Ok all you loyal readers and fans, Watch Dog San Mateo is back. We took a few weeks off (due to a forced furlough from Failing Company X). By some miracle (bail out money) the company survived into 2010 -- so we are back at "work"...
And we'll start the new year with this... the San Mateo Postmaster Carol Conroy is retiring. Rain, nor sleet, etc., etc. Thank you Carol.
One thing Ms. Conroy won't miss is the abundance of campaign mail come campaign time... which is exactly what you are about to see if a new intiiative makes it to the ballot to lower the threshold to pass school parcel taxes to 55 percent.
And while Watch Dog has been away, PP Examiner took the holiday weeks to type this up about how the San Mateo County Supervisors are "stacking the deck against reform" with their appointed "Charter Review Commission"
Sue Lempert talks school crossings and walking to school in her Daily Journal column today...
226 folks got nabbed at drunk driving check points throughout the Bay Area this New Year's weekend... safety first people, that's what Watch Dog preaches...
Menlo Park is taking action on its plan to buy foreclosed homes to save neighborhoods...
And on the other end of the spectrum in Menlo Park, they are debating lawn sizes...
One can assume that human remains weren't one of the things an unlucky hiker thought he would find in the El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space over the holiday week. Yikes.
We'll end on a sad note: Bud Harrison died. He was the former Mayor of Burlingame. We'll let others write a fitting farewell because we didn't know the man, but he sounds like one helluva guy.
