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

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.,

Ben Harvey Gets Butt-Hurt Over Demands That He Do His Job

So the city’s distant city manager has a $40,000 investigation of Luke Coletti take place, only to have the complaints sustained.

And just who leaked the “documents provided to the Weekly via an anonymous source”? Either Ellis Investigations or Ben Harvey himself.

In January, Harvey filed a harassment complaint with the city’s human resources director. The city entered into a contract with Ellis Investigations on Feb. 11 to investigate the complaint, not to exceed $40,000, according to documents provided to the Weekly via an anonymous source.

Harvey’s three allegations against Coletti were sustained, according to an email sent on Oct. 10 from Harvey to the special counsel

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.

Substainable P.G.: Trash Causes Climate Change

Then the substainable kooks are contributing to climate change by breathing. If they really wanted to help….

Operated through a partnership between the city of Pacific Grove and environmental nonprofit Sustainable Pacific Grove, the effort is typically held on the second Saturday of each month. Since June, the pair have helped popularize the endeavor, now attracting upward of 25 volunteers to participate in the pick-ups on a regular basis.

Dunn explained that the trash pick-ups help satisfy Sustainable Pacific Grove’s larger mission to educate residents about individual and community actions that will help mitigate the impact of climate change.

Tina Pulling a Jenny?

So much for inclusion. Or pie. No transparency here. All of the nasty posts are now safely hidden away from all those so called stalkers. Don’t trust her.

Sure Tina. Hide your hate.

Press Release
From the office of Tina Rau, Candidate for Pacific Grove City Council Monday September 26, 2022

After having a group of people – none of whom I know, nor do they follow anyone I know – attempt to follow me on Twitter, I have locked my account temporarily for security reasons.  I will not allow my followers, some of whom are in marginalized communities, be subject to stalking or harassment.

No, she wants to hide her unhinged hateful messages from anyone that might not think “her way”.

Tina Rau, Our Hateful DEITF Chairperson Running For Council

Posted on by

Tina Rau chairs the City’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force but seems full of hate online toward people with different opinions. No one with that kind of mindset deserves to be on any board calling for inclusion, let alone be on city council. Disband the slanted DEITF, and don’t vote for Tina. We deserve better than her.

Ms. Rau is now being called out as her views have come to light. Ms. Rau has tweeted and retweeted other’s posts over 4,000 times. Among her posts are ones mocking people who say “thoughts and prayers,” Republicans, Catholics, Christians, people who support pro­life, supporters of the Constitution, and she even expresses the belief that we should “defund the Supreme Court”.

Here’s a few of Tina Rau’s statements and echoes that see slants toward:

Equal means Equal

Catholics and Republicans deserve to be equal unless they are judged by Tina.
Tina hates religious believers

F You From Tina
