Letter: Measure C needs to be rewritten, Vote No
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 10/31/2017 - 2:50pm
Event Date:
October 31, 2017 (All day) As it stands right now, any tax money collected goes to the General Fund where it can be disbursed as the city sees fit regardless what it is ear. That's why this Measure C is a good tax (if there is a good tax), because it is a specific fund that cannot be used for anything but what it's voted on.
Specifically this started as a way to keep CalPERS from robbing the general fund for unfunded pensions and liabilities. The problem is it's not enough and everyone knows it, even the authors.

Opinion: Rebuttal to SassTalk
Submitted by paula on Mon, 10/09/2017 - 2:52pm
The following is a letter received concerning the Sass Talk published on October 7:
I hate to waste my time, but I cannot let the erroneous propaganda put out by the Emperor of City Hall go unrebutted. The City will not let go of this “nuisance” problem as it diverts focus on the dismal road conditions that the City has neglected for years. Also, City management has totally failed to provide a reliable snow removal system as we experienced last winter.
Opinion: Who owns the 'All Year Playground?'
Submitted by paula on Mon, 09/18/2017 - 10:21pm
I read with great interest Mayor Sass’s recent editorial of how he and Wendy David have been living, sleeping, and eating the VHR issue for over 2 years. I internalized these words and reflected how we, as responsible vacation home rental managers, have been dealing with inept City Councils and City Management for over 12 years.
