For example, Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts is privately owned by the Kraft Group, and the Boston Globe reported that World Cup Boston 2026 host committee is looking for $170 million from local governments and private investors is skeptical they’ll get the full cost from government funding as the state has been reluctant to use public money to fund private events “There’s no reason that a $5 billion nonprofit company from Switzerland should be receiving a bunch of handouts from Massachusetts taxpayers,” Matheson told San José Spotlight a Temple University professor who specializes in sports economics said he isn’t against government spending on mega sports events so long as officials are honest about the real benefits hosting brings thousands of people from around the world for entertainment and fun — not a large economic boost “A dollar spent on one thing is a dollar not spent on another,” Knecht told San José Spotlight “If you’re going to spend a dollar on the stadium that’s a dollar not spent on police or schools.” Contact B.

The drug showed up in the autopsy of one woman who died in San Francisco in February As the Chronicle notes today, an overdose from carfentanil can be reversed with Narcan, but it will likely require multiple high doses to be administered to work.

Gripping Challenge Amidst Championship Ambitions In the wake of a painful Super Bowl setback the Kansas City team stands at a crossroads Compelling Opening In a league defined by relentless change and fleeting allegiances one athlete is boldly choosing stability over speculation Fred Warner has two years left on his deal It's been quite the offseason for the Seattle Seahawks . As they enter their second year under head coach Mike Macdonald None more pressing as the change under center another quarterback who recently revived his career Darnold went from being considered a first-round bust to a starter in the playoffs for the Minnesota Vikings. Now, he's the leader of a Seattle offense that also lost D.K. Metcalf, who has been replaced by veteran Cooper Kupp Those changes are being questioned by Bleacher Report's Mo Moton, who says Seattle hasn't improved at key positions, even calling them the biggest losers in the NFC West this offseason "This offseason, the Seattle Seahawks added older or less established players at key positions." it all comes down to how well Darnold plays saying there's a chance he could regress due to the lack of help around him a Pro Bowl campaign with the Minnesota Vikings Yet he only has one quality year in a full-time starting role The Seahawks had limited options on the free-agent market and added the best available quarterback Darnold could be primed for regression with a lesser supporting cast than he had in Minnesota." The arguments against Seattle are valid, but it's worth noting that their counterparts might have had more issues. The San Francisco 49ers traded away one of their key pieces and didn't find anyone to adequately replace him They also spent another offseason with trade rumors buzzing around Brandon Aiyuk and have an interesting contract situation to figure out with quarterback Brock Purdy Considering they were just 6-11 last season all these concerns could be devastating for the 49ers Which is why it's interesting that they weren't named the biggest losers This article first appeared on Seattle Seahawks on SI and was syndicated with permission Game Recap: Softball | 5/3/2025 8:00:00 PM Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting !

Rourke currently is third at best on the 49ers' quarterback depth chart so he would need a couple injuries to occur before he could play But the 49ers don't invest much in their offensive line They lost starting left guard Aaron Banks this offseason And Trent Williams missed the final seven games of last season with an ankle injury That's a big reason the 49ers quarterbacks get injured so often Brock Purdy got injured twice and the 49ers started three different quarterbacks the 49ers actually went through four quarterbacks Which means Rourke probably will start a game for the 49ers at some point This article first appeared on San Francisco 49ers on SI and was syndicated with permission.

