Morning News Round-Up -- 10.14.09: Politics, Politics, Politics...

Local politics...

Sequoia Union High School District (a.k.a. the District that continues to try to keep Charter schools out) has an election coming up. The Daily Journal gives us all insight into the race, then proceeds to make an endorsement in the race... two actually: Chris Thomsen and Alan Sarver.

Newcomer Michael Brownrigg is taking on three heavy-weight incumbents for Burlingame City Council. We always knew Brownrigg had some balls. Burlingame Vice Mayor Cathy Baylock tattled on her neighbors and now has set a historic precedent… no pun intended. Wonder how Brownrigg would handle this one...

San Mateo Union High School newcomer Mike Loy shakes up the race. Not hard considering the District has been mired in financial problems, a.k.a: mismanagement.

Now crime...

Police arrested two men accused of stealing nine iPhones worth $5,400 from a Burlingame store. Police caught up with them after a short car chase Monday night. Perhaps the thieves should have turned off the GPS in the iPhones...

The former Daly City man authorities believed was at large in Guatemala to avoid prosecution on murder charges stemming from the 2001 fatal stabbing of his high school classmate was busted in New York Monday morning after being pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving.

Menlo Park is attempting to save the Belle Haven neighborhood from facing any more home foreclosures. Groundbreaking stuff for MP...

Now rain...

The heavy storm, which left hundreds of Coastal residents without power, has come and gone, expected to taper off today. Rain, rain go away.

Now breaking story...

A bicyclist was hit by a dump truck in San Carlos this morning and killed. The driver left the scene.
