The Board met last night and gave direction to the administration on building our 2009-2010 budget. Although it is technically not approved until the middle of June, barring any singificant swing in the State’s already awful financial situation, I suspect we are close to having a final budget. In my opinion, we have a pretty [...] Although it is not reflected on the San Mateo County website last time I checked, the passage of Measure B is finally certified.

This is an all mail-in election, and the ballots must be received (not postmarked) by the elections office by May 5th. So if you haven’t mailed in your ballot yet, it is too late.
