Letter: Prop 46 is Manipulative to Voters
Submitted by paula on Thu, 10/23/2014 - 11:23pmCalifornia Proposition 46 is costly and deceiving to voters.

I have been a physician in South Lake Tahoe for over 34 years and I’m asking our voters and patients to take a closer look; Prop 46 just doesn’t add up.

Kingsbury Grade Closing to Through Traffic in May, September and October
Submitted by paula on Thu, 02/27/2014 - 1:27am
A year and a half road construction project will result in the closure of Kingsbury Grade for almost 75 days this year and more in 2015. Since this will have an impact on local businesses, residents and commuters, a forum was held on Wednesday in order to inform the community about the impact.
A full house was on hand in the TahoeChamber conference room to listen to representatives from Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Tahoe Transportation District (TTD) and the road construction company.
