This is a project that has been progressing through versions for the last year at Disney California Adventure. It appears the resort has landed on a system that will work for them. The new gates allow guests to scan their own tickets and take a photo if one is not on file, allowing entrance with a valid park ticket and reservation. The new system should cut down on the amount of cast needed at the entrance to the parks and could result in faster entry for experienced guests. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout A missing element has returned to the Jungle Cruise. The temple that the Bengal Tiger was housed in has been restored. The previous show scene was removed after the elements and time had taken it's toll. After almost a year and considerable work, the restored scene looks great. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout Another update at Disneyland has happened at Pixie Hollow. The lagoon area has been under construction for months, with no clear explanation on what was being done. Now that the walls have come down, we know that a new fountain and water features were being installed. Little themed elements have returned to the area, and the painted blue lagoon looks refreshing and clean. The meet and greet area is still under refurbishment. – Disneyland Update – Tiger Unleashed, Gate Update & Legal Fallout Cast members who were working at the resort when Measure L was passed will be getting some back pay. Measure L is the Anaheim minimum wage law. Cast members who were not being paid the Anaheim minimum wage, which took place over five years(!) will get 100% of their back wages, including overtime, minus tax withholdings, along with 10% interest on those payments. – https://www.micechat.com/406206-disneyland-update-tiger-unleashed-gate-update-legal-fallout/ Discussion Topic: Disney Treasure Preview Cruise with ConciEARs Cassie AgundesPHOTOS: Tour the Disney Treasure's Tomorrow Tower and Royal Suites!

Breaking down California's tough-on-crime measure Prop 36. Also, an update on the 2022 voter-approved Sacramento Children's Fund: Measure L. Finally, the parking lot saga at Trader Joe's. Breaking Down Prop 36

Proposition L, a tax measure on the November ballot, is intended to give businesses incentive to change their pay structure to bring executive compensation more in line with workers’. Revenue from the measure, if passed, is expected to range from $60 million to $140 million a year. Sarah Anderson, who directs the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies and researches Wall Street reform, CEO pay, taxes, labor and international trade and investment, said the proposal would set an example and would target a business practice that contributes to inequality.

A look at what's happening in the south valley, agriculture news, followed by a chat with Porterville resident and parent, Austin Slater. He gives us his thoughts on Measure L, and why he supports the $33.4 million bond to improve and modernize Porterville Unified's elementary and middle schools.

On this episode, I chat with Matt Beinke of Blackhawk Nunn on their proposed development in the City of Brentwood which has become Measure L. To build 2,400 homes while preserving open space with Save Mount Diablo. We get into what this project would accomplish, dispell some of the rumors and online rumblings in an effort to provide accurate and truthful information. Beinke also says if Brentwood says "no", they are going to Antioch.   01:50 – Beinke explains what happens next if Brentwood Measure L Fails.  He then gets into what happens if Antioch says no. 03:47 – We chat about Measure L and what it actually does. How did Blackhwak Nunn come up with this specific project which actually began in the late 1980’s. 06:28 – Beinke provides and overview of what Measure L would provide for the City of Brentwood. 09:28 – We talk about how this land is currently unincorporated Contra Costa and its up to Brentwood or Antioch and who wants to control it. 10:20 – We get into Antioch’s urban limit line and The Ranch Project and this assumption Antioch has already said no. Roddy Ranch was approved by voters for 700-800 homes, which is now owned by East Bay Regional Park District—building permits, property tax revenue, sales tax, jobs, infrastructure is now lost. 12:10 – How this project will have no impact on Antioch if approved, this is basically a windfall of unexpected money at millions of dollars. Beinke highlights there is interest and cities would not pass this up due to infrastructure improvements. 14:02 – Beinke explains how the East Contra Costa Fire Department got involved in this project and included with funding and what they get out of project. 19:45 – Beinke explains the California Highway Patrol (CHP) concern and people are taking it out of context and what their letter means in the EIR.  Explains it’s a comment letter, which is why the Brentwood Police Officers Association supports Measure L. 22:01 – Brentwood Police Officer Association endorsement, now people in the community have turned nasty towards Brentwood POA. Others are also being attacked for their position on Measure L. 26:20 – Are members of the community of Brentwood overlooking the needs of senior housing? 29:07 – We get into how this 590-home design came about and where it came from and why are people touting this? Beinke explains this property was zoned for 3-houses per acre in 2014 through General Plan Update. 31:20 – with Seth Adams (Save Mount Diablo) confirming this land was always in the plans to be developed for over 30-years, with the city council approving development on the land in 2014, why would Brentwood residents say “no” and basically tell Antioch to take it? 33:30 – Beinke explains the on-site open space on the property within Measure L and what they plan to do with it—explains how this is an open space amenity through the homeowners association. 35:45 – Why should Shadow Lakes residents want this project? 38:20 – American Avenue, what does it get built and is it the first thing to be done in this plan? Beinke says American Avenue and Balfour Road improvements are in phase 1 and will begin immediately.  We get into the false bait and switch claims on social media and how a lot of the claims are false because this plan is in the measure and protections are in place. We get into how a strong city council and planning commission become the referees for the project. 41:30 – If Measure L does not pass, Beinke says again they are going to Antioch. 43:25 – I get into how I believe Blackhawk Nunn has been responsible in their developments and communities while protecting open space—Summerset and Trilogy are just two examples. Says most of the homes in Brentwood had to be annexed in like they are trying to do now. 45:55 – We get into the false rhetoric of how adding more housing will lower home values, Beinke breaks down how that is not true. 49:00 – I close by encouraging everyone to get educated on the issue and make an educated decision because its more complex than more houses or vehicles on the road. I encourage community leaders, city council members, planning commissioners and school board members to step up and let the community know where they stand.

