Today's top story (in Watch Dog's eyes) comes from the Half Moon Bay Review and the County Times: Agencies meet to 'debrief' over Mavericks. Perhaps that would have been a good group to get together to pre-brief before folks got washed off the beach...
Coastsider has something to say on the subject too: "...the endless loop of passing the buck explains a lot about the organizational structure of the Mavericks Surf Contest..."
High-Speed Rail a.k.a. Enemy Number One is always on the mind of San Mateo County train-track cities. Belmont is especially concerned and is (probably) setting aside some money for some lobbyists... it seems like a good use of public funds to fight something a majority of Belmontians voted for.
The good folks at the Service Employees International Union and the City of Menlo Park have reach an "impasse" in their contract talks. Next stop, a State mediator and some Extra Strength Excedrin...
Speaking of employees and government agencies...
There are layoffs coming to Millbrae Elementary School District because of a $2.2 million budget shortfall...
The Community College District is looking at $7 million in cuts...
Don't fret though, sometimes cuts don't always pan out... in the Redwood City Elementary School District, four previously axed positions may be reinstated.
You may remember that Atherton had a community meeting last night with the City Manager and the Police Chief to hear from the community. Well, 60 folks apparently showed up (which is a lot in Atherton) and the City Manager and the Police Chief heard from a bunch of folks... After hearing from the "community" we would bet that the City Manager and the Police Chief would like to never, ever do this again...
