Here's something... Burlingame and its police department have started the long road toward pension reform. From the County Times: "Police sergeants and captains in Burlingame have agreed to pay freezes through the end of the year and are ready to cut retiree benefits, the first union contract that includes pension reform for a city struggling to deal with escalating employee costs..." Menlo Park, and everyone else, are you reading this?
If you have twenty minutes, perhaps you should take a look at videos put together by the candidates for County Supervisor (Rich Gordon's seat)... they are on Coastsider and a bunch of other places...
If you are going to build in Belmont, you are going to need to build it green. Trying to become the Emerald City that many in Belmont already view themselves as, the City Council adopted a green building ordinance...
This has been on Watch Dog before, but the San Mateo County Times gets in on the Garbage Saga II unraveling in Pacifica, where Lionel Emde is suing the City of Pacifica over the rate hike tied to Recology's takeover of Coastside Scavenger. We might all want to care about this because Recology is taking over on this side of the hill too starting next year...
