Email alerts or text alerts that will go out in there is a strike or solution. Five months after the deadly limo fire on the san mateo bridge, the governor signs a bill to increase limo safety. The fire on may 4th killed five women. Flames kept them from using the exits in the back of the limo. The bill requires limo operators to give passengers instructions on safety features. The governor rejected a bill today that would have let oakland make its own gun laws. The law would have forced them to license all firearms with a city agency and register every year. California has one of the strictest gun laws in the country. I am mindful of these challenges the city of oakland faces in addressing gun violence, but this is not the right solution.

On the other hand, a federal judge agreed with san jose that Major League Baseball interfered with the effort to bring the as south. We waited patiently for four years and finally decided we had to assert our rights. Nobody should be able to put a big red x on our city and say a team cant be here. Reporter the door is still open for the as to come to san jose, but theres lots of league maneuvering ahead. We have to be patient. Litigation does take a while, but this is an important step along the way. Reporter as for the as themselves its been fun focusing on this team. I handle the baseball operations above my pay grade.
