The deadline to apply for a seat on the Midcoast Community Council is Friday, February 26th 5:00pm. The names of the applicants will be confirmed by the MCC Chair later this month.
Over the past 4+ years Kevin Barron made 36 comment on Coastsider. A few of his comments include the following:
Immigration:
"Just turn the heat up a bit on what we have in place now, and slowly, but deftly clean things up."
San Francisco Oil Spill:
"Anneliese’s reference is paramount to the armchair-quarterbacking on every government agency’s response time, press release, official’s comments, approach, reaction, proposal, solution, and/or allocation of funds… it reminds me how ridiculous it can get. In the end, it creates civic organizations which require so much delicate tip-toe’ing, careful verbiage, and organizational bloat and process to ensure the public firing squad doesn’t hold the accountable for the slightest mis-step."
Representative Tom Lantos dies:
"Growing up here, he was pretty much the only “regular” thing in local politics… mayors, state senators, US senators, etc… Term limits aside, would be good to see a summation of what exactly he did for almost 30 years for his district."
Hillary Clinton:
"Even Ann Coulter says Hillary is more conservative than McCain.. interesting."
The film An Inconvenient Truth:
"Call me kooky, but something is still awfully awry here. Few find this odd, also given his senatorship nor presidential candidacy had little/nothing to do with the paramount threat to mankind he’s benefited so much off of."
State Senate passes Lantos tunnel-naming bill:
"It’s always so easy to push these through postmortem. At least have the fortitude to name landmarks while they are still in office and their record/performance is up for grabs? Yet politicians, once again, pat each other on the back, and bestow yet another landmark honor. You may as well rename the stretch of road from Montara-to-HMB the Jackie Speier Highway… just get it over with."
Coastal Commission takes on AB1991:
"I think what was intended to inhibit careless filling of coastal lagoons with cement at will, has devolved into leveraging them for finding any excuse to stop development."
Governor declares statewide drought:
"This is lame, as there was so much resource that could of been tapped, but decades of (lack of) legislation leads us to situations such as this. Last I checked, we did NOT have a dry winter… what we’ve had (ongoing) is dry action. Curious how many reservoirs have been created in the last 2 decades, vs the 2 decades prior."
