An East Palo Alto tenant describes safety issues resulting from landlord David Taran's negligence at apartments owned by his company, Page Mill Properties.

Good news for E. Palo Alto tenants
The East Palo Alto Rent Stabilization Board held an Appeal Hearing on 27 August 2008, and ruled in favor of the tenants.

Federal Court Upholds Ban on Voter Registration in VA Hospitals
After four years of legal review, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Veterans Administration policy barring voter registration drives inside its hospitals. The VA's policy is seen by many as being in clear violation of the First Amendment and may still be appealed. Veterans for Peace member Lennox Sweeney, who fought for the right to register veterans of any party at VA hospitals, died while the case was being reviewed.
