Thank you, Mayor Faulconer, for your partnership and bipartisanship. Let’s work together, California, to find a better way: gig economy companies should contribute to a portable benefit fund that affords both flexibility and protection to every worker. — PolitiTweet.org

@LorenaSGonzalez @Kevin_Faulconer Sam here: “1m” should not have been used—that’s # of all gig workers statewide—our mistake. The 2 companies have several hundred thousand drivers. This doesn’t need to be binary choice: we have opportunity to force gig companies to pay portable benefits to protect indep workers — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

As bipartisan mayors of CA’s 2/3 largest cities, we share serious concern for the exodus of ride-share companies statewide. This Friday, nearly 1M gig workers will lose their income in the Golden State—deepening the economic pain felt in our communities during this crisis. https://t.co/QFTwlkRs5k — PolitiTweet.org

@LaughatLin @funston_j @mercnews @SJPDPIO @sjpdchief No, i won’t. @sjcleanenergy does not procure energy for the state or entire grid. We’ve procured enough for @CityofSanJose; the source of rolling blackouts is that the CaISO’s 54k MW capacity is getting nearly maxed out during peak usage — PolitiTweet.org

@WildRootsStudio @SJSpotlight @JohnnyKhamis @matthewmahan No. Most developers pay the inclusionary fees—which I pushed to impose a decade ago. We have exempted one subset of projects from fees, because that kind of housing won’t get built otherwise, due to high cost of steel construction — PolitiTweet.org

@LaughatLin @funston_j @mercnews @SJPDPIO @sjpdchief Uh, not quite. The police union has never endorsed me, and has usually opposed me. #Factsmatter — PolitiTweet.org

@funston_j @mercnews @SJPDPIO @sjpdchief I don’t know the answer, and under state law, none of us can know. Disciplinary actions taken against public employees remain confidential — PolitiTweet.org

@vikingwellness @LandoftheFree14 @MarianaGSerrato @PGE4Me @California_ISO @GavinNewsom @KamalaHarris @KTVU @KPIXtv @abc7newsbayarea If you are in west San José, it’s due to a failure at the @PGE4Me substation on Coleman Ave —crews are repairing now; no update on fix. Is that the blackout you’re referring to? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@LandoftheFree14 @MarianaGSerrato @PGE4Me @California_ISO @GavinNewsom @KamalaHarris @KTVU @KPIXtv @abc7newsbayarea You are correct. @PGE4Me admitted as much when we asked them—it has nothing to do with the CaISO direction on rolling blackouts — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Council will: - Accept reports of police misconduct & the public release of video clips from recent protests; - Hear my proposal to move misconduct investigations to an independent agency; & - Push for duty manual changes banning rubber bullets in any crowded setting. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

We’ve failed too many times & need to restore public trust—engaging w/ the community on how we’re investigating + removing bureaucratic hurdles for police chiefs to fire bad cops (https://t.co/wD1mPhnkS7). 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

I called for police reform in June, outlining next steps to build public confidence in @SanJosePD transparency + accountability (https://t.co/YO3FPSrHxN). Today, Council will hear my proposals (https://t.co/wD1mPhnkS7), incl. a push to expand IPA powers & ban rubber bullets. — PolitiTweet.org

San José has activated 3 Cooling Centers to provide residents w/ a cool place to beat the heat. If you lose power & need to charge a medical device, please visit one of our cooling centers Monday through Wednesday from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. https://t.co/CEELCT17it https://t.co/rqUbIdXswD — PolitiTweet.org

@ShannonNazaren @PGE4Me I lead by pushing them to fix it. A few portable generators won’t do anything to enable an entire neighborhood to restore power—the grid requires repair — PolitiTweet.org

@LaughatLin @MarianaGSerrato @CAgovernor @PGE4Me @GavinNewsom @KamalaHarris @California_ISO @sjusd @sjcleanenergy You’re badly misinformed. There is no expert anywhere—and not even @PGE4Me —that believes any of this resulted from lack of procurement by @sjcleanenergy . Please cite a single source to the contrary — PolitiTweet.org
