Short Takes : Newton Posts Tahoe Plan Bond
Entertainer Wayne Newton has posted a refundable $150,000 bond as part of an agreement for restoring an erosion-damaged stream on his 241-acre Lake Tahoe retreat.
A check from the Las Vegas showman arrived in the mail Tuesday at the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, agency attorney Susan Scholley said.
Newton had to pay the bond because he missed a May deadline for submitting the land restoration plan, the bistate agency said. It decided last month to extend the deadline until March 1 but required the bond and a $15,000 fee.
