Daily Fetch 1.28.11: San Mateo County lands a big fish (maybe)

From San Bruno:
- The good folks at the California Public Utilities Commission, facing criticism that they are too cozy with the utilities they regulate, decided to start a foundation largely funded by said utilities. Assemblymember Jerry Hill thinks that is about the dumbest idea ever…

There will be (another) Save Caltrain-type summit this weekend. If you didn’t get your fill last week, this weekend is your chance…
Woodside will start looking for a new Town Manager as Susan George announced she’ll step down (in 12 months)… Nothing from COWs of Woodside on this topic yet…
That’s all for now…
