Is it ironic that San Mateo County has a high profile child molestation case that heats up today as the King of Pop is memorialized? The trial of Dr. William Ayres continues today. Too bad I can't remember who took the stand... hmmm. (Just kidding.) The real fireworks start today as the Ayres takes the stand in his own defense... or at least that's the plan.
Palo Alto Utilities Commission is about to be shook up. Two folks are stepping down and the City is thinking about adding seats to the Commission. Perhaps the added seats and new members can figure out how to avoid the Feds crashing down the doors again...
There is some shake up in Menlo Park as well, but in MP it is with key City Staffers. When City Staffers leave en masse, it is never a good sign... the most recent is Dianne Dryer, Environmental Programs Coordinator. The story says that she is in charge of the recycling and garbage stuff for Menlo Park and that she couldn't be reached for comment. Could this be a preemptive fall-out of the Garbage Saga Civil Grand Jury? The intrigue thickens... (or we are just grasping at straws...)
Belmont would like to jack up the hotel tax to cover their budget gap. Guess who is opposed to this idea?
No fireworks means no fireworks... especially in San Bruno where 39 folks were arrested over the weekend.
Too add insult to injury in terms of local governments' budget problems, local property values are falling, meaning the property taxes collected on those properties are falling too. Just ask Assessor Warren Slocum...
Michelle Durand goes Off the Beat in today's Daily Journal and she gets all clever on our asses... Ironically, Durand's piece comes at the same time that Sacramento antics continue...
Fair warning to the San Carlos School District: Redrawing school boundary lines has all the political/policy implications of redrawing Jerusalem's. Good luck...
Well, that didn't take too long. Actually, it did. The pile of rubble at Bay Meadows is gone and construction could start "soon"... Now, the breath-holding starts.

Dr. William Ayres is expected to testify himself on Wednesday, July 8. Should be very entertaining.
