Why would an incumbent City Council member not inform the community that he/she was not going to run for re-election? Leaving it to the last minute to disclose whiffs of cronyism. There could be a legitimate personal reason however.
Under Measure G, an increase was added to our property tax bill of 2% annually based on the previous year’s Measure G amount – this occurred each of the 8 years. Under Measure H, I expect an annual property tax increase of 3% to be added to the previous property tax Measure H amount during…
From Piedmont Post – 05/13/2026
As a parent of multiple children who started at Havens Elementary and are now attending Piedmont Middle and Piedmont High, I am voting a firm NO on Measure H. If you read the letters of support in the Piedmont Exedra and Piedmont Post, you will notice a glaring trend: all the praise is heaped on…

We can expect a 3% yearly, since PUSD’s BAC has always implemented the max increase. Other than the blatant gaslighting and dishonesty of the “Not a tax increase” rhetoric, Measure H is flawed…
The eagles have returned to Piedmont and so have the oak trees, or so city staff would have you believe. After its disrespectful closure of the Linda Dog Park, city staff is rolling out the narrative that Piedmont is better for it: “With paths and benches open, the park offers a rare opportunity to watch…
