    Update: I just wrote my article and am uploading videos. Yes, videos. My article is so harsh that I need a day to think it over. Please be patient as I'm sure a lot of you will bash me in the comments and I need to make sure my skin is leather. Thank you for your understanding.

    Original Article:

    What I just witnessed with the Town Council disappointed me to no end. I will write an article about the situation tomorrow but the meeting was a disgrace.

    Not only is the Town wasting a butt-load of money to hold an election (yes, I said butt-load) but they are allowing people to skirt the process. Nice job TC. Bravo!

    And, before I publish my article tomorrow, there were more than just 2 potential candidates who pulled papers -- what about them? I guess they don't matter because they were never even mentioned in the paper.

    I have stayed out of this matter because I was waiting to see who actually filed before I wrote an article on TC candidates. Now, I get to write an article about how wrong the     ...

    During last night's Town Council meeting, the TC unanimously voted to approve Chipotle. While this is great news, I do need to gripe a little. I just can't help myself.

    According to the staff report, one of the stipulations includes, "The service of beer and margaritas is permitted only with meals. A meal is defined as a combination of food items selected from a menu (Breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner). Appetizers such as popcorn, nachos, pretzels, potato skins, relish trays, etc. (hot or cold) are not meals. No separate bar is allowed and alcoholic beverage service is not allowed outside."

    Why does this Alcohol Policy annoy me? Well, a meal for me might be nachos. I don't eat a ton of food and who is justifying what my meal should consist of? Are the food police going to come around and make sure I've eaten my entire taco? Or, what if I want to split a burrito with someone -- do we have to split a drink as well? I mean, really, who comes up with this stuff? This is not a Chipotle issue; it's a Town of Los Gatos issue. Personally, I think it's     ...