On this episode, I chat with Seth Adams of Save Mount Diablo on Brentwood Measure L. Adams is Land Conservation Director for Save Mount Diablo. In 1988 he was the East Bay organization’s first staff. He focuses on advanced policy, land use, and advocacy; government relations; acquisition projects; and educational and media programs. 01:27 – Seth Adams gives a little background on who he is an what Save Mount Diablo is about 03:25 – Adams explains they don’t’ control development, but tries to ensure public benefic while protecting sensitive areas. Importance how Urban Limit Lines require a vote of the public. 05:20 – Explains how preserving land is a big picture approach. Importance of playing chess with big stakes of land values and land development. They are working to protect land and make it a better place to live. 06:37 – Adams explains how Measure L is actually a culmination of 30-years of talks and the only piece of land in the Ginocchio properties of 7,000 acres they wish to develop is the land proposed between Antioch and Brentwood. Adams explains how this land will not be a park or is highly sensitive land allowing them to have an environmental net gain in environmental land while strengthening the urban limit line. 09:48 – How does Save Mount Diablo work through preserving land versus the need for much needed housing?  Explained importance of smart growth and urban limit lines. 11:30 – Adams answers whether or not the land proposed in Measure L will be developed. Adams says the land has been planned to be built on for over 30-years.  Explains how much land they were able to save over the years. 14:10 – We discuss Measure L. Adams explains the biggest misconceptions of the land. Adams explains why residents should care about the protected land and protection of Marsh Creek Watershed. 16:30 – What people are getting wrong about Measure L.  Adams explains this is about guiding development. 19:26 – Adams answers what happens if Brentwood says no, claims anyone who says Antioch is not interested in this land, is not being realistic. Says this property has been in the planning area for both Antioch and Brentwood for 30-years. Explains how Brentwood has a track record for ensuring senior housing while Antioch approves it and changes it later. Says level of assurances in Brentwood will be higher than in Antioch. 24:30 – what are the real consequences of Measure L. 25:07 – Adams explains Measure L is about what Brentwood wants for its future. Save Mount Diablo monitors about 50 projects. 27:30 – We discuss what Save Mount Diablo has accomplished over 30-years which land lock East Contra Costa County. Explains how they are proud of protecting 50,000 acres of land. Explains the amount of land they have worked to protect. 31:13 – Adams explains Measure L, how this property is in the path of development, its not a matter of “if” but rather a question of “when”.  So they worked to create the best deal they could get to protect the most land as possible calling it a once in a lifetime opportunity. Urges residents to vote “yes” to protect open space.
