Open Letter From Mike Fullaway to City of Angels Camp on Problems with Rezoning for Potential Tractor Supply Location
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/17/2018 11:58 AM
Angels Camp, CA...Calaveras & Sonora Lumber owner Mike Fullaway has submitted an open letter to the City of Angels Camp on potential rezoning problems. The summary is as follows and the complete letter follows the summary. "This zoning ordinance appears to be a back-door way of permitting retail uses in districts that were not intended to accommodate retail, but were intended for light industrial and office uses that support good-paying jobs. To do this under the guise of passing a zoning ordinance consistent with the General Plan is disingenuous and misleading. I am requesting a postponement on any rezoning decision until the City Attorney reviews these facts and makes a determination whether this ordinance is subject to CEQA.

There's Still Time to Contribute to an IRA for 2017 ~ From Brian J. Tewksbury
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/14/2018 11:37 AM
Murphys, CA....There's still time to make a regular IRA contribution for 2017! You have until your tax return due date (not including extensions) to contribute up to $5,500 for 2017 ($6,500 if you were age 50 by December 31, 2017). For most taxpayers, the contribution deadline for 2017 is April 17, 2018. You can contribute to a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, or both, as long as your total contributions don't exceed the annual limit (or, if less, 100% of your earned income). You may also be able to contribute to an IRA for your spouse for 2017, even if your spouse didn't have any 2017 income.

Posted by: thepinetree on 04/13/2018 03:47 PM
Washington, DC...Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) today released the below statement regarding the current status of the Administration’s policy toward legal marijuana. In response to the Department of Justice’s January 4th announcement that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had rescinded the Cole Memorandum, Senator Gardner placed a hold on all DOJ nominees until he received a commitment that Colorado’s rights would not be infringed. After positive discussions with DOJ, Gardner lifted some of his holds but kept the rest in place until he received a full commitment that the guidelines of the Cole Memo would be respected.
