Update, 6:00pm, June 27th, 2009: Response from Kate Quick, President of the Alameda League of Women Voters: Well, there is some editorializing and a bit of opinion in Bill’s statement. But essentially, the dialogue did take place, and Lena did say that due to some changes in the conditions now in discussions with the Navy, [...] Here it is folks, your regularly scheduled, perennial, local school district funding crisis!

SunCal may be violating New Mexico state lobbyist laws with their TV ads and highway billboards pushing legislators to approve over $400 million in state tax-increment financing to subsidize [...] A reader and Porsche owner tipped us off to this upcoming event at Alameda Point, on the old airfield – Porsche Club of America autocross racing at Alameda Point. The Porsche Club Golden Gate Region proudly announces on their website that: We are excited to see our first 2009 autocross coming together. As planned, it [...] |
