Morning News Round-Up -- 3.18.10: When is an election not an election?

Watch Dog loves politics, but when Countywide offices finally become open, and people still run unopposed, that's disheartening, and frankly a little anti-democratic. So, here are some announcements: The new District Attorney will be Steve Wagstaffe. The new Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder will be Mark Church. The new County Superintendent will be Anne Campbell. Zzzzz...

Speaking of zzzzz, another public outreach meeting in San Mateo about High-Speed Rail... this time, property owners expressed concern about construction.

When two cities merge their police departments (or consider it), like Burlingame and San Mateo are about to do, there is usually some sort of shake up. That's why San Mateo Deputy Police Chief Mike Callagy will be moving his office to Burlingame to be the "interim" police chief there...

Speaking of new jobs... James Lianides has been named the new Superintendent of the Sequoia Union High School District (to do battle with Summit and Everest...) In a sign that newspapers are all losing their mojo, the Almanac just reprinted the press release from the School District...
