And thank you to the squeaky wheel neighbors for bringing this issue forward so everyone can watch them do the perp walk.SHAME ON YOU!

That video was so white it made my teeth hurt.

It blows my mind that the river lodge has been allowed to lose 1 million. I would call it some sort of malpractice on the part of Fortuna city government, …

Why would we leave during the best time of the year here!?

Some family of mine got married and had the reception there.

You have probably never been to Fortuna then. Museum is in Rohner Park and River Lodge is along the bank of the Eel River on Riverwalk Drive. You need to …

The ADA generally accepts electronic accommodation as long as it’s an equal experience. Is renovating the whole campus necessary or can they start offering online access to all classes? MIT …

$40k for a phone system is an outright scam. This should be no more than $10k. I’ve overseen this kind of project before. Fortuna might be able to save some …

Did his role as the general manager at Schmidbauer Building Supply provide him access to contractor who illegally dumped all that construction rubble? Real question. Who has access to that …

Schmidbauer is the worst.

Don’t expect this DA to ever prosecute someone so well-connected. It’s been clear since her initial campaign that Eads is bought and paid for.

They already do that, but it won’t stop the lawsuits.

I picked up a relative from there (River Lodge) one year. Nice looking place.

Mike Wilson is an excellent choice for this position with a long history of support for trails. Well done Sups.

I was in the room for this discussion and found it rather awkward that two supervisors were vying for a position and also listening to other applicants. And Rex Bohn’s …

I applaud Fortuna for really looking at the issue, even if some of the solutions are unpalatable. Curious, though, why Trent would vote no on asking HTA to operate Dial-a-Ride …

Right. See, this is why I’m not an authority on it like you. Just an average Ang.

He’s a liability. It’d be neat if somebody that wasn’t prone to the silliest of conspiracies would run against him.

Too bad they didn’t jump on board to get those cannabis tax dollars!

Tidal influence reaches miles upriver as water is backed up (and sediment deposited) during high tides. That sediment continues to accrete upstream. Caltrout is doing much more than eliminating blackberries …

Huh? This was Caltrout’s idea and they are perfectly capable of getting this project done! The Yurok Tribe has the skill to implement the project and could be hired to …

Water that gets backed up behind natural log jams results in sediment depositing on the floodplain instead of in the channel. Also, removing log jams results in large pulses of …

I am a scientist and absolutely know what is happening upriver. However, just like a plugged toilet, if you don’t remove the clog it doesn’t matter if you stop shitting …

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” In an area that sensitive, CDFW could have sent someone to check on the construction weekly and it would have …

“MARK OF THE BEAST” !

Sell this, buy that… basically we are just improvising here… while tax money is drying up…What happened with the city trying to buy 244 acres right next to the River …

Hover craft sounds like fun. I’ll hover craft over the bay to Eureka next time I need to go to Costco.

I’m from Arcata and I’ve never heard of the River Lodge nor the Depot Museum before.

I haven’t seen this one; purple ones are everywhere, yellow ones are in the Arcata Community Forest, but not these. They’re beautiful little things.
