Encouraged protesters to use noise amplifiers. Ktvu Lamonica Peters tells us those two will soon be banned on tuesday night, people who live and work at the planned parenthood on oakland boulevard in walnut creek told the council about how their lives have been affected by loud protests.

Now, they only had to move him about 80ft. But they also tell me that he had no scrapes or scratches. They say this is because of tea

Administrators say things are running smoothly at the countys three hospitals and over a dozen clinics, while some appointments were converted to video visits and some elective procedures were postponed, the Trauma Center and Emergency Department are open inside the hospital.
