This is a list of repairs requested by lawmakers in the final months before the state was forced to end a one of its kind perk that provided vehicles to state lawmakers at taxpayer expense.
Of the 64 lawmakers who had state-financed repairs, 36 then bought their vehicles. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid state bought for:$24,412 sold for: $12,600 repairs requested by Hancock before purchase:$499 Inspect and replace gaskets, air filter. Did Ms. Hancock purchase that car for $12,600?

Kelley Blue book trade-in value for the 2007 hybrid is $11, 296 in excellent condition. so $12600 is not out of line.

KBB purchase price of the 2007 Camry Hybrid is $15,931, certified (like having the state inspect and fix, as in this case) is $16,881.

I think certified vehicles include a warranty which probably does not apply here; that would certainly add value. And since we have no idea about mileage, etc., we can't really value it accurately, but it's pretty close. Small potatoes compared to all those overblown pensions ;-)

Hi there - This doesn't seem like an appropriate announcement for Albany or Berkeley Patch. 1) theRead More category is Announcements/Around Town and these events are all in Marin 2) Patch's "Terms of Use" say "You may use this Service solely for personal and non-commercial purposes. That is to say: You can’t use the Service to make a living unless you enter into a separate agreement with us that says you can." This is clearly solely a commercial venture, not a neighbor of ours or local organization providing a community service and charging for the service. 3) I went to the Novato website and saw this listing: "Ettiquette (sic) Series for Kids - 17737 Ages: 7 Years to 11 Years - Residents $150.00 - Non-residents $163.00" 4) These items push our items of local interest down and out of sight. Especially now that there is no box indicating the stories with the most recent comments, as there used to be on the Patch front page, out of sight does mean out of mind. Charles, what are your thoughts here? Thanks.

I've been waiting for the right time to donate my son's old bike he used in middle/high school. It'sRead More been hanging on hooks in the garage and this seems like a great time to give it up!

Can you please post their hours / days of operation ? As i recall, they're only open afternoons aRead More few days a week, and it won't do to just leave donations outside ( they'll be scavenged ). And i was not able to find the info online.

Thanks, Christopher. Open Community Hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12-6pm so anytime those daysRead More are definitely fine. They're there (84 Bolivar Drive - Aquatic Park) most of the day Wednesdays and Thursdays for Youth Classes and the doors are locked. I just spoke to Amber Rich and she asked you to call them at 510 644 2577 and let them know what time is good for you and they will be sure to be there. Thanks for your generosity!

Thanks for the update but I am worried. This is very distressing. How will Eric and Tarina be ableRead More to afford their annual lengthy hipster vacation if they have to cough up lawyer fees? I am sure they were expecting that UCB (aka the rest of us) would pay Mr. Siegel's bill. Now they may have to resort to staying home and eating Top Ramen out of their charming and cheerful "made in Asia by small children but they're not slaving for 14 hours a day in front of our faces so we don't care" ceramic bowls. Oh noes! Bad, bad, very, very bad news.

David, thanks for the alert to the judge's decision.
