SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The City of South Lake Tahoe, in collaboration with a local planning team, is creating an area plan that fosters a more defined sense of place in central South Lake Tahoe. Through outreach efforts this summer and fall, including stakeholder meetings, open houses, and public hearings, community members have shared with staff a clear vision of what this area should become.

Dear Editor: First of all, for someone who is running for City Council - he should know the name of the subdivision where he lives. He said he lives in “Sierra Tract.” (See his letter to the editor here) The misnomer name of that subdivision was corrected officially by former City Manager, Nancy Kerry. It was a MISTAKE.

Fact Checking the No on N Misinformation

South Lake Tahoe voters have an important decision on the ballot this week as they weigh the merits of Measure N. While some have already voted, others have told us they’re still trying to decide how to vote. So with that in mind, we want to fact check some of the information in the flyers that have been inundating residents for the past three months. South Lake Tahoe voters deserve to be making informed decisions this election season based on fact-checked information and cited sources.
