  • ""the county cut more than 200 positions as a means to balance the budget. However, many of the positions were vacant", only in government can a job that is not filled and does not require any compensation be used to balance a budget. "mutiple departments have submitted add-back requests to restore prior jobs", but if the jobs were not filled before and somehow the work got done why is there a need to request back and unfilled position?, and yet they tell us there is not waste and fraud in our local government."

  • "Thank you! The Democrats have had control of the Legislature all these years and have done little if anything to alleviate the problem of the mentally ill/homeless (other than blow multi-millions of dollars on homeless services with no accountability) while they continue to blame Reagan for the problem. Is anyone in the Democrat party willing to lead, do the hard work, actually tackle these problems instead of making excuses and majoring on the minors? It sure doesn't seem like it."

  • "Have there been any updates as to the death of Toney? Is the PD still investigating? Have there been any arrests? It looks like the Buffalo Bar is still closed. This Reddit post has a lot of info but much of it reads like gossip: https://www.reddit.com/r/SLO/comments/1qpr6qy/san_luis_business_owner_found_dead/"

  • "Concerns with Dantona include this issue-kudos to cattlemen’s association for pulling the endorsement. As well as the significant ethical breach of working for Gibson while running for District 2, especially when he publicly stated he was resigning his job at the SLO chamber to campaign full time. Dantona is Gibson 2.0 and many in District 2 are fed up with Gibson and his attitude of “knowing what’s best for the District” and ignoring the residents."

  • "Because Dantona got the job with Gibson AFTER he announced he was running and AFTER he was endorsed by Gibson. So now Dantona can be paid by all of us to attend board meetings in his district and talk to constituents. It's total BS. Dantona is just a BS politician who just moved here from Los Angeles. I don't agree with Woody on everything but he is knows the issues, works hard, and would be a great fit for that district."

  • "Hah! An embarrassingly obtuse statement! Wiki US energy independence, and try to grasp the significant difference between petroleum independence and total energy(net kW) independence. If you don’t have both, outcountry suppliers have leverage on you. We achieved both under Trumps 1st term when he interrupted the Feds foolish war against hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon producers. No do you seemto grasp how all nations and administrations use propaganda statements while contesting with other nations. You see so focused on breathlessly raging against any policy facet you dislike to appreciate wider objectives."

  • "More and more insanity coming out of Paso Robles. Where did the water shortage go? What will they do with increased traffic on already crowded and unmaintained surface streets? Will the existing sewer plant handle all the new building? It is yet another round of unnecessary growth destined to ruin the wine country attraction and make the county an overcrowded, unplanned sprawl. Where are the sane voices calling out this never-ending train wreck in the city and county?"

  • "Excellent job by SB County. But the real story here is that fentanyl overdose deaths in the county have dropped by 40% in the last two years (outpacing the national average of 25%) because of prevention, treatment services and strong enforcement, as in this case. https://www.sbsheriff.org/santa-barbara-county-reports-significant-decline-in-overdose-deaths/"
