Morning News Round-up --12.09.09: A No-Mavericks Wednesday

Black ice and low visibility = bad driving conditions... along portions of 280 from Highway 92 in San Mateo to Larkspur Drive in Burlingame. It's that damn global warming again, no doubt.

If you think you are cold...be thankful you are not a bird.

New taxes, more taxes, new taxes… and San Mateo County Community College District doesn’t want to be the exception.

And here is one reason why we always need new taxes…

When it comes to health care reform, Washington’s Senate Dems might not get it, but San Mateo County does?

A 25-year-old man was stabbed outside a Happy Donuts in Redwood City. Not so happy after all.

Here is one from the archives: Bay Area gas prices plunge 11 cents. 'Tis the (oil) season.

Which brings us to our next point: Portola Valley ranks seventh of the 10 communities with the largest residential consumption of energy per household in the service area of Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. Figures.

And still, no Mavericks today…It's too cold, people.

Bruce is back... and he gives us more Sharp Park Golf Course details to chew on.

Redwood City selected Jeff Ira as mayor. Again. And here is what he had to say about that last night: “What you can do for Redwood City?” Already passing the buck, Jeff?

Morning News Round-up --9.28.09: Raccoon killers are on the loose

Pacifica installed cigarette receptacles at local beaches, hoping to curb butt pollution. Isn’t it illegal to smoke on state beaches anyway?

One final tweak and San Mateo County is ready to sign off on its new budget… and it’s not pretty.

San Bruno mayoral hopeful Jim Ruane stopped by the Daily Journal office to explain how he would tackle some of the city’s biggest issues. His opponent, Miguel Araujo, was a no-show. Hmmmm.

A new study sheds light on some old news: low-income students need better access to preschool. Insert health care reform plug here_____.

The Guv announced he won’t close state parks after all but he will cut hours of operations at some parks. How many hours exactly?

East Palo Alto is on its way to having a new soccer and rugby field. Sweet!

Giovanni Orlando Digiacomo Mary Stuart were arrested on charges of embezzling more than $13,000 from an 81-year-old Menlo Park woman. Two words: Elder. Abuse.

And finally some good news for the news industry: Palo Alto Weekly moves to its new headquarters. A shiny, green building.

Raccoon killers are on the loose in Half Moon Bay. Seriously?
