We never came back for a post yesterday, apologies to everyone...
Oh my... Matier & Ross in the Chronicle have this tidbit: Congresswoman Jackie Speier is thinking about a run for Attorney General of California this year. Imagine the local ramifications of that? It would be a mad-dash, scramble, free-for-all. Hill? Yee? Ruskin? Watch Dog? Gavin Newsom?
This isn't getting top billing in any of the papers or on Watch Dog, but it is perhaps the most important story of the day, at least for the long-term. South San Francisco is considering a two-tier retirement system for public employees. Is this the shot heard round the (local government) world?
The County may have found the most popular thing to tax you on... the hospital. And if they are going to tax you, they better identify some cuts first -- which they did and they described them as "bold"... good timing.
The Belmont/San Carlos war of words (and dollars) about who is to pay what for the Fire Protection District continued with some action. Belmont rejected San Carlos' plan. San Carlos thinks Belmont should pay more, Belmont doesn't agree. The fun squabble continues... In response to San Carlos' unhappiness, Belmont Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach said these fighting words: “If San Carlos wants to go somewhere else, they can.... We subsidized them for 20 years.” She did not say: "And I will meet them on any street corner and kick their scrawny little San Carlos asses too..."
The Daily Journal's Jon Mays rocks. He outs the DMB Saltworks developers for political tactics trying to embarass the Menlo Park City Council's decision to oppose the DMB development. Mays ends with this: "...By engaging in subterfuge and ripping reputations, the argument for the development loses its focus..."
Speaking of the salt flats. The Redwood City Council will accept a report that says that the development of 12,000 homes and their impact won't have any "insurmountable issues" related to traffic or water or other stuff.
Cliffside engineering? Federal funds to rebuild? Disaster area? If it is raining, we are talking about Pacifica...
The Skyline College shooting suspect was convicted yesterday of possessing a gun in public as part of a plea deal. 3 years probation and he can't go to campus again... perhaps the dude is getting his application ready for CSM?
