Letter: The Real David Jinkens
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/09/2024 - 6:00am
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 - 5:01am
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.