Gavin Newsom, as signs indicate he’ll propose additional state cuts to Medi-Cal in a mid-May budget revision for fiscal year 2025-26 — independent of the cuts the Trump administration might make Williams said Newsom could exacerbate, rather than reduce, the harm from the federal government “It could be really catastrophic for these programs and services because it becomes this cumulative and compounding impact,” Williams said “We need the state to be thoughtful — don’t make cuts to the same services that the federal government is trying to decimate.” The county will propose using taxpayer dollars out of the general fund its largest source of discretionary spending to keep its most critical but federally reliant services running at a baseline level Most of the backfilling will go to supportive housing services which will see the steepest federal reduction hit at $24 million in losses followed by the Public Health Department at $19 million Behavioral Health Services and District Attorney Jeff Rosen’s office will also see hits to their budgets and rely on general fund support But Sheriff Bob Jonsen’s office will see no general fund support as his office stands to be least affected by proposed spending cuts under the Trump administration “We don’t have the resources to backfill everything,” Williams said Still, the recommended budget adds 30 positions to Custody Health Services to improve mental health services for people in the county jails Santa Clara County’s federal revenues fall into three main categories government insurance program managed locally as Medi-Cal in California — and Medicare the insurance plan for people with disabilities and older adults Next is money that comes in for social services from a variety of state and federal programs administered by the county including food stamps and foster care programs Both of these categories haven’t yet been factored into Williams’ budget message He said while federal lawmakers are proposing steep cuts to these programs it’s unclear how those cuts will take shape The third and smallest category in the budget is money from federal grant programs established by Congress County supervisors will hash out Williams’ proposals at a series of budget workshops this month “We’re doing the things we can — with the things we can control — so that to the greatest extent possible we are determining our own future,” Williams told San José Spotlight Contact Brandon Pho at [email protected] or @brandonphooo on X “Look at all these problems I’ve caused I need a massive pay increase to solve them.” shut down and shut up fiasco really worth it These are scary times for everyone and it would be nice if SCC Board of Supervisors reviewed what are the core services they are responsible for and work from there counties and cities also need to do their part and work together because everyone is losing money but the problems and concerns remain the same Taxes are not the answer but cooperation is needed I know the SJ city will bring back people after they retire without any benefits and for a certain length of time Perhaps people who recently retired can be brought back for only six months to help with caseloads or work at the jails without paying overtime or benefits People who need to be laid off can be brought the same way if they want I don’t know the union rules but I know many people are scared of losing their jobs so perhaps something can be worked out to keep services going You must be logged in to post a comment 408.206.5327[email protected] As DOGE and other offices reshape federal agencies the lawsuit seeks to stop the reorganization and massive workforce reductions underway at the order of President Trump The case seeks judicial intervention to stop the implementation of the President’s unlawful Executive Order 14210 (“Implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative”) which has resulted in the dismantling of the federal government on a scale unprecedented in U.S Although the President’s Executive Order seeks to radically reorganize and deconstruct federal agencies through massive reductions in force the plaintiffs make clear that only Congress has the power to change the federal government in the ways the President has directed “President Trump’s complete disregard for the rule of law has had incredibly harmful impacts on local communities,” said San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu “The President cannot radically restructure federal agencies through massive layoffs with a mere signature on an executive order Only Congress has the power to reorganize federal agencies as Trump wishes The Constitution’s separation of powers was intended to prevent the abuse of presidential authority yet here Trump is ignoring checks and balances and trying to act as both President and Congress San Francisco joins this coalition to stand up for our Constitution and the rule of law.” “The Trump Administration’s unconstitutional actions to reduce the size of the federal government are directly impacting millions of public employees and all those who rely on government services,” said Santa Clara County Counsel Tony LoPresti “These actions hit home right here in the Bay Area by making it harder for local governments to respond to emergencies like wildfires and earthquakes eliminating public health programs that help prevent the spread of disease and undermining vital collaboration between local and federal government in dozens of other operational areas The County of Santa Clara is proud to work in coalition with this diverse and expansive group of partners to put a stop to the Trump Administration’s attempt to bypass Congress and make unfettered cuts that are affecting all levels of government services.” President Trump has directed nearly every federal agency to make massive cuts to its workforce in furtherance of a reorganization of the entire federal government under the mandate of Executive Order 14210 the Department of Health and Human Services began eliminating more than 10,000 positions throughout the Centers for Disease Control many other federal agencies are expected to significantly downsize their workforces including the Small Business Administration by 43% the Department of Housing and Urban Development by 51% “When the President unilaterally cuts the jobs and services our communities rely on — services that protect children and fellow unions across California will step up and fight back,” said SEIU 521 Chief Elected Officer Riko Mendez “Cuts and layoffs at the federal level are direct attacks on State are already seeing delays in life-saving care We proudly stand with our local and state government leaders to stop this administration’s reckless politically motivated purges of the public servants who hold our communities together Lives are on the line — and we will not back down.” Local governments like the City and County of San Francisco and the County of Santa Clara joined as plaintiffs in this case due to the harm caused to their jurisdictions as a result of the Trump Administration’s actions to remake the federal government Federal staffing shortages and other dramatic changes to federal government operations will make it more difficult for local governments to effectively deliver programs and services at the local level. In addition it makes intergovernmental work more difficult and cumbersome for state and local jurisdictions Santa Clara County is taking action to protect federal employees because without their life-saving research and service millions of Americans will suffer,” said Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors President Otto Lee. “The current staffing mess in the federal government is inhibiting local governments like ours to serve our communities What’s being sold as ‘efficiency’ has shown to be cruel and pure chaos and this dangerous breakdown must be stopped immediately.” In addition to the City and County of San Francisco and the County of Santa Clara the coalition of plaintiffs in the lawsuit includes the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and four AFGE locals American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and SEIU Local 1000 Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks This website

