Even Barack Obama would say that any taxes he proposes are absolutely necessary.

Keep that quiet. If word of this gets out then Atherton may not be able to continue overpaying its police officers.

Widmer has been pushing this for three years. Paying lt liabilities is a good thing. Good for Atherton doing the right thing. Do they really a parcel tax???????
