Bay Space too unwieldy
for regional plans
There are 101 municipalities within the nine-county Bay Space, which makes coordination on regional points virtually unimaginable.
Smaller communities have vital energy although they are often managed by a small group of wealthier residents or slender enterprise pursuits, and that energy then will get used to impede and derail county, regional and state wants. Plus it’s clear that each one these governments can not rent and retain the standard expertise they should serve the general public. Cupertino has famously been a recalcitrant neighbor in our area for years however my metropolis of Campbell is quietly responsible of the identical; they merely can not and won’t operate on the degree of San Jose, and so forth.
Many of those smaller communities are failing their residents and neighbors. Custom isn’t working. A big discount in native governments through municipal consolidation is what our area wants.

With out gun management our
youngsters will proceed to pay
The 51 faculty shootings final yr, and the 14 faculty shootings three months into 2023 must be a robust sufficient indicator to lift the authorized age to personal a firearm.
The frontal lobes of those new adults haven’t been totally developed, but they’re given alternatives to own a gun. Particularly recognized for an aggressive mentality and the urge to harmful acts, these elements must be thought of whereas deciding the age to have the ability to personal a gun.
It has accomplished extra hurt than good having the authorized age be so low. If no motion is taken, our kids will proceed to present their lives at a younger age, when all they actually need is an schooling.
