Jenny McAdams Cheats On Her Property Tax

Posted on by

Oopsie! It was a mistake. Sure. And she owns a house in Seaside dontcha know.

A City Council candidate did some scrambling this week when she was told that a property tax deduction she took would indicate she had recently made Seaside her primary residence.

Jenny McAdams, who lives in a rented home in Pacific Grove, said she unknowingly took the $7,000 primary residence deduction on her property tax on the Seaside home she owns in which she says she has long-term renters.

According to Monterey County Assessment Clerk Darlene Bagwell, the $7,000 homeowner’s exemption is entitled to those who own and occupy the home as their primary residence. With it, $7,000 is taken off the accessed value of the property, which amounts to saving $70 a year.

$2,700,000 For Pot Enforcement

Enforce the use of MJ or enforce the tax collection or enforce the wha, what I forget. Let’s see if the cannabis taxes can cover those millions.

Supervisor Jon Phillips noted the cannabis program had initially asked for more than $10 million, then cut the request to $7.4 million before settling at $2.7 million during a tough 2018-19 budget year. It was known that the assigned funding might need to be adjusted based on demonstrated program need. Phillips said it’s still possible the program might need even more funding in the future.

At the same time, Supervisors Jane Parker and Mary Adams said they were concerned about devoting more money to the cannabis program after the community had made it clear during county-sponsored forums earlier in the year that its priorities lay elsewhere, including early childhood education and health initiatives rather than public safety.

On Sept. 16, Zachary David McGlothen, 22, of Pacific Grove and Charles Gaskins, 44, of Seaside were arrested on suspicion of hotwiring and stealing Ryan and Tracy Travaille’s 2011 Toyota Sienna outside their Eardley Avenue home just as they finished unloading groceries and were about to put their kids in the vehicle. Two laptop computers, a gym bag and other items were also stolen from the couple’s other car.

The Toyota had been missing for eight days until about 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 16 when a citizen contacted the Seaside Police Department.

“Officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious vehicle” on Mingo Avenue, Seaside Police Deputy Chief Judy Veloz told The Pine Cone. “The officers contacted the guys inside the vehicle and took them into custody.”

What Restaurant Dumped Crayons In The Bay?

Nice touristy businesses.

Divers conducted an underwater cleanup off McAbee Beach in Monterey and discovered hundreds of crayons littering the ocean floor. KSBW took a close look at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.’s crayons on today, which are packaged with plastic in pairs. The crayons matched the type that divers were finding on the ocean floor.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t monitor our contractor closely
enough and the contractor used the wrong bag covers — plas-
tic instead of burlap or paper,” Meister told The Pine Cone.
In 2017, after learning of the infraction, the coastal com-
mission slapped the aquarium with a notice of violation of the
Coastal Act. At the Fort Bragg meeting, commissioners will
weigh a bid by the aquarium to remove the plastic-wrapped
sacks, which also haven’t worked, and install concrete and
stainless steel supports for the pipelines.

Golf Course Car Auction Returns

Red Ferraris On Golf Course

The only issue, according to Ciani, was that some black oystercatchers and Heerann’s gulls were disturbed when a photographer tried to launch a drone near the auction tent.

Ciani added that the photographer was “very responsive to our concerns about wildlife disturbance,” and he later set the drone off near the lighthouse, which allowed him to film “without disturbing the birds on the way up.”

Harvey was unaware of the incident, and said he didn’t think it had been reported to city hall or the police, but said he would follow up with Ciani, the photographer and Worldwide Auctioneers.

Pebble Beach Townhomes Open

Del Monte Park Dwellers said that the P.B. workers would stink, unlike their Arkwright Court neighbors.

DMP Del Monte Park

Monterey County required the Pebble Beach Company to
build the affordable units at its own expense as part of the
company’s final buildout plan — not only to provide badly
needed workforce housing, but to reduce commutes by workers in and out of Del Monte Forest. The company selected a site it said was convenient to services and contained degraded habitat.
But before the Pebble Beach Company broke ground on
the project, it faced pushback from some neighbors in the
Del Monte Park area of Pacific Grove, who claimed that the
townhomes would cause noise and light pollution, destroy the natural habitat, increase traffic and even be the source of bad smells.

Cannery Row Caboose

Ed Ciliberti of Pebble Beach told The Pine Cone that Monterey gave him a license for the 1916 caboose, which he purchased from local author Randall Reinstedt and his wife, Debbie. The state granted Ciliberti a seller’s permit this week.“I hope to have the new ground lease in the next few days for The Cannery Row Caboose,” said Ciliberti on the train car’s new business name.

Isn’t This Normal Behavior For Porsche Drivers?

Posted on by

Ehh it was an automatic Boxster.

On Aug. 12 shortly before 1 a.m., Sgt. Chris Johnson saw a silver Boxster make an illegal left turn out of the Crossroads shopping center onto Rio Road, and when Johnson pulled the car over on northbound on Highway 1, the driver initially stopped. But as Johnson walked toward the Porsche, “the driver — later identified as Eric Miskey —
revved the engine, shifted the vehicle into gear and sped away,”

24 hours later, when a Pacific Grove officer saw the Boxster in a no-parking area on Ocean View Boulevard “with a guy asleep inside,” at around 12:25 a.m.

But instead of acquiescing, Miskey again tried to escape, according to Lakind. Before he could get away, one of the officers was “able to get into the vehicle and put  it in park,” Lakind said. And, using “control techniques,” the officers were able to get him  out of the car. Nobody was injured, he said. PGPD turned Miskey over to a Carmel police officer, who took him to Monterey County Jail
