Council People, Sanctuary city, again! Lawsuit? You are using taxpayers money to pick a fight with the Feds. How smart is that? A few years back mayor R.M. Told me in no uncertain terms that Menlo was NOT going to become a sanctuary city. A month later it was a "safe city". City funds pissed awa...

According to the last sentence in Mr. Shenkman’s letter, “Please advise us no later than October 3, 2017 as to whether you would like to discuss a vol...
I am writing to add my concerns over the proposal for rebuilding the Menlo Park Main Library that was prompted by Mr. Arrillaga’s funding offer.
