Struggling microenterprises in San José impacted by #COVID may be eligible for $15k in grant relief to help cover business expenses, incl. rent, utilities, & payroll. Applications must be submitted by August 28, 2020: https://t.co/kLTdwXjxGi. #SiliconValleyStrong — 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 ...and by the way, I’m the one demanding the release of the video — 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

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@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

@robynhannah @PGE4Me @CityofSanJose Im sorry — will follow up. South SJ, right? Please share any details with [email protected] — 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

Grateful to have tremendous partners fighting against efforts of @WhiteHouse to devalue members of our community. In @CityofSanJose, and under our #USConstitution, everybody counts. — PolitiTweet.org

@robynhannah @PGE4Me @CityofSanJose Robyn, is your block’s power now restored? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

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

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

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

@robynhannah @PGE4Me @CityofSanJose Im on it — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@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

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@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

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@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

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@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

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@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

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
