Moonlight Beach Icon Declared Evil (see the great article in the NCTimes Sunday paper).
The city council will be reviewing the invasive plant species program. If adopted as is, does this mean the Canary Island palms at the beach and on 101 are going to eventually get the axe?
Plenty of money to build $5 million dollar pedestrian track crossing.
Why not build cheaper and more frequent at grade crossings? They would be safer than crossing the tracks at Leucadia Blvd! See the LB series on AGCrossings here.
Plenty of money to build $5 million dollar, years late, fire station.
The city borrowed $20 million, in part, because they needed to hurry up and quickly replace 3 fire stations. It was in the best interest of the taxpayers to remove and rebuild the old stations that the city needed to borrow money right away. That is what the city told the public. That was way back in 2006.
Green Economic Revolution Can Not be Won by Optimism and Taxpayer Subsidies Alone
Solyndra collapsed and 1,000 workers laid off. The current green jobs loan guarantees program is not a good way to use taxpayer money. With the current system there is less need to run a good company or show that you will be competitive if the government backs a half billion dollars of your debt. If you have a good model investors will back you without the government backstop.
It is also a good idea to back the loans of private for-profit desalination companies, which our council isn't fighting against!
