Stupid Tax Idea Dead At Starting Line

Posted on by

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.

OK, but three stories?

Santa Clarita-based AMG & Associates has proposed two three-story buildings, each of which would have five apartments. One building would be along Grand Avenue and the other would face Forest Avenue.

NOAA Building Becomes A Home For Mom.

Just like the older Panetta that lost Fort Ord, the younger one fails to save government land.

last week, the Monterey Herald talked to one of the buyers, Tianzhi Chu, who told the newspaper he bought the building so his mother and real estate partner, Yuncheng Huang, could live there.

A local group, which calls itself COAST, wanted the building donated to the City of Pacific Grove and turned into a science and environmental center. According to COAST, “more than 2,500 residents, including leading oceanographers, marine biologists and other scientists,”
signed a petition urging that the property be used for  marine scientific research and education.”

Congressman Jimmy Panetta has backed that plan, and he  repeatedly called for the property to be taken off the auction
block because, he said, the federal Public Buildings Reform Board “failed to engage with local stakeholders.”

Andrew Chyo Denies Sex With Boys, Released On Bail

Is P.G.P.D. being secretive about Chyo’s work with them?

‘A lifelong P.G. resident, Chyo worked in the city’s recreation department for several  years and volunteered with the Pacific Grove Police Department, although police in a press release last week intentionally withheld that information from the public, saying only that Chyo “worked in the local Pacific Grove community.”

‘Asked why PGPD did not disclose Chyo’s employment history, Cmdr. David Santos said “the press release was to notify the public of Mr. Chyo’s arrest in the event that someone may have more information or may have been an additional victim.”

Are We Done

Jenny McAdams calls the cops when she’s called “Done”.

But a mere four days after the judge’s admonishment, a spokeswoman for the Pacific  Grove Police Department said McAdams filed a police report Monday over statements Miller made online.

“An informational report was created by the responding officer for documentation purposes only,” Jocelyn Francis explained. “It is the discretion of the officer on whether or not to write a report, and in this case the officer generated a report.”

McAdams explained the reason for making the police report.

“Concerned residents reached out to me and sent me screenshots of a post where Mr. Miller referred to both the court hearing and myself as ‘done,’” McAdams told The Pine Cone. “I do not know what “done” means to Mr. Miller or how I am “done,” but after review of the post, I was advised to file an informational police report to document this statement.”
