Court of Appeal Rejects Napa Restaurant’s Attempts to Flout Foie Gras Ban

Santa Rosa PD Pay Raise 212 Words
The PACH posted an article on September 10th, “Santa Rosa PD Gets Pay Raise of 9.5% Over 3 years”. It talks about a serious accusation in which this multi-year deal can’t be afforded by the city’s finances. According to Mayor Scott Bartley, he thinks it’s a reasonable cost to upgrade our police raise but people don’t agree with all 63 deaths by police in Sonoma County since 2000.
