$1.65 over an almost 4 year contract. 55 cents a year for three years and $1 in the final year.
In wages alone, housekeepers will see a 21 percent raise, from $12.70 to $15.35 an hour. A $1 per hour wage increase in the last year of the contract equals the largest pay raise in Local 483 history.
For sale it seems. The exact plan some had was to turn the Mvsevm into another art gallery.
local historian Esther Trosow said she was “flabbergasted” when she went into the store at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and discovered they were selling monarchs — dead ones.
“It’s one thing to have monarchs on display in the museum” as part of an exhibit, Trosow said. “In fact, the museum sorely needs an adequate monarch exhibit. It’s another thing to have specimens displayed as baubles in the gift shop.”
The framed display was introduced after a major renovation and overhaul of the museum store, which included abandoning the sale of cheap toys in favor of better quality items and crafts from local artists.
Hints at what a plastic bag ban would accomplish.
In P.G., there hasn’t been much enforcement in the three years its polystyrene ban has been in effect. But the city recently sent a warning letter to its 56 restaurants, putting them on notice that the city is now taking a closer look.?
“We’ve not had a code enforcement officer until this year,” explains Environmental Programs Manager Sarah Hardgrave. “Now we have more resources for follow-up.”?
I think curfews are more to give cops a reason to stop bad behavior. No one is out hunting for kids out late.
Monterey, Salinas and Marina prohibit residents 18 and younger from being out in public after 11p.m. In Carmel, Pacific Grove, Seaside and King City, the witching hour is 10 p.m.
Sitting on a bench on Alvarado Street at 10:30 one recent night, Rachel Gillian, 14, of Monterey, said she was aware of the law. Had she crossed the border into Pacific Grove, she would have been breaking curfew.

Code violation. Lets all call this twit and make him clean all the news stands and other public property defaced with this and all other advertising.
Normal delays. But article does mention that the former P.G. Ron’s Liquors clerk is a guest of the former P.G. Police Chief’s jail, and sadly has not made it to the ‘Big House’ yet.
(Judge) Grover had to postpone the discussion because of jury selection in another case and asked public defender Michelle Wouden and deputy district attorney Mike Breeden to return at 8:30 a.m. June 17 for arguments
Pollacci, who has been in county jail since receiving an eight-year prison sentence after a jury found him guilty of rape last summer, appeared in court briefly Wednesday afternoon
And lawsuits have been filed against the Pollaccis and the liquor stores, which coincidentally are in escrow
Prosecutor Michael Breeden did not get all he asked for Friday. Judge Adrienne Grover, who was recently assigned to the case, said the account of one woman who says she was kidnapped from her home by Pollacci and another man, taken to the Carmel River and raped 31 years ago is too dissimilar to the other women’s stories and too damaging to Pollacci to be told to his new jury.
According to statements in court, one of the women who has yet to tell her story publicly maintains she met Pollacci when she bought a bottle of water at Ron’s Liquors and told him she was going to the beach to study. She told investigators Pollacci later found her on the beach south of Asilomar, walked her to her car and raped her in the parking lot.
Single use shopping bag or (horrors!!) styrofoam?

Sarah Hardgrave, another substainable kook that thinks taxes will change behavior. Taxing me even more on safe, clean packaging from stores makes me change my mind to shop in Sand City.
Senior city planner Sarah Hardgrave, environmental programs manager for the city, sought authorization to prepare a report about alternatives that would allow the city to regulate single-use carryout bags — paper as well as plastic.
Such regulation could encourage shoppers to bring their own reusable bags.
Residents cited the environmental harm reportedly caused by bags when they wash into Monterey Bay and are eaten by fish and other sea life.
Europeans routinely bring their own shopping bags to stores, said resident Inge Larritzen Dumer.
Yes, and Europeans urinate in the street.
Residents Marciel Price and Terry O’Connell argued that reusable cloth bags can pose a health hazard.
“Different people have different sanitary standards,” O’Connell said.
Merchandise carried in reusable bags often contains “germs, pesticides, all kinds of stuff,” Price said, adding that she wouldn’t want to deal with leaking packaged meats in a cloth bag.
Has anyone actually been to the Maritime Museum then or now? I always felt that the history of Monterey could not be boxed in by four walls and a roof when the history is all out in the open. Visit the adobes, see the San Carlos Cathedral, check out Colton Hall. What kind of relevant insight would I get at a book signing or a concert?
Rocky internal goings-on have led to increased scrutiny from the city about whether the lease terms — which require a maritime and history center to be open nearly year-round — are being fulfilled.
“The City Council has a great concern about the long-term financial stability,” Meurer said.
Those sentiments ratcheted up again this week with the resignation of executive director John Bailey and the circulation of an anonymous email accusing current board president Tom Hood and others of steering museum work and contracts to friends.
Hood sounded optimistic about the museum’s future. He said the association has about $500,000 in cash on hand, and an upcoming events calendar with lectures, a book signing and, maybe, a concert.
“We have a head of steam going forward,” he said.
