A Different Slant 070: Quick City Tour
Host John Flavin reveals the less than gentile approach county planners have used on the unincorporated areas of San Rafael regarding bearing the burden of the County’s Housing Element. His next grenade is a review of the Sausalito Art Festival. . . and whether it has lost its way. His next focus is on the Planning Commission’s maneuver to place the burden of environmental impact reports on the individual versus the city. Finally he gives an update on the status of the possible candidates for the three city council seats up this November.

A Different Slant 069: Mileage Tax
Host John Flavin is horrified by the decision of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments to go forward with a study of a mileage tax on Bay Area drivers, which could potentially raise $15 million a day. The implementation of this tax would require the installation of a GPS-like odometer in every car to track mileage. . . and your daily activities. Big Brother, anyone? John urges his listeners to contact their elected officials and nip this study in the bud. John shudders to think what else the Commission and Association have up their sleeves. . .

A Different Slant 068: Aged EIR
Host John Flavin points out the reasons the City of Sausalito should not rely on a seventeen year old Environment Impact Report to satisfy the California Environmental Quality Act’s requirements for the proposed Housing Element. Too much has changed with respect to both the law and the Sausalito environment to rely on this aged report.

He encourages the citizens not to “San Bernadino” Sausalito.

A Different Slant 062: Antidote for Political Correctness
Host John Flavin cites Ray Bradbury, George Carlin and Moses (aka Charlton Heston) in support of his argument that political correctness is nothing less than polite censorship. He notes examples from Don Rickles and Chris Rock to illustrate his case. He urges you to do something politically incorrect today to keep the flames from reaching Fahrenheit 451, the burning point for paper.
