Tahoe grading and digging season ends October 15
Submitted by paula on Fri, 10/11/2024 - 6:05pm
LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. - The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is reminding residents and contractors that the annual grading and digging season for permitted projects will end on Tuesday, October 15. All construction sites must be winterized through the wettest part of the year to protect Lake Tahoe’s famed water clarity. Grading season in the Tahoe Basin runs from May 1 to October 15 every year.
The long-standing requirement helps prevent sediment from washing into stormwater systems and the lake and prevents soil compaction and disturbance during the wettest months.

Submitted by paula on Fri, 10/11/2024 - 1:55pm

Letter: I am with David Jinkens
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/09/2024 - 4:41pm
I would vote for David Jinkens if I could. The choice is clear as a 52-year resident, father of two, business owner for 40 years, former STPUD director (89to93), and an involved citizen. In 2007 the world was going through a great recession, so things were beyond the reach of the city council and city manager. I don't know about Rachel C. (in an opinion piece on Wednesday) but I went through eminent domain in 1989 and I wish David Jinkens was the city manager then.
I could use all the noun modifiers in the dictionary to describe Dave, but he is the best choice for the city council.

Letter: The Real David Jinkens
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/09/2024 - 7:00am
As a longtime resident of South Lake Tahoe, I find it very concerning that former city manager David Jinkens is running for City Council.
During this campaign, David Jinkens has continually touted his experience as a city manager. He has stated that his experience is one of the reasons the voters should elect him. However, he rarely shares any tangible accomplishments during this time. And our local media seems to have failed to ask about this same experience. Let’s take a closer look at the experience David Jinkens thinks deserves your vote.

Letter: Support Measure U and Proposition 13
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/09/2024 - 6:01am
When considering your vote on Measure U, please remember how we benefit from Proposition 13. What does the 1978 California property tax limitation law have to do with our local school facility bond measure? Prop 13 keeps our taxes lower by limiting residential property tax assessment to one percent of the actual purchase price and then keeping annual tax increases at two percent per year after that. Our local property taxes on average are much lower than other states around the country.

Not because of his beliefs or ideas on what he thinks is best for our kids, but because by his own admission at recent debates and legal proceedings, he simply doesn’t have the time that is required of a trustee to perform the business of the DCSD.
