We have been increasing civilian response to calls for service for several years since the launch of our Community Service Officer (CSO) program several years ago—and our CSO’s are doing great work. — PolitiTweet.org

Today's update focuses on the recent announcement that SCC residents 65 years & older can make an appointment to be vaccinated at any site, regardless of their healthcare provider (https://t.co/TD5L5v5g98). Plus, I'll dive into the "Hazard Pay" proposal. https://t.co/lI2d7mSnuC — PolitiTweet.org

The departure of a few tech companies won't doom the Bay Area, but our declining appeal to early-stage companies & the entrepreneurs that drive them will. We need to reduce those barriers & stop blaming tech. Check out my latest @sfchronicle Op-ed: https://t.co/65UdMgAm8I. — PolitiTweet.org

For #BlackHistoryMonth this year, we’re honoring local heroes, like @SJSU alum Tommie Smith, who rocked the conscience of a generation after his 1968 gold medal in the Mexico City #Olympics — and paid dearly for his courage. https://t.co/FavKLFb9nx — PolitiTweet.org

La comunidad #Latinx ha sufrido más del 51% de infecciones por COVID-19 en el condado y aún así los residentes mayores de 65 solo han recibido el 8% de vacunas. Necesitamos cambiar esta disparidad. Inscriba a los tíos, abuelos, vecinos, padres, y amigos en https://t.co/WPx7Fs1yvY — PolitiTweet.org

Our #LatinX community members have suffered more than 51% of countywide COVID-19 infections, yet among our over-65 residents, have received only 8% of the vaccinations. We must change this severe disparity—sign up elder tios, abuelos, vecinos, y padres at https://t.co/WPx7Fs1yvY — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the one year anniversary of the first American to die from COVID-19. I released the following statement to mark San Joséan Patricia Dowd's passing & the unprecedented year we have all experienced. My full statement ⬇️ https://t.co/YCNSCyZ4v3 — PolitiTweet.org

@erik2k10 @LizClaman @FoxBusiness I oppose the recall. Period — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

I joined @LizClaman on @FoxBusiness to discuss CA taxes & state regulations driving tech companies away w/ high housing cost challenges for employees, regulations, & energy costs. It's time we stop blaming tech companies & start reducing barriers for innovators who want to grow. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC We disagree. So do most of our residents—including the great majority of immigrant residents w/ whom I’ve discussed the issue. Immigrants are disproportionately victimized by violence, & many have told me they would rather not have violent felons back in their neighborhood — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC ICE already has access to arrest and conviction records at courts. So, they can either pick violent felons up at the jail, or they can go into our neighborhoods to terrify our otherwise law-abiding undocumented neighbors. I’d much rather that ICE stayed out of our neighborhoods — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC Actually, deportation decisions are made by administrative law judges by far lower standards of evidence (preponderance & clear & convincing) than required in a criminal proceeding (beyond reasonable doubt). US Supreme Court has upheld that approach for many decades — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC Absolutely, I stand by all of them. SJPD doesn’t need to be communicating with ICE—it’s a decision for the County jail. Doesn’t involve anyone policing in the community. My undocumented neighbors have nothing to fear b/c overwhelmingly, they don’t commit violent felonies. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

For today's update, I'll talk about the City's budget deficit & the upcoming Budget Town Hall (https://t.co/xp63FOciKL). Plus, I'll dive into San José Water company's proposed rate hikes & resources for help w/ utility bills (https://t.co/dMYBj8HLQ7). https://t.co/ETN3m1DJQx — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@harpsicordelia @claudsDC No, i don’t. Because that’s false. But SJPD Chief Garcia & I did urge that County authorities treat arrestees who have previously committed violent felonies differently from nonviolent undoc’d arrestees, which could have prevented 3 homicides in those 2 instances alone — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@BellaPunjabi @SenAlexPadilla I support the right of anyone to peacefully protest against their government, & condemn any acts of violence by the Modi administration. I’m not in a position, though, to understand what is happening in the ground—or the government’s halt of farm subsidies—to say much more. — PolitiTweet.org

@21st_ctryfire @Change @SanJoseStrong1 Today, the Rules Committee will consider my demand that we have their executives explain the rationale for rate hikes in public, and respond to questions of the Council and public. We will decide whether to challenge their rate case in the days ahead — PolitiTweet.org

@JessicaDavisMUA I’m neither the decision maker nor the expert. The health authorities are at the county and the state. I would expect, based on medical studies I’ve seen, that the safety declines with age—particularly over the age of 10 — PolitiTweet.org

@WHuckable @CityofSanJose Not interested in rewriting history. I’m also not interested in spending scarce city resources repairing a statue and having police officers spending time defending it. We need to focus our resources on our current crises. — PolitiTweet.org
