Can you imagine naming Bay Bridge after Election Frauder, Murderer? It is not enough that the eastern span has taken 24 years and counting to replace, and it is filled with deadly bolts that must be replaced. Now, the California Legislature is proposing to name the western span after the worst mayor in San Francisco and a proud pro-landlord, pro-gambling assemblyperson, Democrat Willie Brown, whose last fling in San Francisco was to perpetrate election fraud in every election from 1995 and every election thereafter, including the 49er Stadium Swindle election...

A Year Later, Youth Programs Still Waiting on City Bicycles Since 1996 the City has distributed unclaimed bicycles to youth in need through nonprofits like the Bike Church and Barrios Unidos.

Despite admitting these problems, the City continues to distribute bikes to t...

Mayor Cuts Off Comment in Consent Agenda Crackdown; Brown Act Complaint Rejected At Tuesday's afternoon City Council meeting (5-28), Mayor Bryant adopted a new repressive procedure which seemed to be made up on the spot to silence me as I opposed the Council's unanimous move to cut the number of Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women meetings in half.

10 Theses about the Crisis: Ingo Schulze German novelist Ingo Schulze's 2012 "Our Beautiful New Clothes" explains how we have accepted the form and not the substance of democracy. People were convinced of the "emperor's new clothes" until a child cried "but he has nothing on." Maybe Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale can help us understand our predicament.
It is the madness that has become self-evident: for years, the public sphere has been plundered and democracy ruined. The German writer Ingo Schulze has had enough....

Health and Safety Gaps in Safe Drinking and Clean Water Acts Since 1978 the State has received on average $600 million to $800 million annually for clean water programs that are administered by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.

All eyes are now on Santa Cruz , which should be considered the litmus test for the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary’s desal future. If the Santa Cruz “expandable” regional desal plant is approved, then desal industry leaders can easily pursue bu...
