Voters have seen this shady campaign for #Stockton City Council before. Will they be fooled again? https://t.co/0VHRUdBXF7

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

End of the year column: #Why Stockton's Council squabbled through 2025. It wasn't just "big personalities." https://t.co/arNmPd3Sm5

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

By my reckoning, costs of #Stockton's long-delayed new City Hall have quadrupled. What went wrong? What needs to change? https://t.co/voVFhpP4gS

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Boom. #Stockton

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Column: The prosecution of AngelAnn Flores destroyed a key witness in #Stockton Unified's $7 million air filter scam and other dirty deals. Maybe it was just a coincidence. https://t.co/x9qv8CvmAi

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Delta levees are “at growing risk of rupturing, which would endanger half a million people, mostly in #Stockton…” #cawater https://t.co/EyenvqzSj1

Federal government restores funding for fish that Trump loves to loathe - San Francisco Chronicle #Stockton #cawater https://t.co/P1YuKB9EU1

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Column: Authorities are heaping an unusual amount of secrecy on the prosecution of whistleblower/accused fraudster AngelAnn Flores. Shouldn't the trial of a public official be public? #Stockton https://t.co/623vOVQqD9

[Restore the Delta @RestoretheDelta]

Second biggest lie by @BayAreaCouncil is that the Delta tunnel will solve their housing crisis. The Bay Area has failed to build affordable housing for decades. @valleywater @GavinNewsom @CA_DWR

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Right out of the gate, #Stockton's new Council makes a dumb mistake. https://t.co/wodofnn42a

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Column: For too long, #Stockton has neglected to make its waterways the public treasures they could be. In the case of Mormon Slough, that's finally changing. https://t.co/yvtNt7HjF4 #cawater

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Column: There's a dire threat to the Delta, one more immediate than the Delta Tunnel. Hint: it has orange teeth.

We people of #Stockton kvetch a lot. But, hey, the city did some pretty good things in 2024. Let's review. https://t.co/aTGErMSu6N

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

2024 in review: Stockton needed investigators to take down the grifters who likely ripped off Stockton Unified and may be moving in on City Hall. It didn't happen. https://t.co/xILArToiV2

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Why many San Joaquin Valley Latinos voted for Trump despite (or because of) his threat of mass deportation. @nytimes #Stockton https://t.co/gdLoHXBYwk

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

A column about #Stockton's election '24, and whether something is amiss with our voting system. Also the impact of mass deportations on SJC and a couple guys who should walk the plank. https://t.co/httBL0F9Zf

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Column: Council candidate Jason Lee says he's "the most transparent of all the candidates." We put it to the test. https://t.co/q5xNr5VqlA

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

The shadiest campaign in town is being run by #Stockton City Council D2 candidate Mariela Ponce. She's a ghost candidate using dark money and she's a threat to transparent government. https://t.co/DQCSNRi1lc

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

Thoughtful piece about warehouses in @nytimes and how they diminish workers' political power. Relevant to #Stockton. https://t.co/sX04gMxTzU

[Mike Fitzgerald @Stocktonopolis]

A woman running for D13 Assembly seat committed welfare fraud and lied about being a Jan. 6 rioter. Denise Aguilar expresses no remorse. #Stockton https://t.co/F04CNCB6oN
