Column: Take Care of Tahoe This Summer
Submitted by paula on Thu, 06/20/2024 - 8:45pm
Summer is a magnificent time of year in Tahoe. Longer days, near-perfect temperatures, and Tahoe’s lush environment have brought about a summer migration for millennia. As the snow melted every year, the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, Lake Tahoe’s original and current stewards, would return to the center of their homelands, as much for spiritual fulfillment as sustenance. In fact, travel is intrinsic to human nature. From nomadic hunter-gatherers to people in search of knowledge, new relationships, and escape, getting away is something we have always done.

Letter: Those pushing for vacancy tax are using a political sleight of hand
Submitted by paula on Wed, 06/19/2024 - 7:56pm
Dear Editor: Let's keep the main thing the main thing. Those pushing for the Vacancy Tax are doing a political sleight of hand. Our rogue council member, politician, Scott Robbins, and his minions, Nick Speal and Amelia Richmond, have cherry-picked parts of a hastily prepared report and are trying to drag us into the weeds by confusing the issue. They are crowing about self-manufactured statistics using bad math to make their points. It’s a very cagey tactic these city council wannabes are using to suck us into arguing statistics, math, and outcomes.
