Sounds great…extra money, so spend it! What happened to providing parcel tax relief that was PROMISED during the campaign to renew the parcel tax? ("If it's not needed, we won't charge it."). The opposition group, which was prevented from publishing a rebuttal, predicted correctly that this promise would never come to be realized, and also was correct in that the parcel tax was not needed.

Dear, dear yup.
How about spending your time fixing the blight in Menlo Park before you go slamming Atherton.
I shed tears every time I drive ECR near Safeway.

With all the wealth in Atherton, the city cheats the low-paid maintenance crews out of benefits! Try doing their job for a day & living where they live. Let them eat cake, eh, Atherton?

"yup's comment suggests it's okay for citizens of Atherton to get overcharged since they can afford it"
Nope: Yup's comment reflects the hilarity of reading of Athertonian's and their incessant moaning and whining about hiring working folk to take care of their needs.
Poor, poor town.

As I drive around Atherton, I see campaign signs from a sitting council member up for re-election. It says "Expect More". I find myself asking expect more of what?
Let's see .. NEPOTISM? Didn't this candidate appoint his wife to the Atherton Planning Commission? Should we expect more of that?
And now we find out that the biggest change he advocated .. firing the Town's public works and building employees .. has led to an audit by a state agency? How long have we know about that? Seems like a rather matter of fact announcement.
Atherton saved a bunch of money on the backs of a few working class employees. Two of the three council members who screwed these guys over are off the council. One remains. Yes indeed .. expect more if you don't vote for someone else!
