In case you thought the budget situation in San Jose was a bad joke, the bad punchline was revealed yesterday. Tracy Seipel at the
Merc has the grim details of the “
ugly budget scenario“… (Not to be left out, Josh Koehn at the
Metro also has details…)
In other bad budget news, the County Board of Supervisors will be making some tough cuts too. It seems
County Exec Jeff Smith has been learning from San Jose’s City Manager Deb Figone…
As if the Santa Clara Valley Water District didn’t already get enough bad press (Golden Spiggot, redistricting, Alviso spending, etc., etc., etc.)… Now, they have a new Board member who has some sort of conflict of interest, but they won’t let anyone know what that conflict of interest is, and it may preclude Brian Schmidt for voting on a bunch of stuff. Note to the Water District: let the
Merc know what the conflict of interest is.
This will not go away…
Here’s an obvious headline from our friends at the
Palo Alto Daily News:
Palo Alto shoots down housing development after neighbors object. Neighbors in Palo Alto object to a housing development? Say it ain’t so! Actually, this gets a little more interesting because it seems like the Palo Alto Unified School District may have expressed interest in the piece of land after the developer applied for permits, poisoning the well with the neighbors and (perhaps) swaying the City Council too?
