End of the year column: #Why Stockton's Council squabbled through 2025. It wasn't just "big personalities." bit.ly/4q8eAWe

By my reckoning, costs of #Stockton's long-delayed new City Hall have quadrupled. What went wrong? What needs to change? bit.ly/4phne4y

Boom. #Stockton

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. bit.ly/46nQiAw

Delta levees are “at growing risk of rupturing, which would endanger half a million people, mostly in #Stockton…” #cawater apple.news/A6pZbzYLZR_Gq4…

Federal government restores funding for fish that Trump loves to loathe - San Francisco Chronicle #Stockton #cawater apple.news/AwkMMq--mQZiw4…

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 bit.ly/4jAXjBY

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

Right out of the gate, #Stockton's new Council makes a dumb mistake. bit.ly/4gO9DNz

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. bit.ly/4h4NPgi #cawater

Column: There's a dire threat to the Delta, one more immediate than the Delta Tunnel. Hint: it has orange teeth. bit.ly/4gB6lNj #Stockton #cawater

We people of #Stockton kvetch a lot. But, hey, the city did some pretty good things in 2024. Let's review. bit.ly/4gT8eoj

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. bit.ly/3Dolral

Why many San Joaquin Valley Latinos voted for Trump despite (or because of) his threat of mass deportation. @nytimes #Stockton bit.ly/4fUlkS8

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. bit.ly/3YJqsRU

Column: Council candidate Jason Lee says he's "the most transparent of all the candidates." We put it to the test. bit.ly/48AXp7w

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. bit.ly/3YLg1yF

Thoughtful piece about warehouses in @nytimes and how they diminish workers' political power. Relevant to #Stockton. bit.ly/3YAFr1P

A woman running for D13 Assembly seat committed welfare fraud and lied about being a Jan. 6 rioter. Denise Aguilar expresses no remorse. #Stockton bit.ly/3zTEFDC

#Stockton police & fire have spent $1 million on Measure N because "Currently, politicians dictate ... working conditions and compensation ... a flawed, political, and cumbersome way of contracting." That flawed, political way is called "democracy." bit.ly/3YrclBH
