On March 30th (unfortunately not on April 20th) expect a really cool (and mellow) crowd at San Jose City Hall as the Council discusses what to do with medical marijuana dispensaries in the City. With a seeming wink to 'friends', John Woolfolk, the Merc reporter covering the story, uses the term "haze" in the first sentence. Here's a wink right back...
Speaking of medical... this isn't a good day at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (or the County Building, for that matter)... VMC was one of three Bay Area hospitals fined for "...safety violations that put patients at risk of serious injury or death..."
Another Scott Herhold column about District Attorney Dolores Carr appears in today's paper about her boycott of a judge. He ends with: "...with her usual tone-deaf style, she's made herself look spiteful..." Look spiteful? (On a separate note, could DA. Carr please send a different photo to the Merc's online folks?)
There is a multi-billion upgrade about to happen with the San Jose Wastewater Treatment Plant (where your poop goes)... this could mean a big piece of land that is now a buffer between the plant and the Bay (where the wastewater eventually goes) could become something different -- which is what today's story is about. Hidden in the story, but well-known at City Hall, is that there will be multi-year rate increases to pay for it all. And there is really no better time for a rate increase than right now...
Some local aviation stories for your reading pleasure:
- A man was arrested for shining a green laser at a Sheriff's helicopter several times... of course, the Sheriff's could easily track him down because they were in a helicopter and he was in a Honda...
- Remember that "plane crash" over the weekend in the Santa Cruz Mountains? Well, it turns out it was a hoax. What kind of jerk?...
- More Hangar One drama... the Navy wants to tear off the 'skin' and leave a big metal structure out there at Moffett Field. Nobody locally wants that to happen and Congresswoman Eshoo is looking for ideas as to what the community would want to do with the structure before anyone asks Congress to fund restoration...
In Palo Alto, they are tackling the big issues: like cracking down on door-to-door magazine sales people... in other words, keep your middle schooler away from my house.
This is weird: A man with a knife robbed a Goodwill in Palo Alto... robbing a Goodwill? Really?
We hate to constantly re-report about crime in Gilroy, but when a gang-related drive-by shooting happens in downtown Gilroy... the Police did make an arrest.
While we are down in South County, the rain has had one positive effect: reservoir levels are up...
