Jason Smith mentions in our news blog some of the silliness that goes on at the Barstow Planning Commission. Our commissioners actually spend time discussing and analyzing what street names in Barstow should be.

I’ve already commented on the ridiculousness of the commission going on and on (and on and on) in their discussions of what colors are permissible on the exterior of local businesses. Is there any point, any line that we will cross where our community will turn around and say, “You know what? We don’t need your help with street names or colors, so why don’t you just stay out of it? Thanks.”
