Biomass facility needed
Great idea. Long time coming. Disposal fees at the dump are at an all-time high. The question is where to put the biomass facility. Lots of NIMBYs in Tahoe.

Why is it taking so long?
Why can’t anything ever come to fruition in this town? Vacant ten years?!! Such a waste. I remember the survey. Even that was six years ago. I just want them to make something happen! Couldn’t there be a collaboration between Siren Arts and CWI? Art and science at the lake sounds good to me!

Siren Arts proposal best benefit to the community
Thank you for covering this topic. I strongly believe the uses put forward by Siren Arts would have a much more long-term benefit for the local community. I don’t support a new player in the game that is not being [required] to go through the same process as the other proposals.

Don’t skip the process
I thought the Siren Arts proposal was great — and would add something of value for the community. Leapfrogging the community involvement and pushing a fledgling Bay Area nonprofit to the front of the line does not serve the community.

Risk of cancellation if filing a claim
Excellent article on insurance. I think the worst part is the concern that if you file a claim, your policy won’t be renewed. Companies are looking for excuses and opportunities to drop policyholders in our area due to wildfire risk.

Profit over people
General Plan?? Make more money, screw the old locals and rape the environment for profit seems to be their mantra.

Potholes are people too
My daughter and I named all the potholes on West River Street and Donner Pass Road. She would say hi to them on her way to school and then again on the way home. They eventually all had personalities, too.
