@Merqleez Thanks Steve. Since 2018, as a result of our efforts to pass Measure B and T, we’re paving more miles of road in SJ than any year in the last quarter century—6x what we were doing a decade ago. Infrastructure requires investment and focus, & we’re doing it. — PolitiTweet.org

@LaughatLin @MarianaGSerrato @CAgovernor @PGE4Me @GavinNewsom @KamalaHarris @California_ISO @sjusd @sjcleanenergy Don’t believe me—please look up facts for yourself: @sjcleanenergy has no ownership or control over power lines or grid. Lines exclusively owned by @PGE4Me . Nobody except you believes this has anything to do with @sjcleanenergy procurement—the procurement issue is statewide — PolitiTweet.org

@princesschilona Not factual. btw, 3 years ago, I voted to strengthen rent control by reducing the cap on rent increases from eight to five years. This year, I led the only measure in the Bay Area to tax high-wealth property holders to pay exclusively for affordable housing, Measure E — PolitiTweet.org

@DrumPoint1 The company admitted to city officials that it’s explanation had nothing to do with the extended, 3-day blackouts experienced in San José. “Rolling” blackouts only afflict the grid during peak hours, not at 2 am — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

To be clear, the extended blackouts in South San José this weekend had nothing to do with the rolling blackouts attributed by @PGE4Me to CaISO—they were caused by the poor condition of @PGE4Me infrastructure, resulting from the company’s years of neglect and underinvestment — PolitiTweet.org

Remember to: - Set your thermostat at 78°+ from 3 PM to 10 PM. - Pre-cool your home by setting thermostats to 72° in the early part of the day (when it is more efficient) and 78°+ after 3 PM — PolitiTweet.org

Over the next week, Californians will face a historic heatwave putting pressure on our energy grid. To avoid electricity shortages, residents are encouraged to reduce energy usage to prevent service interruptions: https://t.co/YOvSRZn47J. https://t.co/agEsCBM5fN — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE NOW: I’m leading City Council to take action tomorrow for police reform in San José. My proposal pushes our system to move misconduct investigations out of PD, & into the IPA—enabling the dept. to more easily fire bad cops. https://t.co/TnVErdcQ7r — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@MarianaGSerrato @PGE4Me @KamalaHarris @GavinNewsom @California_ISO To be clear, this problem has NOTHING to do with the regional rolling blackouts, which should only arise for a couple hours during peaks in afternoons. Ongoing blackouts are due to failure of @PGE4Me infrastructure w/in @CityofSanJose & many years of @PGE4Me underinvestment. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

City Council will cont. working toward our promise of clear + expedient @SanJosePD reform. Join me live on Facebook @ 12:45 PM to learn how we’re examining crowd control methods, increasing transparency, & exploring changes to the duty manual. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Tuesday, Council will consider my proposal for moving investigations of #police misconduct from @SJPD to the Independent Police Auditor. SJPD officers overwhelmingly are deeply committed to serving our community, but we must make investigtns independent. https://t.co/qZiRKSvc3d — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@License2Gil @mercnews @SJPDPIO @CityofSanJose The basic issue is that there aren’t enough cops on the force to open the substation. We’re still >300 fewer police officers than we were when Measure O was approved nearly two decades ago, and although we had been rebuilding, we’re now facing a recession — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@no_spoonx @sjpdchief Yes. I pushed many months ago for a release of all records at a public Rules Committee hearing, and again issued an order to the PIO to release all records last month. We must provide all of the records, and we will do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@AscendedSaiyaji @ABC7 I don’t support “this,” if you’re referring to what’s on the video. I do support “them”—our police officers. I believe we can (and should) push for reform while supporting the overwhelming majority of SJPD who consistently and diligently do their best to serve our community. — PolitiTweet.org

@Emeraldluxury I’m not aware of any public schools that are welcoming kids into classrooms, unless the County granted a waiver recently. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ABC7 This video looks awful. This Tuesday, the Council will consider my proposal to move all investigations of police uses of force from SJPD to the Independent Police Auditor, to ensure pubic confidence in independence of investigation of police misconduct. @SanJoseIPA — PolitiTweet.org

@communitygotus (6) I led affordable housing bond (2018 Measure V) on that same ballot, but it failed to get 2/3 voter support (only 64%) needed for passage; (7) I went to voters in March of 2020 to get affordable housing $ (Measure E) approved, hiking taxes on owners of >$2 million property — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@communitygotus (4) 2 months before voters approved Meas T bonds in Nov 2018, Council unanimously approved Meas T project list that included SJPD training facility ;(5) South SJ residents urged use of south PD station for its intended purpose , which requires finding new site for training (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@communitygotus Facts are important:(1) this is the developer’s proposal, not the City’s, nor mine; (2) city’s analysis shows site isn’t feasible, so this project probably isn’t getting built; (1/2) (3) 71% of voters approved 2018 Measure T specifically to build police/fire facilities (1/2)... — PolitiTweet.org
