Morro Bay's Sewer Plod Lampooned By Shredder

Well, Los Osos is not the only local town to have had a sewage problem, and not just literally, as in leaking pipes, but in that striking lack of action one could equate to clogged plumbing be it hairballs, or one's personal, blocked alimentary canal. The New Times brilliant and snarky wit-meister, the Shredder, takes Morro Bay to task this time, offering some verbal Dulcolax.

Have a fun read, as long as you are not eating. (Pooping is permissible, but that is a matter of taste.)

Government Shutdown Impacts the LOWWP

The New Times' latest issue which came out today has a story on the impacts of the government shutdown to our county.

Sad, sad, sad that this happened, not simply for our project as the broader picture is far worse.

Read the New Times story here and look for the heading, Effects on local government:
