The San Mateo Police are keeping their report of Matthew Elder's suicide two years ago on the Caltrain tracks away from his mother. The Belmont woman has been trying, unsuccessfully, to receive the report. The City has a blanket policy of not releasing reports -- slippery slope and all that.
One of the most frustrating roads in San Mateo County is Holly Street in San Carlos... well, that frustration could end, so could your ability to actually use San Carlos. This idea, and others, are being discussed in San Carlos tonight. Get your two cents in.
It is Off the Beat Tuesday for Michelle Durand at the Daily Journal. She gives a pretty funny recap of things gone wild on the campaign trail in previous local elections. Her column also speaks to her longevity covering all things San Mateo County.
Watch Dog loves this story: A 25 year old is running for an open seat on the Half Moon Bay City Council. We think Charles Hoelzel could have a pretty good argument to make to voters, given that the City is in horrible financial shape because of an expensive lawsuit settlement...
Can anything happen in East Palo Alto without legal chaos insuing? Everest Charter School, rent control, and now the grocery store Mi Pueblo. There has been a temporary injunction ordered from a San Mateo County Superior Court judge against East Palo Alto from doing anything related to Mi Pueblo.
Now we go across 101...
The Palo Alto business tax will (officially) be on the ballot this November. But the vote to put it on the ballot was 7 to 2, with Sid Espinosa and Yiaway Yeh voting against putting it on the ballot. We guess the business community will also say no to the measure. It will be interesting to see how aggressive the "NO" campaign will be. Stay tuned...
Keeping it in Palo Alto. Predictably, some folks are upset with the new composting plan put forward by Palo Alto's Composting Task Force. The angry folks are now at the Palo Alto Airport...
A "faulty flue" was the cause of the Zibbibo fire over the weekend. We hope our rotisserie dinner comes back soon.

I am glad the issue of not releasing police reports is getting publicity.
The mother of a victim of Dr. Ayres who died in a motorcycle crash tried to get a copy of his police report in 2005 and was unsuccessful.
Why is it a slippery slope if you give the report to a family member? This is silliness.
