Morning News Round-Up -- 1.20.10: lights at M-A... the sky is falling!

Oh man, this is going to be really great. The Sequoia Union High School District is going to consider putting lights on the football field at Menlo-Atherton High School. Heather Murtagh covers the story for the Daily Journal, but she didn't mention that this idea for lights at M-A may cause a full-scale riot in the Lindenwood neighborhood of Atherton where folks like their enclave exactly the way it was in 1945... seriously.

In other Atherton school news, the Principal at Las Lomitas Elementary School is leaving after 10 years. His statement about why he is leaving is pretty funny, but has a bit negativity to it... check it out. And the Las Lomitas Elementary School District teachers just penned a new agreement as one of the principals packs his bags...

Here is something new and different: the State of California is actually paying back some of the money they stole from local governments. The County got $10.5 million back last week. Do you have to say thank you when someone (or the State) returns something they stole?

The State taketh (and giveth back) but the tough times aren't going anywhere. Burlingame is still cutting services and possibly employees...

San Carlos could see a 'transit village' spring up around its train station. This is a great idea, but the funniest part of the story is how the Daily Journal's Michelle Durand categorizes the current station as an "...underwhelming gateway of San Carlos..." We thought her funny columns ran on Tuesdays and Thursdays...

Pacifica Riptide is monitoring the stormy weather and its impacts coastside, including the Esplanade Apartments.
