Kranz buddy wins Republican Central Committee seat
From the Inbox:
The results are in for the Republican County Central Committee but one
major question remains….how do 18,000 people know Garvin Walsh?
How will the other Republican Central Committee members handle a close ally of the big-spending, tax-raising, natural-gas-banning, woke-DEI-pushing, far-left mayor of Encinitas? Walsh is buddy-buddy enough with Mayor Tony Kranz to be receiving private e-mail forwards from Kranz of constituent e-mails.
Also note that both Mark and Maureen Muir lost after their dirty tricks robocall fallout with the local Republican party.

City Council hires consultant to raise sales tax
Encinitas officials are exploring the idea of raising the city’s sales tax from 7.75 percent to 8.75 percent. It’s estimated this could generate $15.4 million a year. City officials have said they would like to use the money to pay for much-need improvements to the city’s roadways, drainage systems and other infrastructure.The last time the council tried to raise the sales tax was 2014, when the progressives were thwarted by the lack of a supermajority on the council.
Several council members said Feb. 28 that there were strong reasons for them to support raising the sales tax, but said they wanted to conduct additional research before making a decision about the ballot measure. They agreed to approve spending up to $103,500 for additional consulting work and other assistance related to the project.
