Read MoreCalifornia 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.

Read MoreMill 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.
Read MoreThe 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.

Read MoreMarin IJ: County Lands $26 Million Windfall Via ‘Higher than Expected Revenue’
The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates relatively high as a means of cooling inflation, which spiked to 8% in 2022. In addition to pandemic-induced kinks in supply chains, two trillion-dollar spending bills passed during the Biden administration have been cited as probable causes of the rise in inflation. Marin County benefited at both ends of the equation, since it received a $50 million share of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act economic stimulus bill.
Read MoreEditorial via Seattle Times Editorial Board: US Senate Should Step up to Protect Journalists
The U.S. Senate has little time left in this tumultuous year but it must make sure to pass the PRESS Act. Dubbed “Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act,” the broadly supported bill would ensure federal protection for journalists. It would prevent authorities from abusing subpoena powers and protect reporters from being forced to reveal their sources. Similar press protections already exist in 49 states, including all states along the West Coast. Yet at the federal level, reporters are protected by a loose patchwork of court decisions and limited, impermanent administrative decrees.
