One of those vote-splitting things. Pete squeaked through. Thank Tod with one D. Prior to that, Sue Digre was first elected the year Maxine and Barbara were dethroned. It was a Sue, Julie and Jim trinity. Growthers better choose their 2016 candidates very carefully. No herding cats like the Republicans.

That is not the same as "promised us a new Palmetto." See our reprint from the <a href="http://fixpacifica.blogspot.com/2012/09/initial-view-of-pacifica-city-council.html" rel="nofollow">Pacifica Tribune, 9/7/12</a>.<br />She also said she would "address the City's economic issues", which she an other City Council majority members have done, bringing in City Manager Lorie Tinfow and her team to address these issues.Kathy Meehnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-20969322890226562072015-09-16T13:25:08.010-07:002015-09-16T13:25:08.010-07:00Thx 1259.

Beyond that, don't you know the raise they announce to the public isn't the whole picture? It's the fine print, the fringes, the benefits and the almighty work rules that cost the taxpayers as much as any raise. Under the radar. The more analytical bears like Nihart, and, yes, Keener, actually understand the contracts. And, let's not forget our council voted themselves executive level union benefits 7 or 8 years ago. Unions give a little here to make the co-operative politician look tough and fiscally responsible to the voters and they get a little there, quietly, to keep the members happy. The unions and their smart politicians scratch each other's backs. Nihart is a smart politician. She knows she needs union support and will never do anything to derail that. The unions know they need their politicians in place and will never do anything publicly to damage them as long as they play along. This city plays along, it always has.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-80632150062264804692015-09-16T13:09:21.622-07:002015-09-16T13:09:21.622-07:00Karen is done.

I don't see political ambition in Ervin. Not at all. And maybe that's why she actually has more potential than anyone we've seen in 20 years. Comes across as accessible, compassionate, smart and genuine. Sure, she's Nihart's wingman on some things, it happens, but she's not a Nihart. Of course, that pretty much guarantees she won't seek higher office. And that's too bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-44217088091369817522015-09-16T11:55:15.589-07:002015-09-16T11:55:15.589-07:0010:29 why do you hate Pacifica so much that you wa...10:29 why do you hate Pacifica so much that you want to drive it into bankruptcy?Contra-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-87276307660888990822015-09-16T11:44:39.354-07:002015-09-16T11:44:39.354-07:00Gentrification of Pacifica is underway because the...Gentrification of Pacifica is underway because the Bay Area economy is so strong it's created a super-hot housing market. People making bags of money and they need a place to live. This is probably something even a Pacifica City Council can't screw up. It's our geography finally working for us. What are we saving it for? Will it translate into an economically sustainable Pacifica? Oh, probably not--it's just housing and we'll still be nothing more than a bedroom community with a few more cafes and shops and very vulnerable to any market fluctuations. Find the space to put 500 million dollars of new or improved housing and Pacifica only makes about $500K in annual property tax. A few more bucks in sales and gas tax-thank heaven for 7-Eleven! Same amount the new library complex might bring in. Nonetheless, delight among associated housing industry professionals would be off the scale. And there's nothing wrong with that. Our new well-heeled neighbors better love the idea of higher taxes for the privilege of living in heavily residential Pacifica. Hey, hear those echoes of Julie Lancelle? Still we've got to love it because our property values will go up and this old dump of a town will look great! Us long time residents are eager to pay more taxes for services, right? Gentrification.
