The Belmont "Parks Forever Campaign" story has been moved to the next chapter. Earlier in the week, the Belmont City Council, through lack of folks voting (2 recused themselves and one refused to vote), failed to put a measure on the ballot in November. But that hasn't deterred Coralin Feierbach, who has vowed to get the Parks Forever on a ballot in the future in order to protect Belmont's parks through signatures (hell and high water...)
Speaking of elections... there is one going on right now in Millbrae to renew their fire assessment tax. Ballots are due back by July 14th. Good luck Millbrae leaders.
Bruce at PP Examiner continues to be on the Peninsula Health Care Board story, writing about the appointment of a new Board member. Another elected body in San Mateo County, another appointment...
In addition to the PP Examiner, Bruce chimes in on the State of the Media... and even mentions Watch Dog San Mateo in his "Bloggers are part of the fourth estate" piece... Thank you Bruce for the mention. Riptide picks up on Bruce's props too... (However, we still would like a little credit for the Pay-Cut Gate title...)
We knew the Redwood City Elementary School District had a big budget gap, who doesn't? But they are looking to have 51 fewer classrooms next year... yikes!
The latest animal cruelty in San Mateo County got resolved yesterday. The prosecution of the couple who neglected their German shephard because of "financial concerns" ended, the case against the husband got dismissed and the wife pleaded no no contest. Watch Dog hopes we won't see an animal cruelty case for a while -- it hurts our feelings.
Really? The San Mateo County Times is now on the story about Pacifica swapping out its garbage hauler. Really? You are now on this story? Really? In a twist, Riptide picked up the story from the San Mateo County Times, who picked up the story from Riptide initially (Watch Dog guesses)... Really?
A (relatively) big, new development project got approved yesterday in Palo Alto by the Planning Commissioners. Amazingly enough, folks who live in the area of Palo Alto Bowl also seem supportive of the 4 story hotel and housing development.
The County of San Mateo is going to stop buying bottled water... expect a lot of thirsty County employees...
