Morning News Round-Up -- 5.5.10: Margaritas all around...

DAs must disclose the criminal history of police officers who testify in court to defense attorneys. This has all come to light in San Francisco, which caused this story to be written in San Mateo County... in San Mateo County, the number of officers with "...histories of crime or professional misconduct..." numbers about a dozen...

Apparently Foster City is better off than many of her neighbors financially. While nearly all workers in every city are forgoing raises, many are also getting their beneifts cut... not in FC. Unionized workers will be getting their health benefits increased over the next three years. It is just a matter of time before FC regrets this decision...

The Menlo Park City Schools and Portola Valley School District got their wish with their all mail-in ballot election this week. Both parcel taxes passed... MPCSD with 76 percent of the vote and PVSD with 78 percent. Kudos all around... the lawn signs worked!

You will no longer have to hold it in (or pee outside) at Mirada Surf Trail. That's because the Board of Supervisors accepted a piece of land from the Peninsula Open Space Trust for bathrooms (and parking)...

This should be fun... the Pacifica School Board will discuss budget cuts tonight.

The Burlingame Voice continues their crusade against High-Speed Rail with part 14 of their series. Part 14?!

Morning News Round-Up -- 5.4.10: Buy your Corona today...

If you have been sitting on your duff waiting to return the ballot you have in your house for your School Districts' parcel tax, please return it... well, if you are going to vote yes, please return it... (Menlo Park City School District and Portola Valley School District folks, that means you...)

Here's some good news, even if it is years off. One more lane in each direction of 101 between Marsh Road and Embarcadero Road... they will be "exit only" lanes, but still, that might help a little.

Pink slips - check. Fewer school days - check (perhaps)... Redwood City School District is having a tough go of it.

Big sewer rate hikes coming to Half Moon Bay...

Governor Schwarzenegger had a plan to fund parks with revenues from off shore oil drilling... um, not such a hot idea now... Because Pacifica and Half Moon Bay look much better with no oil spills on their shore.
