LAKE TAHOE, Cal. – It’s time to get summer started.

The event is co-hosted by the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) and the League to Save Lake Tahoe (League) in celebration of National Trails Day, an annual opportunity to give back to local trails, protect the environment, and improve access for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors.

Akin to a student who has just taken their first economics class, Councilmember Robbins completely misses the mark in his latest op-ed published in the Tahoe Daily Tribune entitled “Change is needed in Tahoe.” He laments the changes in local demographics, business diversity, and housing affordability in the last 25 years, diagnoses these changes as a "Problem That Must Be Solved," and then goes on to call out the shadowy forces that seek to thwart his heroism.

TAHOMA, Calif. – For the past five decades, the Sierra State Parks Foundation has demonstrated unwavering commitment by partnering with California State Parks to address critical needs and projects through private philanthropy, volunteerism, and strong partnerships. This ongoing collaboration ensures that the local California Lake Tahoe – Donner Lake parks continue to benefit the community and visitors not only today but also for generations to come.

Now that the vacancy tax has been qualified for the November ballot, the City council is faced with the arduous task of trying to figure out how to make it all work. A difficult task at best and no doubt met with different opinions on what is a fair balance. A blanket policy is certainly not the answer, and I would suggest that there must be certain exemptions allowed if this initiative does indeed pass. I would like to suggest for consideration the following. Others may have additional issues to declare.
