Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho amended a lawsuit against the city of Sacramento, saying unhoused residents pollute rivers and streams. Homeless advocates say recent studies show that’s untrue.
The agreement between the city and county announced on Thursday comes in response to voters giving the likely approval to Measure O during the November election.

The City of Sacramento paid a $17,000 settlement in a lawsuit filed over a former city ordinance that required residents to stand and salute the American flag while The Star-Spangled Banner was performed.
The lawsuit, which was first reported by The Sacramento Bee, was filed by attorneys on behalf of Jack Lipeles in July 2020.
The obscure ordinance was adopted by the city back in 1928. Mayor Darrell Steinberg and other city leaders said they were not even aware the ordinance existed until Lipeles filed a lawsuit challenging it.
