@c_hattemer @lucifern00 @CityofSanJose Except if you read the story, the data suggests that's not happening. People are doing their best to pay the rent regardless--the moratorium doesn't absolve the obligation — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: @CalGuard flew over @CityofSanJose to solute first responders + healthcare workers serving on the frontlines of this crisis. TY to all our essential workers keeping #SiliconValleyStrong. https://t.co/U1ANgOhDOR — PolitiTweet.org

We’ll learn more in the weeks ahead about the shape of our region's economy + ability to rebound safely.

@lucifern00 @CityofSanJose We don't have the constitutional authority to enact a tent moratorium. It would be illegal under the 5th Amendment and the Contracrs Clause, unless we were to find hundreds of millions of dollars to compensate landlords every month for their losses — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@joeyjaws @CityofSanJose Fair question, Joey. A few counties have enacted those, but not ours. We don't have any authority over that--it's all up to the state and the counties. — PolitiTweet.org

The Tubbs & Camp fires destroyed thousands of homes and took 100+ lives. Now, the company responsible is in bankruptcy (for the 2nd time). Mayors + officials urge the CPUC to reject PG&E’s Ch. 11 plan—demanding more for victims, ratepayers, & Californians. https://t.co/YjhdwHmiYz — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

When I became the first U.S. mayor to announce an eviction moratorium for renters losing paychecks due to #COVID, dozens of US cities joined @CityofSanJose —& naysayers grumbled that tenants would freeload w/o paying rent. The data shows otherwise. https://t.co/iF02gGKlGL — PolitiTweet.org

Amid #COVID19, CA is confronting another crisis: wildfire risk & PG&E's bankruptcy. It's wrong to make wildfire victims shareholders in the company that burned down their homes. 204 electeds representing 9.5M+ Californians agree—we urge the CPUC to reject this plan & demand more. https://t.co/vofrbb3iFC — PolitiTweet.org

@SamHassas Saying that a public utility is a good idea is different than saying that converting an IOU to a public utility is a good idea. There are good egs of public utilities (SMUD, etc) but the path to get there is prohibitively expensive — PolitiTweet.org

PG&E's reorg. plan would leave the company financially unstable w/ its customers responsible for crushing debt. 204 electeds strongly urge the CPUC to consider the ramifications of this plan + put the wellbeing of millions of Californians before PG&E’s investors. https://t.co/s6t2yF7eoB — PolitiTweet.org

@LorenaSGonzalez @elonmusk (2/2) If we can’t have civil conversations about challenges re-opening safely, #COVID_19 will destroy more than just our economy. Why are pot stores open, but book stores closed? We’ll lose public confidence & public health compliance if we don’t engage w/each other as adults — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@LorenaSGonzalez @LorenaSGonzalez, I don’t often agree w/ @ElonMusk, but #FreeSpeech & democracy cannot be casualties of this pandemic. W/food lines doubling ea week, elected leaders shouldn’t respond to employers w/expletives, but work w/them to get people back to work safely... (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org
