Aug 30, 2010, by Pierluigi Oliverio Politics Comments (43)
I attended the first community meeting regarding the selection of the next San Jose Police Chief on Tuesday, Aug. 24 at the Roosevelt Community Center. Approximately 21 people attended. Attendees were divided into small groups to discuss five questions. I did not see any police officers however they may have been in attendance but remained anonymous.
Slowing Speeders and Implementing AB 321
Aug 23, 2010, by Pierluigi Oliverio Politics Comments (41)
Put aside the State’s raid of city funds for a moment and instead, lets be thankful for one of the best gifts cities have received from the state legislature…Assembly Bill 321 (AB321).
AB 321 allows cities the flexibility and discretion to lower speed limits on two-lane streets adjacent to public and private schools, which are currently posted at 25 miles per hour. For example, San Jose has many schools that are located in residential neighborhoods that have two lane roads with a 25mph speed. These streets may have the speeds lowered to 20mph or 15mph by implementing AB321. However,a school that is located on a four lane road would not be eligible, nor a school alongside a road that has a higher speed limit then 25 mph
From Last Place to First

As most of you are most likely aware from the front page article in the San Jose Mercury News on August 12, The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden was selected as America’s Best Rose Garden. What an incredible achievement! Congratulations and thanks to all involved including the paid park maintenance city staff and the non paid volunteers.
The rebirth of the Rose Garden could not have been done by only park maintenance staff or only by volunteers. It is the combination of both that allows for this fantastic achievement. And the leadership of Beverly Rose Hopper and Terry Reilly.
No Romance Without Finance

Did you ever have a romantic relationship with someone that tested you in one way or another? Maybe you or someone you know dated or are dating a person where at first the relationship was great. You were carefree and really enjoying yourself—but suddenly realized that some of your actions have consequences?
Pension Reform: Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace
Aug 02, 2010, by Pierluigi Oliverio Politics Comments (42)
The Rules Committee allowed my memo on Pension Reform to go before the City Council Tuesday, Aug. 3, to be considered as a ballot measure for San Jose voters this November. At the Rules Committee meeting, members of the public were few compared to the number of paid lobbyists that were in the audience.
