It is also Sue Lempert's day in the Daily Journal... she goes in depth on the proposed DMB development in Redwood City.
A full-service market in East Palo Alto got approved by the EPA Planning Commission on Friday, which is good news. Some folks showed up to object to the Mi Pueblo proposal, but it got approved over those objections..
Here's a County Times' headline that will warm your heart: Redwood City woman sentenced for drunken driving with child in the car
Ken Kreitman was all amped up about something in the weekend Daily Journal. Not that surprising... Here's the 1,280 words he used to tall you all about it...
A legal suit filed against the La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District is headed to court on Friday... recall that this is the trial a local lawyer brought against the School District for illegally spending bond money on a construction projects.
The Chronicle reads Watch Dog (or Riptide or some other San Mateo County paper)... they picked up on the Pacifica whale-warning story a day late...
It is windy in the Brisbane Baylands, but not windy enough for wind turbines, apparently...
The economy is bad... here are some impacts:
If you get arrested and thrown in jail, it could cost you more than the cost of a lawyer and a bail bond... the County is considering increasing the charges to arrested folks to $246 for "processing costs".As we've said before, the political season is heating up. We wrote about City Council races San Mateo and Palo Alto recently. Now, San Carlos folks are getting in line. Mayor Bob Grassilli is going to run for reelection. No word yet from Councilmembers Matt Grocott or Brad Lewis, but if Grassilli, Grocott, and Lewis all run, they will face a real election because Andy Klein, head of the General Plan Advisory Committee has already thrown his hat in the ring... that could be 4 heavyweights for three seats. Get ready for some fun.
Big cuts are coming to SamTrans. (Surprised?)
To deal with the budget crunch, State Senator Joe Simitian would like to make it easier for school districts to pass parcel taxes... which is good news for school districts, probably less good news for tax payers, and really late news for the Redwood City Elementary School District...
Also to deal with the budget crunch, Burlingame is considering hiking its hotel tax by 2 percent. I guess when you have airport hotels in your neighborhood, they always look like a good revenue source...
Speaking of politics...
Coastsider goes into the politics behind the Sequoia Healthcare District's idea to take over the (bankrupt) Coastside Family Medical Center... you see, the idea was put forth by former Sheriff Don Horsley's, who is on the Sequoia Healthcare District Board and is running for Rich Gordon's Supervisorial seat next year. One of the people he is running against is April Vargas, who lives on the coast. So, the thinking goes, Horsley's healthcare plan for Coastside is driven by his political ambitions... (and hopefully good public health policy)
