It has been a big few days for Santa Clara County soon-to-be-based professional sports teams… Last week, the Earthquakes’ new stadium was approved by the San Jose Planning Commission… and then later this week:
The Santa Clara City Council will approve a lease agreement for the stadium that will generate revenue for the City, but also require construction to begin before July 4th-ish…
San Jose is preparing to approve road work to connect Coleman Avenue to Cisco Field… Note to Major League Baseball: When the City of San Jose moves faster than you do, you have a big, big problem…
And back to #pensiongate…
The Merc Editorial Board sets the stage for what will be a very, very interesting week inside San Jose City Hall… their take? Talking is good…
This isn’t so much #pensiongate as pension payment… the San Jose City Council will be talking new taxes on Tuesday. That should be fun.
Internal Affairs lets us know that someone is trying to get San Jose residents to call the San Jose City Council to have them voice their concerns over the pension reform measure to be voted on soon… except whomever is planning this advocacy effort called Rose Herrera at home to get Rose Herrera at home to call Rose Herrera at work.
Not to be left out the fun, the City of Palo Alto declared an impasse with their Police Officers union…
We don’t really know what to make of this story, which we found in the San Mateo County Daily Journal… “…San Jose police Friday said actor Ashton Kutcher was present at child pornography raids in Marin County Thursday but did not enter any residences and was not involved in enforcement actions…”
We’d be little more impressed if Ashton Kutcher was riding along when this arrest was made: Hells Angel arrested in killing of fellow gang member… You remember the stories…
