The Merc's Editorial Board stands up for Councilmember Pete Constant in his pissing match with the San Jose Police Officers Association. The union is not happy with their former police colleague because (they believe) he turned their back on them on the City Council. (They are so mad, in fact, that they are seeking candidates to run against him next year.) But reading the Editorial, Watch Dog couldn't help but notice that the Editorial Board had to distance themselves from Constant twice, while standing up for him once. Take a look at these two lines:
- "...We don't always agree with him..."
- "...Constant's calls on some issues are definitely worth debating..."
Supervisorial Chief of Staff/The Appointed One/(unelected) School Board member Eddie Garcia also graces the back of today's front section and stands up for sports in the East Side Union High School District in the pages of the Merc...(and yes, wise ass, everything is spelled correctly.)
It has been a devastating year for the young folks at Los Gatos High School. Three students have died in one school year.
Cupertino's 'green coordinator' gets profiled in the Courier...so does Sunnyvale's new Library Director in the Sun...(both papers are 'powered by the Mercury News'...Watch Dog would be petrified if we were 'powered by the Mercury News' these days...)
First Saratoga raised garbage rates to pay for road repairs...now Campbell gets in on the action. Watch Dog predicts San Jose (and other cities) will get in on the action...
This should make you feel safer...a San Jose man was arrested for stealing guns from a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Morgan Hill. Does this mean he'll never pass a background check...probably not.
San Jose Revealed has a Quick Note and a history lesson about Tom McEnery, Bill Clinton, and a sluethy phone call from Arkansas...
Mission City Lantern doesn't like baseball...or does he?
