set to be heard again...
The Grand Jury had good things to say about something yesterday (drug disposal)... but we still wait (anxiously) for the Grand Daddy of Grand Jury Reports (garbage).
Jon Mays (Daily Journal Editor) predicts a revolution in California because the State keeps stealing local tax dollars even though we all voted in 2004 to stop the theft. Good stuff.
The Star Light Lounge on El Camino in Millbrae always seemed like such a nice place... (unless, of course, you read about it on Yelp.) That was, of course, until the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control shut it down. Don't worry neighbors, they are transferring the liquor license...
In a sure sign things are bad, Palo Alto Police Officers have deferred $800,000 in raises until 2011. Watch Dog has to wonder: will other public safety officials follow suit?
The Portola Valley Town Picnic is Saturday, June 6th. The best thing going is the pie bake-off. (For all you wise guys out there, this is not the same as your fraternity's "bake-off"...)
