@excellentprospe If you read the op-Ed, you’ll see that there are many examples in which reasonable taxes, fees, or regulations on constitutionally-protected activity do not infringe on constitutional rights — PolitiTweet.org

@excellentprospe Please read the op-Ed before you criticize. As you’ll see, I’m very aware of my obligations to uphold the Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

@rinconlevantino Paula, protections of the gun industry result from a 2004 law passed by Congress. I do not control Congress. I do have an ability to reduce gun violence in my hometown — PolitiTweet.org

@WrighteousWrath As I describe in the op-Ed, failure to have insurance for guns would give rise to criminal liability, as it does with failure to have auto insurance— misdemeanor conviction + seizure of the gun — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

In the Washington Post this week, I explained how we can stop paying for the financial costs of gun violence. If we require drivers to buy liability insurance, we should expect the same gun owners. To read more: https://t.co/y32HsB5CyX https://t.co/Wfkl4ZW5bO — PolitiTweet.org

@bobby21g @abc7newsbayarea @SanJoseDOT @CTHeyne @KTVU A larger question (to which I do not know the question) is whether there are specific capital improvements to that intersection that cd make it safer. I will discuss w/ DoT, but bottom line is that money may or may not make a difference based on specific engineering of that site — PolitiTweet.org

@bobby21g @abc7newsbayarea @SanJoseDOT @CTHeyne @KTVU #3 was to be allocated by staff based in the 14-highest risk corridors, statistically, and both #1 & #2 could be used for that corridor if it ranked as highly unsafe as well. My budget message responds to specific requests by individual councilmembers. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

@BenMetcalf_HCD Thank you, Director @BenMetcalf_HCD, for leadership and efforts to create a more inclusive California! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@bobby21g @abc7newsbayarea @SanJoseDOT @CTHeyne You’re mistaken on several counts: (1) my budget identified additional traffic-calming funds for districts whose CMs didn’t seek funding, based on need, (2) every district received a base allocation of traffic-calming $$, (3) high-frequency collision corridors get priority $$ — PolitiTweet.org

@theJyneeB @GavinNewsom If that doesn’t get you anywhere, send me an email, and we’ll try to forward it to the appropriate county official: [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

@theJyneeB @GavinNewsom This is what I found on the website for Sourcewise, which administers much of the funding for nonprofit services for aging adults: Community Resource Specialists are available between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. M-F at (408) 350-3200, option 1. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@theJyneeB @GavinNewsom I’m very sorry for the problems you’ve experienced, but the city has no authority over any of these issues—the County administers all health and social services services, and they receive all of the funding for that purpose. — PolitiTweet.org
