The Eureka Reporter is whinning correctly. Basketball update.

How many millions of tax payer dollars will the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors have to waste before the people of Humboldt County ask for accountability? The Eureka Reporter - Article $300,000 for Tammy Falor, Over $600,000 for a flawed Redevelopment process and well over $500,000 and counting on Tooby Ranch fiasco! And answer to nobody! Hide behind the cloak of "Closed Session" and of course, the threat of litigation under strict (BS these rules are trampled all the time) guidelines of the Brown Act. Times-Standard Online - County appealing land decision

Closed sessions are contentious and their legality is always questioned because guidelines are not set in stone! Give me a break! Our tax dollars are on the line and wasted.

Oh yes Mr. Marks. If you have a gripe about how we do business at the county level, get proactive!

Yes, I was not happy and ran for the Supervisor office of my district. And lost. I guess not as many people care.


The mighty Samoa Athletic Club Basketball Team is 2-1. We played Big Louie's Pizza tonight and won by 2 points. Ben Horton and David Norton were great tonight in a battle against Vince Zinselmeir. We tied for the City Championship last year with this team. My goal was for no turnovers by this old man relieving Horton and I met that. Between both teams we had over 40 fouls. It was a rough game.

Both teams were good sports though, and I thank Eureka Parks and Rec for the venue.

maybe the eureka reporter wouldn't have as much to be whining about the county's lawyer problems if their owner would stop manufacturing legal headaches such as "humboldt sunshine."

Barry Oliver wants a practice game between your over 50 softball team and his.

Really too bad you weren't elected. BOS needed change but the blind in Eureka couldn't see it.

Interesting that they went into closed session on Tuesday and "redid" the Falor settlement. Was that because the prior closed session violated the Brown Act? Wanted to watch the BOS tape last night but somehow instead of the BOS it was Arcata City Council that was being shown. Seems like every time something would/could be embarrasing to the BOS "something" happens to the tape and it can't be shown. Fess up - who ate the tape??

Bonnie ate it!

Explains why she wasn't at the afternoon session. Takes a while to eat the tape.

When is Rodoni going to resign?

Probably when he's dead.

I thought he was dead? Brain I mean.

He must be pretty smart to hold the job he has for so long. Where else can you work around here for such good pay and benefits without having to do much of anything?

Winning, whining, or wienering?
