Did anyone attend the City sponsored planning workshop Wednesday night?

I've talked with two so far and am looking for others who took the time to attend.  I don't think the McClatchy News bothered to send anyone since we haven't seen any articles from them.

Name of Company: Complete Savings

Complete Savings links onto companies on the net. Some companies don't even know they have linked onto them. Stealing your information! Name, address, and even your credit card account!!!

 

Complete Savings stated to me that they have linked onto thousand's of companies. What are they selling? For 12 dollars a month you subscribe for coupon codes! On the phone I was told what company at the time that I bought into this. He told me I clicked on a rebate coupon! Now look at this, we have gone to coupon to rebate! Now why the heck would I buy coupons or a rebate!

I did NOT sign up for this! I did NOT give them my name or credit card number! I did Not even see a POPUP! Am I mad, you bet I am!

The first person I talked to, was stating they were not going to reinburse my account.  That I had to click on something. I told them I was contacting the News in my area. Let me talk to a manager now!

The Farm Beat: The Salt of the Earth

I got an e-mail today about TV chef Alton Brown’s new campaign about salt. Yes, salt, which comes in kosher and several other forms, as I learned from being married to The Bee’s food writer. So why is it in the Farm Beat blog? Because without salt, many of the crops from the valley wouldn’t taste so good. Think of almonds, tomatoes, cheese, sweet potatoes, etc. The campaign is co-sponsored by Cargill, which has produced salt in the mudflats around San Francisco Bay (part of our bioregion, right?)

The Farm Beat: High Tech and Low at World Ag Expo

The buildup has already started for the World Ag Expo, a February event in Tulare that’s billed as the biggest farm show on Earth. This includes the announcement of the top 10 new pieces of farm equipment. No. 1 is a GPS-equipped steering system for tractors. That’s followed by a harvesting bin inverter and a portable cooling station for farm workers. All great ideas, especially the last one. But I was most struck by No. 4, something called the Gripple T-Clip. You can use it to quickly fasten barbed wire to fenceposts. It’s nice to see that something so simple can make agriculture easier. And I’ve heard it said that the 19th century invention of barbed wire may have been the most important event in the settlement of the West, as it made it possible to confine cattle on big spreads.

The Bee Wins Law Suit: Is Print Media Really Concerned About Informing The Public

The print media often claims that its purpose is to provide information to the citizens. Does anyone believe this?

The Bee recently sued to obtain pension information on Stan County retired employees. Public employee are also citizens. Who agrees this information should be public information?

Since the print media has the ability to decide elections, sway peoples oppinions, and choose which facts it puts in a story or leaves out, should'nt they provide the salaries of all its staff and employees?

If the  print media were concerned about quality factual reporting, all papers would be free. If the goal of papers is to inform the public of what is occuring, then all papers should be free. The cost of making papers would be paid for by Ads.
