KGO-TV (Channel 7) covered a meeting of the the San Carlos Transportation and Circulation Commission last night when the commission discussed the Public Works department’s proposal of turning off half of San Carlos’s street lights to save money.

Residents featured in the video segment are against the proposal, as is the White Oaks Neighborhood Organization. Councilman Matt Grocott also expressed that he does not approve of the proposal, and he suggested seeking other areas to cut, such as City employees’ salaries. Thank you, Matt.

Sources at the meeting tell us that the commissioners blamed the residents of San Carlos for not passing Measure U (as if newcomers aren’t already paying very high property taxes to begin with), and that they took issue with our blog “disparaging” them.  (Note to commissioner:  On Google, search for “US Constitution, First Amendment.” And we don’t disparage anyway.)
