Morning News Round-Up -- 4.29.10: French Quarter, Pike Place Market, or Ikea?

Earlier in the week we learned that the East Palo Alto Police Chief might be packing his bags for Seattle. Today we learn that he might actually need warmer clothes because he might be headed for New Orleans. New Orleans or Seattle... Hurricanes (the drink) or Coffee...
The French Quarter or Pike Place Market... or any of these things and Ikea... Seriously, how bad does this guy want out?

Is he (competent) or isn't he? That's the question that still needs to be answered in the retrial of William Ayres... and it will be decided in June because the second doctor that needed to evaluate William Ayres couldn't do it in time to reach the deadline yesterday... Our friends at William Ayres Watch are on it...

If Caltrain is going to survive these tough economic times, which would be good for the Peninsula, it may only happen thanks to the folks at the California High-Speed Rail Authority... We love this idea for the pure love of irony...

Speaking of tough times, the breakup of the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department will cause a spike in overtime, according to the Fire Chief. That will be great for everyone's budget...

San Bruno is losing some staff too, but not to New Orleans or Seattle... but to budget cuts in order to balance the f-ed up budget...

Oh Atherton, you can never really get it right, can you? Salaries/ benefits are going up, even as everything is going to hell in a hand-basket. But what else would you expect?

The Burlingame Elementary School District might buy back a school site they previously sold to meet rising enrollment demand (and assuage an angry parent community who does not want huge classrooms...) That seems like a good way to spend money -- sell land then buy it back...

The most awkwardly worded, yet informative, headline of the day goes to the Daily News: Menlo Park pre-school supervisor to retire following arrest for allegedly annoying teen girl... What else do you need to know?
