I'm grateful for Asm @DavidChiu's leadership in protecting our pedestrians w/ AB550—allowing the use of automated speed safety systems to reduce speeding & prevent pedestrian fatalities. We have the tools to save lives in our communities & we must act now. https://t.co/4gn1eF9dPT — PolitiTweet.org

& the affordable housing crisis, encouraging fiscal recovery through support to small businesses + the Resilience Corps. We will need all of our collective focus, fortitude, & resilience to overcome this pandemic together. Learn more: https://t.co/RpfzeQ9Wpj (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

I'm grateful to my colleagues for unanimously supporting my budget proposal. As we emerge from the pandemic, we must shift our focus to a resilient & equitable recovery—beautifying our city w/ programs like SJ Bridge & Cash for Trash, accelerating solutions to homelessness (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @SanJosePD's new police chief, Anthony Mata. I look forward to working w/ Chief Mata to reimagine policing, reduce criminal activity in our neighborhoods, & build critical bridges between our officers & the community they serve. https://t.co/YjoetoEo0w — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, I'll provide an update on the vaccine, incl. the news that individuals aged 16-64 w/ qualifying medical conditions or disabilities are now eligible (https://t.co/ud7Go9kWbq). I’ll also discuss my March Budget Proposal (https://t.co/RpfzeQ9Wpj.) https://t.co/MuxDwo6jvs — PolitiTweet.org

Our city’s young people deserve more than a handout, they need a paycheck to invest in their futures. The City Council will be voting on this proposal tomorrow. Comment w/your ideas on how this program can better serve you+the community. (3/3) Learn more: https://t.co/gJtBrDkn9g — PolitiTweet.org

A program to use federal relief aid to provide young adults from our lowest-income neighborhoods w/hundreds of jobs at local non-profits+public agencies doing critical work to serve our local community in return for a living wage, health benefits+career pathways. (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

As of Dec. 2020, the unemployment rate of young adults ages 20-24 in California was about twice the unemployment rate for the State. Our young adults’ futures—and our collective futures—are at risk. That's why I’m proposing a Resilience Corps. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

@Rob_1775 there was no news coverage. Nor was there any the weekend before, when we cleaned along Tully ballfields and Senter Road. Let’s all put down our social media weapons for a moment — there’s too much work to be done as our communities grapple with multiple crises. — PolitiTweet.org

@DrDreNoCal Too safe. The moment calls for boldness. — PolitiTweet.org

@Pankaj_K_Singh We are trying some creative approaches to crack down on illegal dumping, but there’s no magic in this: somebody has to actually catch the perpetrator in the act, and even in a world of ubiquitous cameras and drones— a problematic world, to be sure— you still need enforcement — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@SallySouders You and Bill were out there much longer than I was—thank you Sally!! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@TinkerB94904544 We have city employees handling rapid response for illegal dumping & other issues, but we’re the most thinly staffed City Hall of any major city in the US—impacting m every basic service. So, I’ve led initiatives to employ unhoused residents & enlist nonprofit partners (eg SJCC) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@donaldsclark @SanJoseDOT @sjparksandrec We’re working on shutting down San Pedro St and possibly St John right now—working through issues like fire access, etc. Need a strong rebound w/ lots of residential density to support larger closure—retail & restaurants can’t survive w/o critical mass to bring foot traffic — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I joined hundreds of volunteers to help clean up San Jose. A huge thank you to our #BeautifySJ team members for assisting clean ups across the city at Arena Green, Confluence Point, Los Gatos Creek, Poco Way & Hoffman/Via Monte.

We all have a part to play in ending the violence against our AAPI communities. We must protect and defend the diversity that makes @CityofSanJose strong. As a community, we recognize that we need to do more than decry hatred and violence. #StopAAPIHate https://t.co/e9iTAoGeIn — PolitiTweet.org

@mkevane @michaeldlane @CityofSanJose @CasitaCoalition Michael, I’m sorry about these delays—we’re hearing more about these challenges. If you’re encountering more obstacles, please ping us to help: [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@DukeLacrosse5 They’re right to be concerned, but the scientific studies and experts (eg Dr Fauci, CDC Director Walensky) repeatedly reinforce their safety in classrooms of children <10 years old. Differenr viruses behave differently. See, eg, the links I’ve cited here: https://t.co/oxtPdRVcdB — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@DukeLacrosse5 That’s not my word— how the editorial boards of three regional newspapers see it. My view is that we need to follow the science and the health guidance, and we’re not doing so now. — PolitiTweet.org

@Slevers Not “recently.” For many months, Federal, State & top research institution public health experts: have been virtually uniform in the view that elementary schools can be & have been safely opened throughout the US without vaccinations—except in California — PolitiTweet.org

For tonight's update, I'll focus on the COVID-19 vaccine & the County's announcement that they have temporarily stopped scheduling appointments for first doses due to a lack of supply. I'll also break down the American Rescue Plan + who will benefit. https://t.co/tQkkSxEEaJ — PolitiTweet.org
