Weak Peake, Mayor’s Seat He Does Not Seek

Posted on by

Vote for Miller.

WeakPeake

Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake seemed determined to run for a fourth term—he took out candidate filing papers on the first day of the nomination period, July 15, according to the P.G. City Clerk’s office—but about a week later he returned those papers, withdrawing from the race.

Two days later, on July 24, former P.G. councilmember Dan Miller took out papers to run for mayor as well. He ran in 2016 for mayor after serving several years on council but lost to Bill Kampe, but since then has been a town firebrand, voicing his disagreements at city meetings and through the now-defunct P.G Press newspaper.

Potato-About Approved By Clueless Councilmembers

The vote was 4-3, with Debby Beck, Luke Coletti, and Lori McDonell dissenting.
Blondie Roundabout

 

The project met mixed comments from the council who called for more safety information and details about how much the project would cost. Council members Debby Beck, Luke Coletti and Lori McDonnell dissented.

The council was asked to choose between a four-way stop with stop signs, or a roundabout. The council was also shown a video rendering of what the roundabout would look like.

Public comment was mostly against the roundabout option, with residents calling it too expensive and unnecessary.

Beck agreed with public comments that the video was not a good representation of Pacific Grove and did not feature children crossing the street, or the field on Sunset.

Look at that. It’s not even a roundabout. Who paid for this overpriced boondoggle?
Bill Peake?
Nick Smith?
Joe Amelio?
Chaps Poduri?

Plop And Miss. Who Thought This Was Good For P.G?

A used record store that serves alcohol. Pricey. Perhaps sell a few bibles, too?

Owner is a come-here Micheala Kuenster, the designer that was a part of Tina Rau’s (losing) 2022 campaign for P.G. City Council. Tina Rau owns the building that Pop And Hiss occupies. Same Tina Rau that hates Christians.Tina hates religious believers

Yelp Reviews

In my opinion the drinks are a bit overpriced for what you’re getting and the records themselves (like all records) are absurdly overpriced.

I ordered a vodka tonic which wasn’t half bad but came in the tiniest plastic cup you can imagine, and my wife got a local beer (Alvarado Mai Tai I think?). As mentioned earlier, it was overpriced but nothing crazy. After tip, the total came out to $24 for 2 drinks.

Unfortunately, when I attended the soft opening, the owner was too drunk to speak. By the end of the event, I got extremely sick. It is highly likely that someone slipped something into my drink

Soft opening was unorganized and unsafe. I hope the business improves.

Substainable – until it’s time to pay the bills then there’s no sustenance. Why is the place still open?

Widfish Ad

Edible Monterey Bay ran an ad in its glossy magazine for Liz Jacobs of Wild Fish, the restaurant that dodged taxes and business license fees. The story is the same, Jacobs has not paid the magazine and it’s gone to small claims court.

Court date is August 29, 2024 in Marina.

No Parole For Recreation Trail Stabber Jesse Carson

Posted on by

This sick SOB stays in jail. His partner is free on parole. Don’t go on the rec trail at night.

Jesse Carson

“Carson anonymously corresponded with local media in an attempt to taunt the authorities and the public about the attack,

Carson was 19 when he was enrolled in the Defense Language Institute. He for “reasons known to himself” and his codefendant, Jason Bland, planned to become serial killers, said Pacioni. The victim was a stranger to them both.

“They restrained her, then repeatedly stabbed, and slashed her. They taunted her with threats and promises of death. During the attack, the victim suffered multiple stabs to her torso and slash wounds to her neck,” detailed Pacioni.

DEI Thinks These Are The Days To Recognize

Posted on by

This was started last year and has not improved from the original list of days. Is this all the DEI does?

at the DEI Task Force meeting Monday night, members unveiled a pared-down draft of the calendar, which omitted what are likely the two most internationally celebrated cultural events of the year — Christmas and Easter. While none of the four task force members mentioned the two Christian events during the  meeting, Doneux said the panel is “certainly open to other people’s suggestions for additions” to the calendar.

P.G. Schools Hand Over Sex Ed To Baby Killers

Posted on by

Should be from the county health department or developed by the school district, not pass the buck to a divisive organization.

Next up, drugs and alcohol in health class with lessons from Bev-Mo.

Sex-Ed

 

Resident Mike Gibbs — who reviewed parts of the sex
ed curricula at the district office — said he was surprised to find that the course contained internet links to Planned Parenthood pages on sex toys with photos and descriptions on how to use them, and a “How do you know how to orgasm?” tutorial, which contained a video.

Following the complaints that have occurred over the past  month, a Planned Parenthood Mar Monte official sent a terse message to PGUSD saying it’s not allowed to let the public see the course.
