Squatters Gonna Squat
So if the squatters can squat at Pine Street, can the squatter squealer squat in the news racks?
City Reveals It’s Checkbook
Took some searching through the city website schlock but found it. Go here: Pacific Grove / Annual (opengov.com) Then scroll down to Data, where it defaults to Summary Table and finally click Check Register. You’ll have to scroll to the right to get to the good information, and maybe click on a column divider to widen the cells enough to read. But hey, that’s what we get when there’s no schlock.
City councilman Luke Coletti proposed that city hall publish the monthly check register so taxpayers can easily see how much the city spends monthly on things like pension costs, water and power expenses, reimbursement to city employees and many other things.
Coletti, who was elected in November 2020, made a campaign promise to “establish policies and programs that ensure fiscal transparency and public access.” City staffers agreed to publish the information. “It’s a total no-brainer as far as I’m concerned,” he told The Pine Cone about city hall’s release of the check register. “Carmel, as well as many other local jurisdictions and agencies, have been releasing their registers for years. Pacific Grove used to — a long time ago — and I wanted to reestablish the practice,” Coletti said.
Fired Cop Fights To Get Job Back
Lawsuits we bound to happen. Hoping for a reinstatement or big payout.
He also contends that the Pacific Grove police officers union’s policy manual allows employees to “oppose, support or contradict any social issue, cause or religion,” which is what he said he did in the Parler posts. “I didn’t represent myself as a police officer,” Gonzalez said. “I was totally off duty when I made those posts, and I was speaking to a matter of public concern, which is within my First Amendment rights. I didn’t violate any law and I didn’t violate any policy.”
It’s just crazy to be labeled something like a racist for not supporting an organization, which to me is anti-police.”
P.G. Man Assaults Woman In Hotel
A muffin was involved.
A jury found David Michael Burge, 30, a resident of Pacific Grove, guilty of four felony charges, including inflicting corporal injury on a person with whom he had a dating relationship, two counts of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, and communicating a criminal threat.
On Oct. 5, 2020, Jane Doe and Burge, her ex-boyfriend, were staying at a local inn when he became angry because she refused to warm up a frozen blueberry muffin for him. In response, he smashed the muffin into her face and punched her in the face with a closed fist. When she called her mother after the incident, Burge told her that if she called the police, he would kill her. Her mother overheard this threat. Burge made a second threat that he would get out of jail, come back, and kill her.
Ex Mayor Recovers Stolen Bicycle
Carmel Mayor sees something and says something
at around 3:30 a.m. March 18, a security guard at the Monterey Plaza Hotel saw someone smash a glass door at the Mad Dogs & Englishmen bike shop and called police, who soon arrived to discover “someone had broken in and stolen a high-end electric bicycle.”
Having seen their post and photos of the bright red e-bike, former Mayor Steve Dallas was in Seaside shopping for his mother the next morning when he saw a group of men standing around a bike that seemed out of place. “I was getting something for my mom at Smart & Final and came back to the car with some drinks for her, looked up and saw this red bicycle,” he said. He recognized it as the e-bike stolen from Blevins and Watson — who opened their first Peninsula bike shop on Mission Street in Carmel several years ago — so he called Seaside P.D.
No Cure For The Mercedes Benz 2021
If the seal posse was there Ache-Man would have thrown his body in front of the German missile to protect the seals.
A 30 year old Pacific Grove man crashed his 2008 Mercedes off 17 Mile Drive onto kelp and rocks on a beach near Cypress Point Saturday afternoon around 1:30 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol public information officer Jessica Madueño. The beach is used by harbor seals for pupping each year, usually beginning in April.
Madueño said the cause of Ryan Todd’s crash remains under investigation but noted he was usinga cell phone at the time,
Patisserie Bechler Shooter Charged With Attempted Murder
Following a March 4 preliminary hearing, Monterey County Superior Court Judge Rafael Vazquez found there was sufficient evidence to believe Razo committed two counts of attempted premeditated murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle, and two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and he ordered her to stand trial.
Razo also faces several enhancements, including causing great bodily injury. She’s being held in Monterey County Jail. Her bail has increased to $2,030,000.
Turn The NOAA Building Into Another Art Gallery?
Got the money, do it. Just what is most useful another art gallery open 16 hours a week. Just tear it down and plant some butterfly favored fauna. Or maybe a mountain lion preserve.
While those circumstances might suggest that the group has little chance of competing with deep-pocketed bidders, Greene pointed out that there are very few things a buyer could possibly do with the building and land due to its sensitive location, which is zoned for open space. “Because it falls in the Coastal Zone, it would be hard for anyone to come in there and do any significant development,” he said. Before trying to acquire the building and land, Greene said his group first wants to see if there’s local interest in the project.
Tourist Hucksters Want To Change Airport’s Name
Carmel-Fresno Airport has a nice sound, right? Is this the same group that wanted to change the name of the Stockton airport to San Francisco Stockton Regional Airport.
Should we all just start tacking “Carmel” to everything to increase it’s value to the less than intelligent tourists?
A Carmel tourism group has proposed changing the name of the Monterey Regional Airport — as it’s currently known — to the Carmel-Monterey Regional Airport, according to a proposal to the airport district’s board of directors this week.
Representatives for the group, Visit Carmel, which is funded by hotel and restaurant customers, showed Monterey Peninsula Airport District’s five directors Wednesday a presentation outlining why it believes including “Carmel” in the name would benefit the airport and the city.
