I wonder how many of the people who donated to Save Menlo, whose web site focusses solely on the Lanza/Fry initiative, realize that their money will be spent instead to support candidate for the council chosen, again in secret, by the Save Menlo self appointed and unaccountable leaders?

Well finally we find out that "$5,000 -- went to Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger, a law firm specializing in land-use issues that has popped up in other Menlo Park battles. The firm was also retained by a group of downtown business and property owners unhappy with the way the specific plan's environmental impact analysis was conducted prior to the plan's adoption."
