Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 05/25/2024 - 9:41am
Now that the vacancy tax has been qualified for the November ballot, the City council is faced with the arduous task of trying to figure out how to make it all work. A difficult task at best and no doubt met with different opinions on what is a fair balance. A blanket policy is certainly not the answer, and I would suggest that there must be certain exemptions allowed if this initiative does indeed pass. I would like to suggest for consideration the following. Others may have additional issues to declare.
Small bear cub abandoned at Bear League offices at Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Fri, 05/24/2024 - 9:04pm

The cub was about seven pounds, and almost three months old.
With similarities to the biblical Moses who was placed in a basket and floated down the Nile River to escape death, the bear Moses would have certainly faced death if it was left in the wild alone, without its mother.
