I am heartened that 12 of those leaders are women. Be they left or right, I’ve always been of the opinion that women are better decision makers than men.

It’s great to see that Kassi Dee will be bringing common sense and civility to Grover Beach. Hopefully all the wild-eyed, divisive conspiracy theorists can hang with that and chill out.

As the Election Department has the not understandable slows, at least we know we are in for more bad policies in SLO. Get ready for more publicly sponsored vandalism to our streets and neighborhoods with stupid and dangerous bike lanes,

Among those who sit on the SLO City Council, I wonder how many of them rely primarily on bicycles for daily transportation and routinely use those ridiculous channelized bike lanes that have destroyed the character of the city and its neighborhoods.
