California Voice From Bob Stonebrook Via CalMatters: The best way to prepare for Trump is by fixing our state government

In 1969, Peter Drucker, the influential management consultant, author and educator, noted in the now-defunct Public Interest journal that the greatest factor in our “disenchantment” with government is that government has not performed. His remedy holds just as true today. Improvement in government requires, “the clear definition of the results a policy is expected to produce, and the ruthless examination of results against these expectations. This, in turn, demands that we spell out in considerable detail what results are expected rather than content ourselves with promises and manifestos.” Overcoming disenchantment requires achieving results.

California Could Offer Electric Vehicle Rebates to Cover the $7,500 Federal EV Credit, But Trump May Have Softened his Stance as Tesla CEO Elon Musk Became a Supporter and Adviser – TBD.

With the presidential transition moving quickly, a very different set of questions and possible solutions are presenting themselves: Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week that California will step in and provide rebates to eligible residents who buy electric vehicles if President-elect Donald J. Trump ends the $7,500 federal E.V. tax credit. “We will intervene if the Trump administration eliminates the federal tax credit, doubling down on our commitment to clean air and green jobs in California,” Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement. “We’re not turning back on a clean transportation future — we’re going to make it more affordable for people to drive vehicles that don’t pollute.”

Mill Valley City Manager Todd Cusimano Delivers a Blunt Message to PG&E About Company’s Alto Substation Work and Extended Use of Generators

Ultimately, PG&E presented us with two options: maintain 24/7 generator power during the 11-day upgrade or face major power outages for Mill Valley, the Tamalpais Community Services District, Tiburon, Belvedere, and Sausalito. The City prioritized the needs of its residents by opting to maintain power, recognizing that a prolonged outage would cause significant disruption to daily life. In making this decision, the City strongly advocated for PG&E to conduct extensive community outreach and implement measures to mitigate the project’s impacts.

The Hiker’s Trail Map is Back! With Help From a Group of Dedicated Volunteers, Mill Valley History Society Installed a New & Improved Painted Mt. Tamalpais Hikers Trail Map

The Mill Valley Historical Society installed a new and improved map in the same location as its predecessor on November 15, along with updated historic signage telling its story. The old trail map, painted on redwood siding in 1946, had been protected for approximately 50 years hidden away under siding in its previous location at Clark’s Grocery. When the store was demolished for new development, MVHS procured the map and in 2018, after obtaining agreements from Mill Valley stakeholders, a restored trail map was installed on the wall of 34 Miller. It did not hold up well to weather in its new location, however, and a team of volunteers determined in summer 2024 that it wasn’t feasible to save the original map and replicating the original with new protection was our best choice.
