The event people have waited for, for years has finally happened. Team Gaines attempted to make it happen quietly, but your intrepid blogger has excellent sources. Someday, I do hope to tell the back story of how it happened as Steve Davey's out of control life...
Much has been made about the Placer County Transportation Agency hiring a local PR firm to send mail and conducting town-hall meetings floating the idea of a Transportation Sales Tax Increase measure on the local ballot. We have written here several times that our...
Beth Gaines is running for El Dorado County Supervisor. Here is the link showing $102k in her account. Beth Gaines was running for Board of Equalization in 2018. This account was closed after a fundraiser or two and moved to her Assembly Account. (That account is...
Nothing. The Placer Parkway has been in the planning stages for 15 years and the Whitney Ranch Parkway Interchange is the first, very first piece of a project expected to take 12(!) years to complete. The last 15 years have been spent lining the pockets of...
I guess word is getting out (finally), but not after the PAC Donors in all their brilliance helped foist a second Gaines on the North State. In a column entitled, "The Mouse Roars at Tesla Rebate" - Dan Morain just blew up Ted Gaines. Those of us that have not...
