It’s all about money. The local and out of town trout fishermen bring in a lot of revenue to the county, and in the process, get to relax and enjoy life.
But, there is a steep price to pay for their enjoyment.
First of all, there is a definite opposition from the fish and wildlife biologists to trout rearing and planting.
Their philosophy is that such practices disrupt the natural balance of nature and causes big problems for the eco-system.
Kudos to Michael Raimondo and Matt Lehman for being the only responsible council members who voted to impose the penalties and interest in regards to a home being illegally rented out nightly.
As a local, I feel ripped off.
For the other council members who voted to allow the owners Kevin and Carolynn Cozen to not have to pay on the penalties and interest, when they fully knew and basically admitted they were renting their home illegally, should resign.
The TOT remitting, fine, and late-fee paying members of the Mammoth Lakes Lodging Association want an explanation!
At last Wednesday’s Town Council meeting, you heard the first of what will no doubt be many appeals from homeowners who have been renting their single family home out illegally.
I am writing about the Alaska Airlines Snow Pack, which was heavily advertised late last year as discount airline tickets available between LAX and Mammoth Lakes.
My boyfriend John and I were both quite excited about his being able to fly to Mammoth many weekends this winter and to enjoy all that Mammoth has to offer, and we bought each other a 10-flight snow pack for $570 for Christmas.
Two weekends ago, the community of June Lake proved that it is the Little Town that Could.
Faced with an economically challenging winter, the June Lake Revitalization Committee set off to develop some animation-generating events and activities. These have required collaboration and cooperation from many community members. The June Lake Winter Festival and Triple Threat Triathlon, held Feb. 1 to 3, really proved how great things can happen if we all work together.
Wild Iris would like to say thank you to the communities of Inyo and Mono counties for your generosity and support.
Whether you’ve been a long-time supporter, or you’re relatively new to the Wild Iris family, your monetary gifts, as well as those of time and talent, have made a tremendous difference in the lives of those we serve.
As a boy scout in the early 60s, I learned gun safety and how operate a single shot .22 rifle—promoted by the National Rifle Association.
At that time, the NRA was owned and operated by law abiding gun owners who understood what was appropriate for ownership and use.
Today there are only 12 million of those members so it is important to ask how the NRA has $200 million to lobby against laws that might influence the availability of guns.
