I have a dog who is afraid of everything too: fireworks, thunderstorms, the vet, the mailman, communists, City Councilmembers, people named Anonymous, bloggers, commenters (especially ones who live in Montara), former Public Works Directors who are making more in retirement then they did while "working", and people who call "nurdles" "nurgles", "panties" "panies", confuse Congressmen with the President and think that an ice skating rink would attract people to the the coldest city in California. But most of all, he fears dog hating environmentalists. In fact I had to pull him off of one just today.

Your knowledge on this subject is...Thanks, Jeffrey. Your knowledge on this subject is always insightful. For those of you scoring at home, the firing of former City Manager David Carmany was based upon his directiion to City workers to repair the lateral for a rental tenant of one of former Mayor Barbara Carr's clients. BTW, that tenant was no other than former City Council candidate Julie Weismann. The property had a serious/unsafe sewage backflow problem which was characterized as a public health hazard. At the time, the City Code clearly stated that the lateral repair was the responsibility of the City as long as the requisite cleanout was in place. In order to justify Carmany's firing (initiated by Vreeland, PSD et al) and establish precedence for future lateral repairs, City Attorney Quick perverted the interpretation of the Code. Henceforth lateral repairs were considered the home owner's problem. Very convenient for those who wanted to redirect allocated sewer funds towards other ventures.<br /><br />Again, TGWNM - Thank God We're Not Montara!

The responsibility for this lies squarely on the shoulders of our City officials. I was told by former public works director Scott Holmes back in the 1999 timeframe that the City sewer mains and laterals needed to be completely replaced. Unfortunately, he was only given funds for makeshift repairs by Council. Since then, our City officials have shifted responsibility for the replacement of the laterals to individual property owners. Additionally, our City officials have failed to replace sewer mains and our sewer rates and taxes continue to escalate. You and your buddies from PSD seem to be environmental opportunists rather than true environmental advocates.Sammy the Sewage Saturated Sea Lionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-12759206243536644182010-01-26T05:34:01.019-08:002010-01-26T05:34:01.019-08:00I was so moved by Ian's words, and the ignoble...I was so moved by Ian's words, and the ignoble suffering of those poor college students, and the relentless sacrifice Ian makes ever day he cleans my junk from his secret waterfall . . .that I put on my IAN belt buckle this morning.Plater Pod #67noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-24782629631050213182010-01-25T22:19:09.305-08:002010-01-25T22:19:09.305-08:00All of us contribute to the Styrofoam problem whet...All of us contribute to the Styrofoam problem whether we want to or not, everytime we buy a product that is packaged with it. It's not a matter of who to blame, but how do we fix it, and the first step is to admit that it is a problem. Apparently some at this site are in such denial that they would rather pretend it's all just make believe.<br /><br />I don't mind having potshots taken at me, I have thick skin and I know that the truth will eventually win out. But I do take offense at insulting the college students who worked their tails off to help clean up the creek. They are real people, and got school credit for their hard work. <br /><br />I thought cleaning up pollution is something that everyone could agree on, even the people at Fix Pacifica. I hoped to inspire some of you to want to roll up your sleeves and help out, or at least to want to learn more. That's why I bothered to post these photos here.
