"Focus on the needs of this town, not what we can't do." (Jim Wagner)
Pacifica Patch/Government, Christa Bigue, 4/2/13. "County Supervisor talks to Pacifica about issues."
| County Supervisor Carole Groom |
This was the Chamber's Government Affairs Committee second meeting in a series of meet and greets with elected officials and business leaders who can make a positive difference in Pacifica. Local business owners, members of the Chamber's staff and board, library, school district, and city council were there, including mayor Len Stone.
... To work toward positive solutions on these issues, Groom recommends, “The people of Pacifica having the will to find the right project and get ready to defend it,” she said. When it comes to widening Highway 1, Groom says she doesn’t have a position on it yet but when she sees some plans, she’ll “dig in,” she says.
Groom was positive about the work being done to rebuild Sharp Park
Golf Course with a new irrigation and drainage system to coexist with
the red-legged frog and keep the course open. She was also upbeat about
the plans for Palmetto Main Street and new library, which she said the
only issue there is funding." Read article.

no one cares about the sad state of Pacifica.
1007, obviously you don't. Sometimes its better to say nothing, yawn.

yawn
Tiresome "What has so-and-so done for Pacifica?" comments.
Yawn.
Steve, 12:03 PM, I agree.
Anonymous, 11:11 AM, nothing happens at county level without the Board of Supervisors. Example, the Board of Supervisors, approved Pacifica's lead request to widen the highway, which was then sent to San Mateo County Transportation Authority. The Board of Supervisors (the County) stepped-up to support Sharp Park Golf Course, in alliance with San Francisco and Pacifica. Public health, roads, shared county management, budget, police, education coordination, etc.-- all exist within each county of a State, ours included.
Oh, the plastic bag ban which occurs April 20th or 22nd (Earth Day). Our county (Board of Supervisors) urged that ordinance, approved by our City (City Council). Blame them, or not.
And, if you think the County does "nothing", why would you ever want this city to disincorporate? What a scary thought that is.
Pacifica has failed. The City Councils have proven that they can not manage.
Sounds like something has been drinking the Riptide Kool-Aid.
Jeez, the posters here make Lord Valdemort seem like a cheerful guy!
People forget that HMB, 40 years ago, had a dilapidated main street and no economy to speak of. The business community, along with their chamber, came together and willed a main street. Pacifica can do the same. You guys obviously aren't interested. You must sit around in your underwear writing snippy comments that lend nothing to the discussion. Why don't you take it to Riptide.

There's a guy who moved to Texas a few years ago wondering how you knew that.
Nice of Carole to drop by. Horsley now owes her big time. Supes who make the trip to Pathetica get R&R when they get back home.
HMB may not have had a touristy main street 40 years ago, but they definitely had an economy. We have neither. Guest speakers and chamber pixie dust aren't going to change that. Never have.
My mother always took me to main st. I remember it being a quiet but busy street that had a lot to offer in the way of a place for people who were in the hobby world of sewing, crafting, painting, cooking, farming, etc.
