Now in total, itll cost the county about 4 Million Dollars. Now, 2 million will be coming from the American Rescue plan act and the other 2 million will be supplemented by the state in a Nonprofit Organization destination home. Officials say the idea stems from the county successful guaranteed basic Income Program that they started back in 2020 for former foster youth and they still used today.

And then 2 more years of pay increases after that, an increase from one to 8 weeks of paid family leave more competitive bilingual pay an expansion of retention and recruitment improvements. But san jose mayor matt mahan says he does not like this deal. He says the council buckled to politics and caved to pressure from the union. While a majority of my colleagues support this deal, i cannot. Our leaders are elected to represent the people. And the needs of the people took a back seat. What working families will likely see because of this is higher taxes and service cuts such as Library Hours and 911, response times. Thinks a deal costs too much. And he says in the weeks ahead, the city manager is going to reveal what services may have to be cut because of this agreement.

Very safe. Always been very safe. Absolutely, because theres so many people here in this lot of traffic all the time, which is why a woman being the victim of a assault here has rattled the nerves of some folks on the trail.
