A the money for the dredging where part of federal matching funds. The city had to come up with monies that where matched by the feds.No stimulous was ever used for the bay.As far as the senior center if it start under Young as you claim, Santos voted for the project,and during his time as mayor did nothing to make sure that the senior population could use it.The 2milion dollars
spent in the Marina for a few boats(very
few) could have operated the senior center for several years.Tavares maybe you can search the minutes for the dredging deal and post the minutes here.
His wife is German,but Santos is of descended Portuguese.

Divide 2 million by the number of boats for your answer. The money came from stimulus funds.
Senior center never should have been built, blame Sheila Young for ramming that through.
And probably because his wife is from Germany.

When you have Santos on, please ask him the following.: what is the return per boat on the 2 million dollar dredging of the bay?,why is the senior center not open?, as of yesterday at 434pm the lights were on but no one home…..like the city council that goes dark in August. And why does he speak only german and not portuguese?
Thanks for your enlightenment with Santos

A good topic for discussion would be the vanity license plate on Supervisor Gail Steele's car, which reads “Peh Meh”, as in “Pay Me”.

Thank you! We'll have a new show every Friday like clockwork from now on. In coming weeks, the last section of the show will be a sitdown interview. Mayor Santos and Sara Mestas have already agreed and hopefully we can book all the candidates at some time before November.
By the way, does anybody know the title of the song that leads into the third segment on Joyce Starosciak? Nick Terry will buy you a steak dinner if you know.

ST NET, most enjoyable broadcast. I was worried that your weekly broadcast was as shortlived as NET's run against the Evil Korean Hayashi. Good to see that you have now had 2 broadcasts in a month. Production values are good. You did not cover Chris Pareja's insurgent campaigning at the Zucchini festival and instead went after Joyce. What about Sara Mestas? She has to be as relevant. She at least made cross walks happen and an ice cream social. Stay a Blog and do not be a real journalist. There is always a need for comic relief. Lord knows that there is nothing funny about San Leandro.

Nice broadcast, funny stuff.
Maybe if Joyce had listened to the city attorney and kept her nose out of Heron Bays business she wouldnt be crying.
