Coffee Party - Tracy Chapter

Election Day - Suds to YOU buster!

OK some of us are passionate about issues & candidates. Other folks don't even bother to get up out of their chair and cast a vote. Here's something new that started up just this year in San Francisco to encourage people to participate on Election Day.http://www.straightupvote.org/StraightUpVote/Welcome.htmlDrinking holes around town have gotten together and offered a drink - any drink - for the price of $0.50 if you…See More

Toll Roads in Tracy?

The Tri Valley Herald reports that some motorists traveling on I680 between highway 84 in Sunol and highway 237 in Milpitas will begin paying toll fees on Monday, September 20th.The way it will work is that individual motorists that have a FasTrak device may pull into the carpool lane. They will then be automatically charged something between $0.30 and $6.00 depending on the time of day.This new stretch of toll road is the first in what Bay Area transportation planners intend for most major Bay…See More

Local Government Does the Right Thing

Local government is doing the right thing but, unfortunately, we're not talking about Tracy.
