Morning News Round-Up -- 2.24.10: What do Gilligan and Jerry Hill have in common?

Just sit right back...

Nothing is more fun than a conversation about High Speed Rail and the Peninsula... so Jon Mays in the Daily Journal fills us in on a three hour tour Assemblymember Jerry Hill provided to Curt Pringle the Chair of the California High Speed Rail Authority...


Expect High Speed Rail to be a topic of conversation tonight as the Redwood City Woodside Democratic Club hosts a debate among the three candidates for Ira Ruskin's seat in the State Assembly...

Many, many local, Countywide elections are on the horizon (Slocum, Buffington, the Coroner...) And the County Superintendent's race. Anne Campbell, the Superintedent at the Portola Valley School District threw her hat in the ring yesterday... no other hats have been thrown in yet. Perhaps Ira Ruskin has a hat he'd like to throw in?

The ballots are being tallied in the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District parcel tax election... and things seem to be going well, but it is as close as it could possibly get... 66.7. This will help make recent pink slips null and void...

If you absolutely love smoking and love Foster City parks... you better find a new place to light up. The City of Foster City is considering a smoking ban in its parks. Imagine you live in an apartment in Belmont and love hanging out in Foster City parks and you love to smoke? You'd be screwed...

A long, long time ago, (last May) the Belmont Chamber of Commerce Board President was arrested and charged with molestation of his ex-girlfriend's daughter. He has pleaded not guilty and the trial (jury selection actually) has begun...

But pink slips are coming to San Bruno... 10 slips to be exact.

San Carlos may make it mandatory for businesses to recycle... and the Chamber of Commerce supports it.

The massive Bohannon Project in Menlo Park has hit a City Council delay... instead of this week, the Council will discuss it in April, giving NIMBYs plenty of time to organize...
