Here’s a (Daily Journal) headline Supervisor Pine can get behind, $500k in opposition or not: All ballots counted, car tax wins… Now the Supervisors can finally start spending that money!
We mentioned earlier in the week that it is budget time in the County… Redwood City = Surplus, Foster City = Deficit, and today, Millbrae = Surplus… and this: (from Riptide) Pacifica bonds downgraded due to financial imbalance… Oops. Is Pacifica the next Half Moon Bay?
To the blogs…
Bruce Balshone at the PP Examiner, recounts the races from last week.
In case you are interested, the Burlingame Voice looks at B’game Grocery History. A topic that everyone should know about…

From San Bruno to Menlo Park, where Jason Green at the
Daily News let’s us know that Membrane Technology and Research, where the deadly explosion happened last week “
had no record of safety violations“…
The latest in a string of politicians in San Francisco to recommend what should be done with Sharp Park Golf Course stepped forward yesterday. Supervisor (and Mayoral Candidate)
John Avalos has a plan to transfer Sharp Park to the National Park Service. Thank you Mr. Avalos, now please, head back to your campaign headquarters and try to make some headway against all the candidates in front of you and leave Sharp Park alone. And as we’ve asked before of other San Francisco politicians (like Ross Mirkirimi): Have you ever been to the Sharp Park Golf Course?
To some political news…
That’s it folks…

If there wasn’t enough proof that the California public school system was in a serious state of decline (think shorter school years, increased UC and Cal State fees, overcrowded Community Colleges, increased class sizes, etc., etc.) the Redwood City School District is
looking to hike the price of their student meals…

We’ll start Coastside today where a new piece of the Coastal Trail will be ribbon-cut…
HMB Review has the story. Congrats to everyone involved and happy trailing.
Michelle Durand’s Off the Beat in the
Daily Journal grabbed our attention this morning: She gives us some details about Congresswoman Jackie Speier’s efforts to do away with
commemorative coins that nobody wants… Funny. Informative. Interesting. Are you listening San Carlos?
The
County Times must think
this is the most important story in the world, because when we logged in this morning, it was posted twice…

While San Carlos and Belmont may not see eye-to-eye on somethings, like fire departments for instance, they do seem to see eye-to-eye on “massage” parlors.
San Carlos may ban new “massage” parlors. We’ll see if this story has a happy ending…
Never a dull week in Atherton. First we learned of a possible strike, now we learn the
Police Chief announced his retirement… What’s next? A complete outsourcing of two Town departments?
To the
Burlingame Voice, where the author is pulling a Sarah Palin by questioning the MSM (Main Stream Media)… Specifically, they are calling out the aforementioned Joshua Melvin about how he found out about the lawsuit
filed against Burlingame’s Vice Mayor Jerry Deal. We’ll answer for Mr. Melvin: None of your damn business…
Have a good weekend folks…

A simple headline in the
Merc belies how complicated the politics (and policy) behind the San Jose City Council decisions were yesterday:
San Jose City Council approves mayor’s budget… The budget passed 7-4. Joining the obvious nay-voters (Ash Kalra, Kansen Chu, and Xavier Campos) was Councilmember Pete Constant who threw a dais-based hissy fit when his budget proposal failed because he couldn’t get one of the other 10 Councilmembers of the Council to give him a second… We doubt the politics are over on this one, but maybe for the next 24 hours people can rest… Oh, and before it all went down the
City and the San Jose Police Officers’ Association agreed on a deal…
The
Mercury News Editorial Board took a break from the City of San Jose budget battle Editorials to focus on education. Specifically, supporting a proposal by Rocketship Education to open 20 (that’s not a typo) schools in
Silicon Valley by 2018. School District Board members are freaking out because they can’t compete with Rocketship’s results… so tonight’s County Board of Education meeting should be interesting. (Joe DiSalvo wrote on the same topic on
San Jose Inside this week…)
A teacher at a private school (Stratford) in San Jose was
arrested for (alleged) molestation. Get ready for the cable news channels to arrive soon because this is a 28 year old woman who was arrested…
Mary Kay, are you still around?
Oh, and for all of you that think the NHL season is over when the Sharks choke in the playoffs… Game 7 tonight: Bruins @ Canucks…
