Swine flu. Again. One case in San Mateo County. You can take your mask off Michelle...
The next step in the take-over of Sharp Park Golf Course happened at the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco this week. Supervisors are looking to "study" the issue and begin discussions with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area about restoring the course to its natural habitat. Get your rounds of golf in now fellas... (Thank you PP Examiner and Riptide...)
Congratulations Burlingame, you are getting $39 million in new storm drains. (Your "fee/tax" is also going up...) You passed that measure with 63 percent of the vote on Tuesday.
But don't get too excited Burlingame, or any other local agency for that matter, the State has plans for your local tax dollars, and (surprise!) it isn't to spend them locally. The Governor's "May Revise" of the budget has a $2 billion property tax grab from Sacramento. Get ready for deeper local cuts...
Even before the State's tax grab, San Carlos had a lot of stuff on the chopping block -- $2.7 million worth, to be (close to) exact.
Pacifica has some serious cuts coming too... Thanks to Riptide, we know about all $177,000 of them...
Watch Dog is feeling bad today for Jefferson School District's failed election on Tuesday. They are trying to figure out the next steps...
The Peninsula NIMBY Coalition has decided against that name, instead, Peninsula cities that are upset/anxious/panicked about High-Speed Rail have given themselves a name: Peninsula Cities Consortium... Perhaps they also want to disband the High-Speed Rail Authority?
Here's a crime story you might remember. A series of gas station robberies got progressively more serious last year and culminated in a robbery and rape in San Bruno late last year. Sione Motuapuaka now stands trial on 21 felonies (and one misdemeanor).
The "Reporters Notebook" in the Daily Journal has a bunch of stuff you probably read already on Watch Dog (or elsewhere): San Mateo County Democrats called on the Daly City City Council to reverse Pay-Cut Gate and David Lim was endorsed by John Lee in San Mateo. (There is other stuff there too, but...)
Animal cruelty and San Mateo County. We've talked about the disturbing trend before. But the 19 Shih Tzu Lady pleaded not guilty on Wednesday of animal neglect...
Drama and intrigue seemed to take the day at the Menlo Park City Council meeting on Tuesday. A woman was forcibly carrier out after she disrupted the meeting... Perhaps she was inspired by this video? No charges will be brought against the woman...
The Half Moon Bay Bailout a.k.a. the Beachwood Bill, passed the Assembly Local Government Committee yesterday... Watch Dog is sure that Assemblymember Jerry Hill is to thank...
