Morning News Round-Up -- 10.2.09: Get your Malibu elsewhere...

The tables are turned for San Jose's U.S. District Judge James Ware. A little, tiny bank is suing him over boat payments he (alleged) didn't make -- which is an interesting story. But the more interesting story is about Judge Ware's more controversial history... we recommend you read this story to the end.

Barely a day goes by without a City of Palo Alto/ union story. Today's version is about 7 mid-level police managers that want to form their own bargaining unit. 7? Really?

One of the Silicon Valley's hotbeds of NIMBYism, Saratoga, is in the midst of what could be a prolonged, and loud, battle about the development of Saratoga Village Center. Have fun with that Saratoga Planning Commissioners and City Councilmembers.

Watch Dog San Mateo has reintroduced its Recession Repercussion theme... well, Watch Dog Silicon Valley can add this to the growing list: Sunnyvale Chevrolet is shutting down. It looks like you'll have to buy your Malibu elsewhere...

A Sunnyvale custodian at local schools pleaded no contest to child porn charges. He must be getting excellent legal advice?

Morgan Hill Unified is interviewing 6 folks for the open Superintendent gig. We would guess that the guy in the previous story is not one of the 6...

And while we are in South County... The City of Gilroy's budget is 'balanced', but City unions are displeased...

Still in South County... here's a headline the folks down there probably don't like seeing (courtesy of the Dispatch): Woman Shoots At Another Woman From Car in Gilroy... Those outlets really piss people off, apparently.

Contrast that, to this: Earlier in the week, Milpitas had its first homicide in two years... Gilroy is jealous.

In other "crime in safe cities" news, a guy was arrested on Wednesday in Mountain View for an (alleged) hate crime...
Have a good weekend loyal Watch Doggers, and remember: (Fight) Club Wet is closed... so you'll have to find somewhere else to brawl this weekend...
