The molestation trial of William Ayres is in the jury's hands now. So we wait... if you haven't already, you should check out William Ayres Watch(dog) for more details.
Yesterday we learned that Palo Alto's Mayor won't seek reelection in November, today it's San Bruno Mayor Larry Franzella's turn to call it quits...
And in an unexpected move, at least to Watch Dog, the Belmont City Council said no to putting a hotel tax on the November ballot. Perhaps Belmont wants their hotels to be cheaper than San Mateo...
Because San Mateo put two measures on the November ballot: 1/4 cent sales tax increase and a 2 percent hotel tax hike.
Atherton is also (likely) going to the ballot with a tax. In Atherton's case, it is a renewal of a parcel tax that seems to fund everything in Town and is expensive... the average household pays $750 per year.
Speaking of taxes... Millbrae property owners voted to renew (or not) a fire assessment. The ballots were due yesterday and are now being counted...
Daily Journal Editor Jon Mays gets Congresswoman Jackie Speier's perspective on the State Budget mess. She's been to Sacramento and now she's in DC -- so she knows her stuff. A choice quote: "...I think they've lost their way..." Yup.
