Morning News Round-Up -- 5.7.10: Matt Grocott?

The Supervisorial candidates get a long, long, long write up in the Daily Journal in their own words. Which is not nearly as interesting as the Daily Journal's endorsement of... drum roll please... Matt Grocott. (No joke.)

There is a brewing issue on the release (or non-release) the search warrant used to search the tech-writer who had the lifted iPod... the press wants to see the search warrant and prosecutors don't want them (or us) to...

Anti-High-Speed Rail folks have a new picture for the center of their dart board as a new CEO was named... Roelof van Ark... who will make $375,000, which seems low considering all the NIMBY meetings this guy is going to have to sit through up and down the Peninsula...


We wonder if Mr. van Ark can help Caltrain's bottom line... as the bottom line gets more and more screwed up...

It is well-known that East Palo Alto Police Chief Ron Davis wants out of town... he is in the running for the Seattle gig, but he seems to be out of the running for New Orleans.

High schoolers will need to find another place to buy booze other than the Sharon Heights Safeway... they won't be able to buy at the Rock of Gibraltor or the Chevron on Alameda de las Pulgas either... these were the places recently busted. Thank goodness Watch Dog just turned 21.

We know that the Redwood City School District is having a tough time and issued pink slips... well, so are their cousins at City Hall... Redwood City may cut 40 positions.

The Garbage Saga may be closed to over on this side of the hill, but it is just getting started in Pacifica. They have a new garbage hauler/recycling company, and new rates to boot. But Lionel Emde, a Pacifica resident, filed a lawsuit that said the new rates didn't get the full airing and notice of the public... Let's call this, Garbage Saga II...
