"Editor: After observing the first planning workshop in Murphys I am more convinced than ever that the Calaveras Board of Supervisors must act now to terminate the contract with Mintier Harnish and end this monkey motion. Since 1916 in New York when the first zoning ordinance was passed it was obvious that zoning ordinances were not perfect. Sometimes requirements cannot be met and best use of land languishes because of a parcel’s peculiarities or un-anticipated changes in the neighborhood, the economy or demographics.

Copperopolis, CA...I think everyone wants good dependable health care and health insurance for catastrophic events. I know I do. Many would prefer a plan whereby all health care is covered by an affordable monthly payment. Before exploring the use of compulsion in health care, that is, government forcing people to accept its determination of what health care we will have, we should identify exactly what we mean by “Health Care”. Obviously, health care is provided first by family and then by paid nurses, doctors and other experts selling their services in the medical marketplace.

Governor Proposes Tax on Insurance. Legislative Analysts Office Has Issued Report on Insurance Surcharge Proposed to Fund Emergency Response
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/08/2010 05:20 PM
Sacramento, CA...New Surcharge Proposal. The Governor proposes to levy a surcharge on all residential and commercial property insurance policies in the state. The surcharge rate would be 4.8 percent of the premium amount. The administration estimates that such a surcharge would generate about $238 million in the budget year and about $480 million per year thereafter. How the New Revenues Would Be Used. As shown in Figure 10, revenues from the proposed surcharge would be used to offset $200 million of General Fund costs in the budget year. In subsequent years with full-year surcharge revenues, the revenues would be used to offset General Fund costs ($219 million) and to augment state program expenditures ($73 million) in three emergency response departments (primarily CalFire). ..

So we either had to make an hour round trip to check email and post stories or try and relax and follow the team as we came there to do. We chose Plan B and that is why no posts were made on the site for a short stretch. All of the kids skied well and our local Bear Valley Team had numerous first place and podium finishes.....
