Letters: Bay Area unwieldy | Kids will pay | Unsafe schools

Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.Bay Area too unwieldyfor regional plansThere are 101 municipalities in the nine-county Bay Area, which makes coordination on regional issues practically impossible.Smaller communities have significant power even though they can be controlled by a small group of wealthier residents or narrow business interests, and that power then gets used to obstruct and derail county, regional and state needs. Plus it’s clear that all these governments cannot hire and retain the quality talent they need to serve the public. Cupertino has famously been a recalcitrant neighbor in our region for years but my city of Campbell is quietly guilty of the same; they simply cannot and will not function at the level of San Jose, etc.Many of these smaller communities are failing their residents and neighbors. Tradition is not working. A significant reduction in local governments via municipal consolidation is what our region...

'The Big Melt': California's record snowfall set to flow down the state's rivers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:07:01 GMT

(KTXL) — California received a record amount of snow this past winter, and as the snowpack begins to melt, local and state authorities are warning about the dangers the water flows present to the agriculture industry, cities and communities, and ecosystems along the state's rivers. "The Big Melt is now officially arriving..." Climate Scientist Daniel Swain said on Twitter. "Flows on many rivers draining the central/southern Sierra will double or triple (with locally greater increases) as temperatures rise. Some rivers will exceed flood stage, & Tulare Basin will worsen."The record snowfall was a welcome sight in the state, which has been in a severe drought for the better part of a decade, but fast-rising temperatures at the end of April could send a lot of cold water for a longer period of time down the state's waterways. Local and state agencies have been announcing for weeks that the public should avoid entering the waterways as the cold water makes its way down rivers and s...

A recruit in the Finnish military is now the NBA’s Most Improved Player.All-Star forward Lauri Markkanen of the Utah Jazz was announced Monday night as the winner of this season’s most improved award, as voted on by 100 writers and broadcasters who cover the league.The news came just past 2 a.m. Tuesday in Helsinki, where Markkanen is currently fulfilling the military service that is mandated for all Finnish men before they turn 30.“Didn’t wake up at 2 a.m. for nothing,” Markkanen said on the TNT broadcast of the announcement. “It feels great.
