Morning News Round-Up -- 5.19.10: Post-Peloton Wednesday...


A good old-fashion debate happened this week between DMB (the folks that would build the Salt Pond development in Redwood City) and Save the Bay (who find the development atrocious)... the forum was in front of the Beresford-Hillsdale Neighborhood Association in San Mateo... Jobs versus Environment, Housing versus Environment, etc., etc.

The psych unit (alleged) sexual batterer pleaded not guilty yesterday...

Yesterday there was a story about how Menlo Park was pissed about higher rates for garbage collection... today Menlo Park is pissed (but supporting) higher water rates, which the City Council is raising by more than 15 percent a year for the next several years. Tomorrow there will be a story about how folks in Menlo Park don't like High-Speed Rail... What's next? A former City Council member who is unhappy about pension costs in the city?

Dude. Jon Mays at the Daily Journal gives us his two-cents about medical versus recreational marijuana use and the November ballot measure. It does not say that recreational use is way more fun... unfortunately.

What is it with San Mateo County-based sausage companies? Remember last year Columbus had a fire? Well, Sunday there was a fire at Marcel & Henri Charcuterie Francaise in South San Francisco. Who knew making sausage was so flammable...
