Mayor’s Zoom Meeting Gets Good As Goatse

Posted on by

This would not have happened if they had trusted the schlock website operators that know better.

And Moe? The same Moe that talks about his orgasms in meetings? He did not say his normal “the best thing to happen to P.G.”

“My wife was watching from home, and she was shocked,” Peake said. He added that former P.G. Chamber of Commerce president “Moe Ammar was there, and he said something to the effect of that it was ‘ugly. ‘ There was no laughing.” Peake, who said his State of the City address will be rescheduled, added that “city staff was aware” of the potential for hacking, “and if they had set up the meeting differently, this would not have happened.”

Overflow Of Otters Occupy The Row

Posted on by

I used to meet a coworker after work at Casa Maria, me snagging free appetizers while my friend tried meeting starving schoolteachers that would be there for the free appetizers too. While overhearing tourists commenting on otters they would see, we started a tale about the mechanical otters that rolled on an underwater rail, placed there to attract tourists. Sometimes seeing kayakers and divers out on the kelp we would add them to the ruse, saying they were maintaining the mechanical otters. We would hear the tourists telling each other “did you hear that? the otters are not real”

“We began seeing larger than typical rafts in mid-January,” Jess Fujii, manager of the Monterey Bay Aquarium ‘s sea otter program told, The Pine Cone this week. “The numbers have varied. But we estimate 100 to 250 otters have been resting along Cannery Row over the last few weeks. “

“The Pacific Grove Police Department was notified by Bureau of Land Management employees that human remains had been partially unearthed at a known archaeological site within federal jurisdiction,” the PGPD reported.
Police Chief Cathy Madalone told The Pine Cone they were found on the 1400 block of Ocean View, an area along the coast and across the street from a city recycled-water treatment plant.

City Council Fires Tina Rau

Posted on by

No to Tina Rau and other divisive applicants. Don’t forget.

Resident Carol Marquart at the Jan. 9 meeting echoed a growing number of residents’ concerns that the DEI task force is only inclusive and accepting of citizens who are in lockstep with its goals, and she called for new members to replace the incumbents.

“I’d like to see a new group of people with the same passion that you have — only less divisive,” Marquart said at the meeting.

For example, after it was discovered late last year that Rau had mocked Catholics and other Christians in a Twitter post, Rau doubled down on the comment and initially refused to apologize. Her task force colleagues also refused at first to condemn the anti-Christian comments — which some called hypocritical considering the task force promotes “diversity and inclusion.”

Jason Blad, P.G. Recreation Trail Attacker Granted Parole

Posted on by

Recreation trail can be a dangerous place. Now an attacker that repeatedly stabbed a young lady there is about to be freed. Not right.

The California Board of Parole Hearings, represented by two parole commissioners, granted Jason Blad parole after 21 years in California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In June of 2002, Blad was sentenced to seven years to life for attempted murder.

This was Blad’s Seventh Parole Board Hearing. The  Monterey County District Attorney’s office will request that  Gov. Gavin Newsom reverse the panel’s decision.

From the last denied parole story: The two men stabbed the woman 12 times and slashed her throat twice before leaving her for dead on the trail in November 2000. At the trial in Monterey County Superior Court, the victim told jurors she’d pleaded for her life and tried to get away, but the two pinned her to the ground and began stabbing her on each side.

Monterey Spending Money To Make Money

Rent for Scales was probably too high for the business. Soooo

The two-story, 17,500-square-foot structure at 30 Fisherman’s Wharf has been vacant since July 2021, when restaurant Scales Seafood & Steaks moved out after its owners failed to reach a lease agreement with Monterey. The city owns the building and has a filed a permit with the
coastal commission to make improvements to it.

Fight The City, Get A Lein With No Notice

City Council did drop the fines.

But when they tried to sell the house, they were shocked to discover that the City of Pacific Grove — way back in August 2017 — had placed a lien on the property because of the unpaid fines. The fines, which they admit to not paying at the time, had accrued to $14,667.50 during the six years.
While PG city manager Ben Harvey in early October suggested they would be on the hook for the nearly $15,000, the couple recently addressed the city council twice, arguing the city never told them about the lien. “We were not properly noticed of the lien or the council resolution that approved of the filing of the lien,” Mark Hanes told the city council in hopes of getting the lien rescinded.

Tina Rau, DEITF Ignore All Calls To Quit

Posted on by

They sure get loud when triggered but silence is all we get from them when their hypocrisy shows.

As Pacific Grove residents this week continued to call for the resignation of the head of Pacific Grove’s diversity, equity and inclusion task force after she mocked Christians on social media, members of the panel and the county’s Democratic Party central  committee — which is endorsing her candidacy for city council — refused to comment on the controversy.

Tina Rau, the chair of the DEI task force and one of six people vying for a seat on the  Pacific Grove City Council in the Nov. 8 election, took to Twitter in August to ridicule Catholics and evangelical Christians, which led numerous residents, elected officials, the Diocese of Monterey and others to criticize the post

The “lousy” City Manager was ignoring calls to fire Tina Rau.

Davis, 70, said when he asked Harvey why the DEI task force meetings were still only being held remotely and whether he would fire Rau or ask for her resignation for the social media post, Harvey told him the decision was not up to him. According to Davis, he responded by telling Harvey, “You are a lousy city manager and you ought to go back to L.A. where you got fired from your last city manager job,”

The comment, Davis said, triggered Harvey, who got in Davis’ face and accused him of harassing a secretary. Davis asked the secretary if he was harassing her and she shook her head no, according to Davis. “He went ballistic,” said Davis, adding that Harvey was screaming at him. “His nose was 2, maybe 3, inches from mine. Harvey had his finger in my face and I got angry. I can’t remember if I cursed, but I said, ‘Get your finger out of my face,’ and he started shaking his finger and he barely touched my nose.”
