Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

The article in the SM Times today needs some clarification. On first glance the reader is led to believe that the City came up with the wonderful "$32 solution" to fund the crossing guards. Absolutely emphatically wrong. The creative and caring members of the Citizens for a Better Burlingame jumped into help the School District and the "$32 solution" was born. Additionally the CBB has paid for the "$32 solution" flyers out of their own funds. We are all working towards keeping our children safe BUT please give credit where credit is due.

    You forgot to mention that the flyers had to be reprinted because the Mayor did not like some of the wording and permission was not given to send the monies to the City Manager. All this baloney proves once again that the best of motives gets stiffled by insane politics!

  2. How did the San Mateo Times mess this up so badly? We need them to send back the last young reporter who was a stickler for detail or train the new ones. Let’s hope it happens before the campaigns start or it could be a mess out there. These guys are usually very good–must be a rookie error

  3. Dan Anderson needs to be given a lot of credit for keeping this issue alive. We sent in a check and promptly received a very nice acknowledgement/thank you from CBB-thanks to Dan. Without CBB and Dan-there would be no money coming in to help fund the crossing guards.

  4. Dan has been the co-head of the CBB and there are many many dedicated volunteers who have helped out with the $32 solution and other CBB projects. Volunteers designing posters, volunteers who print the flyers, volunteers who run the website, volunteers who deliver the flyers and volunteers who designed and wrote the thank you letters. It is truly a group effort by people who take the time out of their busy lives to help out. Thank you, Linda, for acknowledging that the CBB is working hard to get things done! It can only be a success because of the group effort.
