Water Main Breakers

School Spirt, eh.

PGhs 1103

The California American Water break occurred after noon in the bus parking zone which parents also use to drop off and pick-up their kids on Sunset Avenue. Former P.G. City Councilman Dan Miller said that about two years ago — before Mogensen was city manager — he complained to city officials about a significant bulge in the pavement in front of the high school, but nothing was done about it. The pavement bulge turned out to be where the water main-break occurred.

Weak Peake, Mayor’s Seat He Does Not Seek

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.
