… For the latest in the continuing craziness in how extreme can we get on the issue of the U.S. border with Mexico, we turn once again to that ever-entertaining bunch at Escondido City Hall.
The same folks who have proven themselves big on big pay raises for themselves, the city manager and the city attorney, […]
Ever since some pinheads somewhere came up with the crazy idea, cameras tied into traffic lights have been popping up at intersections throughout North County.
Most places in North County have them; San Marcos does not, and likely won’t — thank goodness.
