Moraga staff thought it would be a nice gesture to give each guest at the State of the Town event a cookie in the shape of a pear as a party favor. Some residents, however, were surprised to see that the cookies came from a Danville bakery - on an evening when everyone was urged to "shop Moraga first!"
"The choice was made for financial reasons," said parks and recreation director Jay Ingram. "One of our staff members is affiliated with that bakery and we got a discount we could not pass up."
Evidently minimal government and budgetary frugality, a trademark of Moraga, are not without their consequences.
