Atherton library supporters outspend foes
Atherton, posted by Editor, The Almanac Online, on Nov 12, 2012 at 3:50 pm

In the battle over whether or not Atherton should put a new library in Holbrook-Palmer Park, the committee working in support of ballot Measure F, which approves the park location, had not only spent far more money than its opponents had spent, but had also spent at least three times as much as it had raised as of Oct. 20, when the latest campaign-spending reporting period ended.

It's all about subterranean baby! Keep the parking/traffic/pollution/noise/cars underground at HBP park. Keep the serenity/calm/peace of the park.

Where is the Friends money coming from? Is it some of that "no cost to taxpayer" free money? It must be coming from outside Atherton but who or whom? The whole world wants to know.

To: Follow the Money,

Possible donors could be builers of the library-- maybe San Mateo County employees?

Who gives that much credit to a political campaign?

Who needs this library anyway? Ridiculous waste of private funds to build a monstrosity in our park where only 10% at best, of the population, has ever set foot in the old library.

Libraries sadly will be a thing of the past soon since digital books, Google, and the Internet information highway is upon us! At 60 I have an iPad with books on it and suspect that many of my generation do too! I see many older folks reading on their Kindles too.

Tearing down the Main House for a "library" is IMHO... ridiculous!

Finally, something for the FBI to investigate in Atherton!
