Water Bills Will Double

I say leave residential bills as is and TRIPLE the cost for hotels. Make the biggest wasters of water bear the cost.

With or without a proposed regional seawater desalination facility, rates for California American Water customers on the Peninsula will likely double in the next few years, a company executive said Tuesday.

Cal Am President Rob MacLean admitted it would cost more to provide water if a regional water project is built. But he said the cost would be even greater if a replacement source to the Carmel River is not developed, and the regional desalination facility is the most inexpensive alternative.

“The rates will go up,” MacLean said after a Tuesday news conference in Monterey.

Crackpot “Artist” Rewrites History At Mvsevm

Someone sold the Mvsevm a ball of sticks, called it art and left it in the garden. Looks like a giant dung beetle left it’s namesake in the garden.

Spirit Nest

The jewel in the crown of the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History’s redesigned Native Plant Garden is a “spirit nest” created by Big Sur artist Jayson Fann. On Monday, March 29 a crew with a crane brought the spirit nest to be placed in the garden where it will be available for the public to view, and to dream in.
Fann, an artist who “favors art that serves a purpose,”

It does serve a purpose, kindling.

The Once A Year Passionfish Green Hoax

Lather, rinse, repeat. As long as this poof piece is reported every year, remember it’s about green in their wallets.

You should see the mountains of landfill-destined garbage and rubbish that this restaurant generates. Look at the grease encroaching the sidewalk leaking from their overflowing dumpster. See the other trash cans blocking the sidewalk. This “green” business practices is a farce.

Jesse Crow – Murder Suspect, Medical Marijuana Card Holder

and son of a medical marijuana dispensary owner/manager. Crow was picked up in P.G.

Jesse Crow

The first search warrant served on this peaceful medicine user is at KSBW.

When police arrived, Ryan’s family had blocked Jesse’s truck in the driveway and told police they believed Jesse had a history of abusing Ryan — abuse that had gone unreported — and they suggested Jesse had a drug operation because he didn’t have a job, but he seemed to have plenty of money.

The warrant also calls attention to Crow’s father — a physician — confirming that Dr. Crow runs a medical marijuana dispensary. The warrant said it operates out of Soledad.

Buzzword For Broke: Unsustainable

What better crisis story to begin a push for yet more taxes? I’ll never vote for any tax increases as long as spending continues on follies like the ineffective Chamber Of Commerce or “ICLEI”, the Local Governments for Sustainability.

Budget ”unsustainable,” P.G. financial official says

 

Property tax revenues have remained steady, but sales and hotel room taxes are down, he said. Some recovery on those two sources of revenue is expected in fiscal 2012-13.

But by fiscal 2014-15, Becklenberg said, costs will begin outstripping revenues and the city will have to explore new sources of money.

Tree Removal Reform

Remember the lady that Dan Cort called ‘moron’ over challenging the tree policy?

They argue that the city’s authority to regulate tree planting should be limited to the public spaces it owns and maintains: greenbelts and parks.

“From Eardley to First,” said resident Michael Clark, “is a solid hedge of trees. One of the treasures of the city is its views.”

Michael Clark is a bit blind – a low row of neatly trimmed oaks and one lopped eucalyptus fill the strip between those streets. Is Clark referring to the views of trees or the view from his vinyl clad windows?

Ow!

Pollacci Rape Trial Delay – Now It’s The Court’s Overcrowding

Too many Pollaccis in court adding to the workload?

The trial for Thomas Pollacci was on hold Friday while Judge Russell Scott tries to finish one trial to make room for another. Pollacci was scheduled to begin trial Monday.

His son, Jordan Thomas Pollacci, 20, is facing a preliminary hearing Friday on charges he burglarized two residences near downtown Pacific Grove on Jan. 4 and Feb. 15. He is being held in Monterey County Jail in lieu of $80,000. That preliminary hearing will likely be delayed. Liu is defending father and son.
