These San Jose residents’ water bills could jump big time in July

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:14:59 GMT

These San Jose residents’ water bills could jump big time in July Over a tenth of San Jose’s population may soon see their water bills significantly jump if councilmembers approve an increase on Tuesday, making it one of the largest rate hikes in the Bay Area this coming year.Customers of the city-operated San Jose Municipal Water System (SJMWS), which serves approximately 140,000 city residents, could see a 14% rise in their monthly water bills — roughly $16 extra per month. Price increases will go into effect July 1 if the San Jose City Council gives the thumbs up.Officials blame the cost bump on increasing charges by third-party groups who dispense the water, drought-related impacts on supply and usage, and infrastructure improvements that need to be completed. The city-run system serves customers in North San Jose, Alviso, Evergreen, Edenvale and Coyote Valley.Despite the rise in prices, water usage is not expected to change in the coming year, officials said. The SJMWS is expecting to bring in an additional $8.9 million from the a...

Historic debt ceiling vote aligns Bay Area progressives with Freedom Caucus, ties Nancy Pelosi to Kevin McCarthy to … Marjorie Taylor Green?

Historic debt ceiling vote aligns Bay Area progressives with Freedom Caucus, ties Nancy Pelosi to Kevin McCarthy to … Marjorie Taylor Green? It splintered the Bay Area’s deep-blue congressional delegation, aligning progressive reps. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna with far-right Republicans Matt Gaetz and Paul Gosar on one side, and putting Nancy Pelosi alongside Kevin McCarthy and Marjorie Taylor Green on the other.The roll call from this week’s historic debt ceiling vote created once-unthinkable alliances, contorting House members into a bipartisan game of Twister to keep the country from a disastrous default.In the end, more Democrats (165) than Republicans (149) supported the agreement between President Biden and McCarthy, the Republican House Speaker. More members of the GOP majority (71) voted no than Democrats (46).But in California, not a single Republican crossed McCarthy, their leader from Bakersfield, including newly-elected U.S. Rep. John Duarte from Modesto, who narrowly beat his Democratic rival in November.With the extreme factions of both parties opposing it and plenty of bipartisan support in the m...

Pushed around as a rookie, 49ers edge rusher Drake Jackson is looking to push back

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:14:59 GMT

Pushed around as a rookie, 49ers edge rusher Drake Jackson is looking to push back SANTA CLARA — Drake Jackson likes who he sees in the mirror these days, and not just because he’s added some necessary muscle following a disappointing rookie season.Time will tell if Jackson ascends to the heights his skillset would suggest as an NFL edge rusher for the 49ers. He was coasting without even realizing it through Corona’s Centennial High as one of the top talents in the country, and that continued for three years at USC.If Jackson doesn’t reach that peak, it won’t be because he didn’t apply himself after arriving as a pro. He’s even put Kris Kocurek’s mind at ease, and the 49ers’ defensive line coach is known for being blunt and demanding.“I don’t worry about when I start the truck in the morning if he’s going to be there,” Kocurek said Thursday following a 49ers’ offseason practice. “He’s proven it over time. It can’t be a one-day deal, a one-week deal. It’s got...

Opinion: We must do more to support victims of gun violence

Opinion: We must do more to support victims of gun violence It could never happen here — until it did. The mass shooting Jan. 23 of seven people in Half Moon Bay by a sole gunman seemed almost surreal. Many of us were frozen in disbelief, stunned by the carnage that took place and pained by the loss of so many innocent lives.As many of you know, I am a victim of gun violence. It never leaves you. The physical scars are permanent as are the mental and emotional ones. For many survivors, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) prevents them from functioning. The research is profound — nine out of 10 survivors report experiencing trauma, according to a national survey conducted by the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund (Everytown). But fewer than half said they had access to the support they needed to cope with it.Jackie Speier (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)While the human costs of gun violence are devastating, the economic consequences are also significant. Everytown calculates that the cost to our nation is $557 bi...

Kristof: Mississippi is offering lessons for America on education

Kristof: Mississippi is offering lessons for America on education JACKSON, Miss. — The refrain across much of the Deep South for decades was “Thank God for Mississippi!” That’s because however abysmally Arkansas or Alabama might perform in national comparisons, they could still bet that they wouldn’t be the worst in America. That spot was often reserved for Mississippi.So it’s extraordinary to travel across this state today and find something dazzling: It is lifting education outcomes and soaring in the national rankings. With an all-out effort over the past decade to get all children to read by the end of third grade and by extensive reliance on research and metrics, Mississippi has shown that it is possible to raise standards even in a state ranked dead last in the country in child poverty and hunger and second highest in teen births.In the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a series of nationwide tests better known as NAEP, Mississippi has moved from near the bottom to the middle for most of the exams — and near the top when adjusted ...
