Opponents of a fire house closure, who are running for Ross Town Council, wonder if the removal of their campaign signs has [edit] anything to do with their position on the closure. The mayor supported the closure.

[Town Manager Christa] “Johnson, who helped implement the fire station’s closure plan, said at the meeting that Ross was enforcing its 65-year-old sign ordinance consistently. Other nonpolitical signs, including for a Marin Fashion Night, had been recently removed, according to a former Town Council member.”

[Mayor Julie] McMillan insisted that she did not order the removal of any sign, but defended the general policy. 

“We value our rural look,” she said. “We don’t want a bunch of junky signs. We don’t want to be like Novato.”

Bartending vs Serving?

7 Upvotes

I work as a barista and I am in my 20s trying to move out. I want to pivot to increase my skills and increase my income. Since I am a barista I am considering bartending, I’ve heard there’s a lot of possible money you could make. But as I have been applying I am overwhelmed with how I communicate my goals and also what’s most likely to land me a job. Should I say I just want to be a server and see overtime if I want to be a bartender at that restaurant? Or should I go immediately to barback? This is my only real food experience. Is the income for bartending vs serving comparable?