In January 2023, more than 86,000 residents were affected by the breakdown of pumping equipment whose distribution was limited due to fuel shortages Additionally, in October 2022, a break in the main pipeline left neighborhoods such as Santa Catalina, Capiro, and La Vigía without service which were already experiencing prolonged supply cycles Caibarién: more than 25 days without water and bottled water sales The situation sparked outrage among the residents. A Cuban mother expressed her desperation in a live broadcast denouncing that they had been without water for more than 10 days and that the regime was "killing them with thirst." Similarly, the water shortage has had direct consequences on the health of the population. In May 2019, an increase in diarrheal cases was reported in Villa Clara attributed to the consumption of contaminated water and spoiled food The main problem in Santa Clara is the paralysis of the Minerva-Ochoita system due to a significant decrease in the water inflow to the Ochoita water treatment plant There is suspicion of a major leak between the La Jutía tank and the plant the water crisis has left the population entirely reliant on Well 8 as the pumping stations Rojas 1 and Rojas 2 are out of service due to breakdowns This has extended the water delivery cycles and affected coverage causing a significant impact on the daily lives of the residents The authorities are working on repairing the damages and have reinforced the supply using tanker trucks no specific date has been provided for the normalization of the service which generates uncertainty and concern among the affected residents The water scarcity has had direct consequences on public health with an increase in diarrheal diseases attributed to the consumption of contaminated water and spoiled food This situation is particularly concerning in communities that already face limited access to essential services A team of journalists committed to reporting on Cuban current affairs and topics of global interest we work to deliver truthful news and critical analysis Santa Clara County wants to help homeless people on probation avoid extra jail time by bringing legal services to encampments People on probation are required to attend regular meetings with a probation officer and court hearings. But for homeless people who lack transportation, making these appointments becomes an obstacle which can lead to longer probation periods or going back to jail The county aims to reduce these barriers by having a mobile probation service center technology and equipment to operate a mobile service center through a $707,000 state grant The vans will offer the same resources as the brick and mortar location giving homeless people a chance to connect with a probation officer to fulfill their requirements Officers can also inform homeless people of when their next court appearance is provide hygiene kits and connect them to employment drug treatment and mental health resources “If we don’t have that connection that’s made the person is likely to not engage as many services,” Probation Division Manager Daron Story said at a Wednesday news conference “We want to get them into as many services and treatment programs as possible but we also want to avoid any further court appearance that they may incur from failing to report.” One van will conduct outreach in areas where homeless people are likely to be found, including parking outside the courthouses and community centers. The other van will be used during community events like resource fairs and National Night Out Story said they haven’t determined how often they will be doing outreach but many of the people who miss probation meetings tend to be homeless “We do have a higher rate of individuals who will get a bench warrant for failing to report to us adding to the stress of their situation,” Story told San José Spotlight County officials said roughly 5,000 people are on probation at any given time though they couldn’t specify how many are homeless The last time he got out of jail half a year ago he decided he needed to do things differently What ultimately turned his life around was when his probation officer came out to his encampment with an outreach worker to get him into housing Not every probation officer will go to those lengths to help someone reenter society which makes the mobile probation van vital for homeless residents “It’s gonna be an excellent in-between step for people,” Ameen told San José Spotlight Contact Joyce Chu at [email protected] or @joyce_speaks on X Since we emptied our prisons onto our sidewalks and riverbanks over the last few years it makes a lot of sense for probation officers to meet all of those felons where they live If they find them still drug addicted or mentally ill the officers would then re-arrest the felons and take them to institutions where they can receive treatment until they can care for themselves I fully understand that these institutions do not exist and that really is our biggest gap in caring for the homeless today and so on takes money away from building these institutions where our homeless can begin healing Let’s show compassion and courage as a society and make money available to treat this ever-growing needy population who are unable to care for themselves Accepting free housing is a low bar for concluding a life has been “turned… around.” Is he now in the right mind You must be logged in to post a

