Commissioner Hill’s Tahoe Dreams Meet Budget Reality
Alexis Hill and her campaign team are running a Facebook ad accusing Masha Berkbigler of sending an “attack” piece against her. Hill has commented it is absolutely true, “I want our community to have public transit access to and around Lake Tahoe.” That’s great, but not what the graphic says.

This apple appears to be rotten, to the core: Berkbigler
Maybe Bob Lucey learned from Marsha Berkbigler, or maybe corruption runs in the bloodstream of some elected officials. Either way, we know from…
