Morning News Round-Up -- 2.17.10: Open Carry takes aim...

Watch Dog saw this coming... remember the East Palo Alto Police Detective that posted some funny comments on Facebook about Open Carry gun freaks? Well, the NRA-types are taking aim at the Detective, not literally, but figuratively... This is what we wrote on the 5th of February: This is a story the NRA is going to jump all over.


The County Coroner may get a run for his money this June from someone who used to work in the office. Begging the obvious question, why is the Coroner elected in the first place? Of all the positions in the County, don't we want the Coroner to be highly trained and non-political? Just asking... In case you are wondering, we found this nugget from the California State Association of Counties: "All 58 counties in California have a Sheriff's Department and 41 of those counties also provide for the Sheriff to assume the duties of the Coroner."

And as the Coroner is being challenged, Jon Mays at the Daily Journal chimes in with a piece about how the mood of the public is one of unrest...

Like unrest in the race for Slocum's office... perhaps Ira Ruskin wants into the Assessor-Clerk-Recorder's office? That makes Supervisor Mark Church very, very uneasy... (Thank you Bruce.)

There is unrest in San Bruno certainly, that's because the string of home robberies in continuing... there is a meeting tonight to talk about it at the John Muir Elementary School. But lock your house before you go...

There hasn't been a story about Belmont schools, traffic, and crazy parents for a while. Luckily,a neighbor near Central Elementary School in Belmont gave the Daily Journal an ear-full...

Two stories of escape and survival: three kids escaped a house fire in Atherton and a man was struck by a train and survived...

Gilead Sciences got the approval for expansion yesterday by the Foster City City Council. We like writing the word City twice to describe the Foster City City Council, but the Daily Journal calls it the Foster City Council... just thought you'd be interested...

Pacifica Riptide is still pounding away on Pacifica's version of the Garbage Saga... this time, from a small business perspective.
