Tom Pollacci’s Other Victims Stepping Forward?

Posted on by

Tom Pollacci

Deputy district attorney Cristina Johnson had asked the judge to up the bail to $1 million, citing public safety issues.

Since Pollacci’s arrest in early March hit the media, Johnson said, she had heard from new victims every day. “I received reports from eight different agencies, and calls from women who had been victims themselves or pointed to other women who had been victims,” she said.

Scott agreed but imposed several conditions of bail on Pollacci. He must remain at home, and may be subject to electronic monitoring, though he’ll be allowed to leave the Pebble Beach house of his parents to meet with his lawyers.

This grown man lives with his parents? OK, couple this with the other statement by his own defense team:

Pollacci was accompanied to his arraignment Tuesday by defense investigator Richard Lee, who wrote a presentence report in the 1993 case describing Pollacci as a spoiled, self-centered man who was guilty of being presumptuous and using poor judgment, but who did not realize he was having sex without consent. According to the report, Pollacci told Lee that he had come to realize through therapy that he never learned any “boundaries” in his life.

It all seems so clear now. If a minor commits a crime or causes damage, the parent of the child is held liable. This sex offender has not grown up. The boycott group is right, go ahead put some more blame on the Pollacci family, they might just deserve it. Shop for whisky, cigars & porn anywhere but their stores.

Free Speech Still Free . . . For Now

They will be back, probably with a different approach. Mayor Cort says so, ya morons.

“I don’t think stifling the public is the thing to do,” said former Councilman Daniel Miller.

Former Councilman Bob Davis said the purpose of the policy allowing the public to pull consent items “was the right of the public to be informed on every item on the agenda.”

Speaking in favor of the two measures was resident Joy Colangelo, who said that whether residents pull agenda items early in the meeting or wait until the end, “somebody has to wait” because subsequent hearing items on the council agenda are pushed back.

“I guess we’re going back to the drawing board,” Cort said, after council members declined to offer a motion to vote for either item.

Substainable Pacific Grove: Restricting Your Right To Speak, Unless It Fits Their Agenda Is A Good Thing

Joy Colonjello and her Sustainable P.G. ‘Agenda 21′ group’s mission to strip people of their rights & property. She whined at a council meeting that other peoples’ agendas were interfering with hers.

The council will consider today whether to require those who want to address them to fill out speaker cards with their names and addresses beforehand,

As for speaker cards, many public agencies require them, Laredo said, including the Monterey County Board of Supervisors and the cities of Salinas and Santa Cruz. The cards, he said, aid in preparing an accurate record of speakers and the organizations they represent, without interfering with a speaker’s right to engage in anonymous speech.

So they want people to fill out cards before being allowed to speak. So they can visit you o “follow up on matters”, eh?

Did The Mayor Call Mrs. Booth A Moron?

Dan Cort Hs

Georgia Booth dared to stand up and speak out about being contacted by newcomer Thom “Belly” Akeman and his tree posse. Mayor Dan Court also seems to have gotten an email from Georgia, of which he forwarded to his wife. Too bad that she did not snip the Honorable One’s comments before replying to Mrs. Booth . .

Last week Ms. Booth received an email from Beth Cort, the mayor’s wife, responding to Ms. Booth’s concerns about the city’s role in “Trees for PG,” a private group. Ms. Cort’s email contained more than her response to Ms. Booth. Previous communications were attached to the email sent. Among them was an email from Dan Cort to his wife, which read, “Please set this moron straight. Thanks, Dan.“

Coming up next week, Mayor Cort will jump a shark at Lovers Point . .

The Herald’s depiction of Pollacci is more of a crime than anything else, because it creates hype and scares people who may not know him.

I knew him, wish I didn’t.

3/30/09

Let not the sins of the son reflect on the goodness of the family.

I have lived in Pacific Grove all my life. I have gone to school with the Pollacci family and attended social events with them. They are a fine, upstanding family.

A fine upstanding family that employed a registered sex offender. Oxymoron.

With All Of P.G.’s Problems Solved, Council Considers Allowing Walkers On Bike Path

Bicycle Crash In the Past

I remember getting scolded by the cyclist in the Tam O’Shanter hat when I would stray onto the blacktop to shield my kids from the speeding bikes.

This was not passed.

The city council on Wednesday could pass the first reading of an ordinance to make the bike path and trail and multi-use area.

According to the city, members of the Traffic Commission have observed conflicts between pedestrians and bicyclists over who belongs where. The city’s staff reports says there is an “expectation on the part of the bicyclists that the paved portion is exclusive to bicycles when in fact, by custom and practice, this has been a shared use trail.”

P.G. Sales Tax Hits 9.25%

Posted on by

Obama lied.

In two days, sales tax goes up one percent in California to help bring more money to the state. That means depending on the city, taxes will range from 8.25% to 10.25%.

Basically, the tax increases one cent on every dollar you spend. For example, if you want to buy a car that costs $20,000, after April 1, you will have to pay an additional $200 in sales tax.

Most cities in Monterey County will have an 8.25% sales tax. Some exceptions include Salinas where the sales tax will be higher at 8.75% and Pacific Grove at 9.25%. In Santa Cruz County, the city of Santa Cruz has the highest sales tax in the area at 9.5%. In San Benito County, Hollister has a 9.25%, same as nearby Gilroy.

Sales Taxes in the vicinity:

Pacific Grove 9.25%
Pebble Beach8 8.25%
Carmel 8.25%
Monterey 8.25%
Seaside 9.25
Sand City 8.75
Marina 8.25%
Salinas 8.75%
Prundale 8.25%

Farmers Market Is Ruining Downtown, So Say The Store Owners

Posted on by

PG Farmers Market81108

Normally very vocal and visible, Ron’s Liquor owner David Pollacci, a chairman on the Pacific Grove Chamber Of Commerce is oddly silent in this round of Farmers Market debates.

Known as America’s Last Hometown, Pacific Grove was one of the only towns on the Central Coast without a farmers market until nine months ago. It took the city a lengthy year and a half to open the market because of upset business owners wanting the city to consider another location and some didn’t want the market at all in fear that it would drive customers away. Some local businesses are closing their doors for good saying that the 55 days a year that the street is closed is causing them to lose a significant amount of business and they can no longer afford to keep their doors open.

Obama’s Re-Education Camp Comes To Salinas

Democrats are looking to continue a wave of support following the November elections; along with pushing for the Obama federal economic stimulus plan, state Democrats are asking for a backing of a package of ballot measures facing voters in a special election in May. The ballot measures call for a number of changes to California budget policy, following the passage of a belated state budget in February.

“We need to move this state forward we can’t be last in schools, education,” said Shawn Bagley, Central Coast Regional Director. “When I grew up (California) was first in everything–what on earth happened?”

What happened? We sent Sam “the sham” Farr, Babs “checkbouncer” Boxer & Nancy “on  a jet plane” Pelosi to Washington. Decades of Democrat control, that’s what happened.