that higher levels of use of force are being used,” Sean Allen president of the NAACP of San Jose/Silicon Valley and a former longtime correctional officer Sheriff Bob Jonsen said the overall decrease in incidents is promising “The latest use of force report highlights positive progress in our efforts to minimize physical confrontations and prioritizing deescalation,” Jonsen told San José Spotlight “By analyzing trends in our use of force incidents we can proactively address areas for improvement and ensure our policies and protocols align with the expectations of the Board of Supervisors and the communities we serve.” The county jails’ use of force incidents involved 769 people as jail fights tend to involve multiple incarcerated people Chemical agents were the top method of using force on incarcerated people followed by physically restraining people to the ground Incidents out in the field involved 117 people Control holds and takedowns were the top method for using force out in the community The report shows 61 jail staff were treated for injuries with 50 requiring hospital treatment this year Out in the field there were 15 staff injuries three of which required hospital treatment a police reform consultant whose county-contracted company OIR Group conducts oversight of the sheriff’s office said downward trends are always a good sign But he said it’s crucial to review individual incidents in depth “We’ll be looking very closely at that because of the concern the community has raised,” Gennaco told San José Spotlight Latinos continue to be overrepresented among the total number of people who deputies hit or physically subdued — at 52% of the 769 people in jail and 43% of the 117 people out in the field “That’s still one of the most alarming things for us,” Allen said “Use of force continues to disproportionately impact people of color.” Contact Brandon Pho at [email protected] or @brandonphooo on X Does anyone really think that a year over year drop by 6 incidents in use of force cases is somehow a significant drop You must be logged in to post a comment 408.206.5327[email protected] A handful of state lawmakers and Silicon Valley leaders are calling on the Santa Clara County Office of Education to reverse the layoffs of hundreds of teachers serving low-income preschoolers “(The Santa Clara County Office of Education) currently holds a positive multi-year budget certification as confirmed by third-party audits released earlier this year and has historically closed each year with a significant budget rollover,” the letter reads “This reality calls into question any claim that such widespread layoffs are financially justified.” State lawmakers said formal information requests have gone unanswered including inquiries about projected deficits impact assessments on students and the criteria used to select positions for layoff “In the absence of clear justification and in the presence of alternative paths forward these cuts appear to be premature and avoidable,” the letter reads Board of Education President Maimona Afzal Berta who supported Dewan’s firing and Hinman’s hiring said her office is trying to find ways of keeping impacted programs alive “The Santa Clara County Office of Education is actively gathering information and evaluating options to ensure program continuity amid the fiscal uncertainty caused by the federal government ending grants and declining enrollment,” she told San José Spotlight “The board of education and (office of education) leadership are committed to keeping stakeholders informed as the situation evolves We invite our labor partners and broader community to advocate to stabilize funding for vital community programs.” said she agrees with the state lawmakers’ letter “(The layoffs are) unjustified and deeply harmful to students educators and families,” she told San José Spotlight “With a positive budget certification and a new Superintendent starting today we have every reason to pause and reassess planning and innovation are possible even in times of federal flux.” An investigation found more than $135,370 earmarked for preschool education program Head Start was misallocated to pay for non-Head Start staff and credit card purchases under Dewan Hinman’s office and board members at the time said the findings vindicated the decision to fire Dewan Now state lawmakers are calling for an audit of the new leadership calling out a $32 million increase to the office’s budget for consulting a $4.9 million increase to school district materials and supplies insurance overspending “by 324%” and millions spent on legal services for the board majority “in just a few months.” Contact Brandon Pho at [email protected] or @brandonphooo on X You must be logged

the 2025–26 academic year following the release of official election results Thursday morning.The pair ran on a platform centered around “proactive advocacy and internal accountability,” pledging to build a student government that actively listens to and uplifts student voices.In the sophomore class senate race and Noah Karnowski ’28 secured senator positions No candidates ran for junior or senior senate seats this cycle; those positions will be filled through appointment in the coming weeks In free agency, they released Leonard Floyd, Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins. Then in the draft, they picked Mykel Williams, Alfred Collins and C.J. West. These three rookies are expected to replace those three veterans in the base defense and stuff the run. But who will rush the quarterback in the nickel defense on third down? It's fair to assume that defensive coordinator Robert Saleh will use different personnel on the defensive line in running situations and passing situations. West in particular seems to have been drafted to stuff the A gap on first and second down. On third down, don't be shocked if he comes off the field and gets replaced by someone much smaller. In the past, the 49ers used Arden Key, Charles Omenihu and Clelin Ferrell as third-down interior rushers. This year, I would expect Saleh to use Yetur Gross-Matos as a third-down interior rusher. He could play next to Nick Bosa or Mykel Williams. The fourth defensive lineman most likely will be second-round pick Alfred Collins, who's not much of a pass rusher, but he's huge. So he can line up in the A-gap, command double teams, bat down passes and prevent the quarterback from scrambling up the middle. The other three defensive linemen can pin their ears back and hunt the quarterback. In addition, look for Saleh to use rookie linebacker Nick Martin and rookie nickelback Upton Stout as blitzers on third down if the four-man pass rush isn't getting home. Saleh may need to scheme up pressure next season. Fortunately for the 49ers, he's one of the best.
