Weed Store Tax Being Spent Before It’s Ever Collected

Butterfly Weed

No surprise, all the MJ trade has been asking for tax cutbacks so they can compete.

Better to teach adults who supply drugs, weed, alcohol to “youth” some guidelines. Another high (ha ha) priced weed outlet won’t be a teen’s first choice.

Chaps Poduri — Who is campaigning in favor Of allowing a marijuana retail store in town — suggested that tax revenue from marijuana sales go toward educating young people on how to use it.

Mike Gibbs called Poduri’s comments “dangerous,” and called for Poduri to take an “immediate leave of absence from city council and go back to school to learn how dangerous the psychoactive THC in cannabis really is for children.”

Does the dog check the teacher’s belongings too?

A drug-sniffing golden retriever discovered a marijuana vape pen, while district officials found one package of marijuana edibles, two marijuana vape pens and three nicotine vape pens.

When the school administrator, along with the dog and handler and their support staff, enter a classroom the administrator announces to the class, ‘the safety dog is here today, please leave your backpacks and belongings in the classroom and exit the room with your teacher,

Trash Inspectors Are Coming For Your Eggshells In The Bin

Fines, low social scores and possible public shaming on the way. Can we get whistles to blow when the lid flippers are sighted?

Trash Inspectors

The cities of Carmel, Del Rey Oaks, Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Sand City and Seaside, along with the Pebble Beach Community Services District, collaborated with the trash hauler, GreenWaste Recovery, to hire auditors from Blue Strike Environmental to start checking people’s trash, Martelet said. The total cost is $7,042 for this year’s monitoring, with Carmel ‘s share approximately $415. The auditors will soon be in town to “document visible contamination in the carts,” she said. But they won’t sort through any open or closed garbage bags “in order to maintain privacy,” and all inspections will be conducted in the street as the bins are picked up and emptied by GreenWaste Recovery workers.

Stupid Tax Idea Dead At Starting Line

Not really a good way to represent the people that already pay enough taxes. Maybe she was looking for revenues to pay council a full salary with benefits.

Tax Day

An idea by Pacific Grove City Councilwoman Jenny McAdams to tax property owners whose homes are “empty” “underutilized” received a frigid reception from residents and her council colleagues at a meeting Wednesday night. The idea was shot down without even the first statement taken toward developing the proposal.
McAdams proposed taxing people who own homes in P.G. but don’t live in them often enough and don’t rent them out an annual tax on each of the 1,34 “empty homes” in PG.,

Jenny McAdams Says More Taxes Will Solve Everything

I blame the system that allowed funky old P.G. homes be doubled or tripled in size after a “P.G. Remodel” contributed to the second/vacation home craze.

Jenny McAdams, in a report to her council colleagues, said imposing a so-called “empty-home tax” on those who own homes in Pacific Grove but don’t rent them out or live in them often enough could bring big bucks to city hall and have other benefits.

McAdams Says Biological Males Can Get Pregnant

And they have a right to abortions.

How stupid is Jenny? No wonder she’s always a stable shovel full of ideas.

In response to the council resolution, P.G. resident Kirstie Wilde asked the council in an  email message if the resolution was “scientific” and made the city “look plainly stupid.”

McAdams responded to Wilde, first claiming that “trans women”— those who are born male but identify and live as female — can get pregnant.

It’s time to defund the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force, a scam that has not really added any value to the city it seems.

Section Of Sunset Scores A Sidewalk

Between Congress ave and 17 Mile Drive. Great news for bicycles that don’t ride where they belong.

The small stretch of road is not near any hotels or services, so it’s unclear how often the new pathway will be used, especially by tourists. And it’s an uphill climb from 17 Mile Drive to Congress, which could make for a difficult trek for people in non-motorized wheelchairs and those with other disabilities.
