all the politicians talk about more transparency in govt. but few walk the talk. and when they do they want you to pay dearly for the info that is public record.

these people work for us, not the other way around. secrecy in govt. makes it corrupt.

I second the comments about the RV. I have ridden past it everyday for the past 6 months. The Skate park across the street is starting to get some overnighters in another van or two. I think the camping was better and less visable for the homeless problem.

Too bad the county is shutting down the RV park. It could be utilized for the homeless to camp out.

I know Steve Hulme’s secret identity, but don’t worry Bikeboy, I won’t tell anyone.

Press releases? Press releases? We don’t need no stinking press releases, we need the truth!

EDITOR NOTE–The only value to being on “the list” is to be notified of press conferences, emergencies like fires and disasters, access to “operational” events as they unfold.

Hey – this Steven Hulme guy has UNCOMMON common sense!
(-;

Somebody called and left a message; essentially it was just an acknowledgment that they’d received my call.

Interestingly, I got 2 responses in the last 24 hours, for the email I sent in to BPD about Dave being “de-listed.” One from Spokesperson Hightower and one from Chief Masterson.

Their sincerety is a bit suspect, since the two messages were worded identically, except for a sentence or two. (They declared that BPD press releases are available not only to preferred media and “ene-media” like the Guardian, but to us ordinary Joe Lunchbox types, too, on the website. So there, Dave! They’ve got NOTHING to hide!)
