Letters: Paying workers | Corruptible official | Music is basic | Dystopic world | TB fight | Don’t negotiate

Read more Letters to the Editor.Paying workers onlyway to ensure servicesRe: “Pay pendulum swings too far toward workers” (Page A6, Sept. 14).It is true that there is constant tension between institutions that would prefer to minimize the costs associated with the labor required to fulfill their mission. But to deny the fundamental value and needs of the labor that is required to ensure their sustainability in every economic climate is extremely flawed.Nothing in government services can be accomplished without skilled labor. None of the desired outcomes we expect from tax-paid services is achievable without the quantity and quality of staffing determined by experts on behalf of taxpayers. Parks and Recreation don’t exist without the labor to create and maintain them.So this idea that our taxes can be put to better use than paying the necessary qualified staff living wages is beyond my understanding or the realities of good governance. ...

Life without parole? Bill that could free some aging California killers fails to advance for now

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:09:31 GMT

A bill that could have freed some of California’s aging killers serving life in prison without parole failed to advance this year, after running into opposition from victim advocates and law enforcement officials.Sen. Dave Cortese, a San Jose Democrat, said he’ll reintroduce, SB 94, for consideration in next year’s session as a two-year bill after it failed to move off the Assembly floor before the end of the legislative session last Thursday.“We need to be constantly vigilant about improving our justice system, making sure that public safety is paramount, but at the same time ensuring that we don’t infringe upon basic issues of due process and equity,” Cortese said. “I’ll continue to be very focused on this work next year and beyond.”The bill would allow killers who have served at least 25 years of a sentence of life without parole for an offense before June 5, 1990, to petition the courts for a life sentence with parole conside...

At 20, San Jose’s MLK library remains a partnership for the books

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:09:31 GMT

Over breakfast at the Fairmont in 1997, Susan Hammer and Bob Caret — then the mayor of San Jose and president of San Jose State — hit on the idea to collaborate on a brand-new library that would be open to both residents and SJSU students. Together, they later said, both entities could expand their library services beyond what either could do alone.It seems like a simple idea, but they were pioneers. When the $177.5 million Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library opened on the edge of campus in August 2003, it was the first collaboration of its kind between a major U.S. city and university.The two institutions are coming together again Wednesday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of a building and partnership that — despite its bumps — has worked out better than most would have predicted.SAN JOSE, CA - MARCH 25: "East Side Story" is a table at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in San Jose, Calif., made from parts of a Schwinn Stingray bicycle.

September Storms

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:09:31 GMT

The stormy pattern continues for south Florida. The current culprit is a front that has stalled nearby. Since the front will linger, so will periods of rain and the threat for more street flooding. On Wednesday, we’ll need to brace for “anytime showers” while storms will still favor the afternoon and evening hours. As we’ve seen lately, developing storms will sometimes have erratic motion and will tend to move slowly. The ground is saturated from recent rains so any flooding could get amplified quickly. If there’s some bright news it includes the passage of the “weak and feeble front” towards the end of the week. Upper winds are forecast to help sweep the front southward, ushering-in slightly drier air. The timing? By Friday, we should see deep moisture suppressed south. That will limit the rain and allow for most places to get some needed dry time. It’s worth noting that the front will remain close enough to the Florida Key...
