THIS IS AN ARCHIVE OF LAKE TAHOE NEWS, WHICH WAS OPERATIONAL FROM 2009-2018. IT IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RESEARCH. THE WEBSITE IS NO LONGER UPDATED WITH NEW ARTICLES.
I believe that the question should be more like: what services can be consolidated to save the taxpayer money? Or, what services can be consolidated due to redundancy at both city and county levels?
However, is sure looks like police, fire and road maintenance could be done by El Dorado County. There is total redundancy in these departments that could be more effective if handled by the County. This would eliminate waste on the administrative and management side. It should also be more effective due to scale. Larger and more flexible workforce to cover the same areas.
Need to take a good long look at the decrease in property tax assessments after the board is done meeting this week.
Might be time to look at chapter nine BK for the city.

Now for something relevant…
The fed and the big bankers associated with it has mismanaged the economy and created product after product designed (derivatives) designed to create commissionable transactions…
These products have inflated the value of the worlds economy by some estimates over 60 trillion dollars.
Ouch, to quote Melissa Etheridge

Eliminate the TRPA as after 30 years it is unclear what on earth they have done, the town is crippled by useless over regulation, boats are everywhere and the lake looks like hell.
