This is a crazy story: On Sunday night a Redwood City man, in an attempt to protect his family, grabbed his gun to chase away intruders. He did chase them off his property, but then he also took his gun (wearing only his underwear) and got in his car and chased the two dudes by car. Apparently the two would-be intruders called the police to report a crazy guy in his underwear carrying a gun was chasing their car down the street... The gun-wielding, family-protector may get charged with brandishing a weapon. (But not public indecency?)If that story wasn't today's top story, this would have been: Remember a while back when William Ayre's new defense attorney was trying to get the first jury's contact information... well, that request was denied. (Much to the delight of those first jurors, no doubt...) Of course William Ayres Watch has the details too.
San Mateo decided to keep a public golf course publicly run and run a courier service for itself in order to save money. $560,000 in fact... That savings can help pay for an Assistant City Manager which the Council has agreed to hire as well...
In other City government news: Rich Cline will become the new Mayor of Menlo Park tonight... good night and good luck!
Here is a (very) local issue on the County's docket today: whether or not to close Los Banos Avenue between Park Avenue and Ocean Blvd in Seal Cove...
Michelle Durand (Daily Journal) goes 'rouge' about Sarah Palin going 'rogue'... well played
Ms. Durand, well played...
Don't drive drunk, whoever you are. Even if your car is full of (off-duty) police officers and you are a former officer, you are (hopefully) going to do some time... like this guy. We hear they like police in jail...
The recount that wasn't... Lisa McCaffrey who had called for a recount in the Granada Sanitary District election because her opponent won by 10 votes, called off the recount. That stinks... Kevin Spacey and Al Gore wanted to make sure every vote was counted...
