A mandatory evacuation is in effect immediately for the areas on and near the banks of Coyote, Los Gatos, Penitencia and Ross Creeks and the Guadalupe River.

It's official.

In California, where a woman has never been elected governor, a third, high-ranking official jumps into the race.

CA's Senate Leader and LGBTQ trailblazer @toniatkins launched her campaign this morning.

Funny over the last nine months I went from using Twitter daily to talk about local politics and now it’s kind of useless for engaging much of anyone on that front…But it’s somehow more useful for curating pro wrestling gossip!

Universe gives and takes i guess…

#Breaking: San Jose City Council just approved contract with unions representing more than 4 thousand city employees to give them a 14.5 percent raise over three years. Mayor Mahan was the only one who voted against the contract saying it would likely lead to a cut in services.

“Viva Calle is a fun day. It turns San Jose into a playground for hours, In 2008 parks took a big hit in the budget from the economic downturn and haven’t recovered fully from that, I’m disappointed to see the city is again looking at the parks budget… https://t.co/klNZoYoF04

[Helen Chapman @parkperson]

Stood with city workers to denounce threats to cutting services especially our parks, centers, and after school programs.. No department has struggled more since the Great Recession to recover.. enough is enough #nocuts @IFPTE21
