  • Each seat on the Pescadero Municipal Advisory Council is a voluntary position and they haven't held elections since 2008. Here's why there's now a proposal for the seats to be elected positions. abc7ne.ws/45Py4pf

    The idiots in county government should learn two very old lessons:
    1. The county does not know best in all things.
    2. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    No politician is trustworthy, but Mueller has done some good things, whatever his role in the Pescadero flap might turn out to be. For example, he was suspicious that Caltrain wasn’t really trying to make sure everyone on their trains was paying for their ride (important because freeloaders make fares go up for honest people, and cost taxpayers money to make up the lost revenue). So instead of using tax money to hire a consultant and waiting a year for their report, he rode Caltrain himself, observed riders and conductors, and took notes. His report was a major embarrassment for Caltrain, revealing that many conductors were spending all their time on their phones instead of making sure everyone riding had paid.
    Direct action like this is hard to find in a politician these days.

    "No water in your faucets. You ever tried buying a new home and you turn it on? They have restrictors in there. You want to wash your hair. You want to wash your hands. You turn on the water and it goes drip, drip. The soap, you can't get it off your hand. So you keep it running for about ten times longer. You're trying. The worst is your hair. I have this beautiful, luxuriant hair, and I put stuff on. I put it in. Lather. I like lots of lather because I like it to come out extremely dry because it seems to be slightly thicker that way. And I lather up and then you turn on this crazy shower and the thing drip, drip, and you say, 'I'm gonna be here for 45 minutes. What?' They put restrictors and they put them on in places like here where there's so much water you don't know what to do with it. You know, it's called rain. It rains a lot in certain places. But, now their idea, you know, did you see the other day? They just, I opened it up and they closed it again. I opened it, they close it, washing machines to wash your dishes. There is a problem. They don't want you to have any water. They want no water." --Donald 'I'm like a smart person' Trump

    When people vote for representatives to make legislative decisions on their behalf, that is a republican form of government. When citizens gather in a town hall and everyone gets to vote on the proposed legislation, that is a democracy. When representatives are voted to speak on behalf of a group of citizens before another board in solely an advisory manner, that is closer to a soviet form of government.

    The old guard likes to manufacture scarcity in housing/water to raise rates in perpetuity in an otherwise abundant planet. “We got ours now we don’t want to hear planes or see apartments”. This attitude does not go far on other countries. Desal? Across the street from the largest body of water in the world? Doesn’t work they say. 😂. Will “saltify the oceans”. 😂. That’s not a thing. Salt is also a highly valuable by product. Luxurious desires of the elderly do not outweigh the basic human necessities of the rest of the population I mean. Every other country has condos lining coastal areas. We are exempt? Or we are forced into abiding the old guard’s every single willy nilly desire? Jet noise!? Omg. In 2024!? Let’s get rid of jet noise! 😂. Okay 👌
