Burcu Mousa was no longer nervous when Election Day, June 2, rolled around. “A sense of calmness has washed over me,” she says.

Two parcel taxes to fund emergency and fire services in South County faced similar negative results election night, with voters possibly souring on paying more taxes in the face of higher gas prices and a weakened economy.

Even though elected officials like District 30 Assemblymember Dawn Addis and 19th Congressional District Rep. Jimmy Panetta have experienced the ups and downs of the campaign trail on more than one occasion, they still get a little nervous on election day.

“The corridor currently includes 11 at-grade intersections,” says Caltrans District 5 Project Manager Meg Henry. “What that means is that vehicles can turn left or right onto or off of Highway 101 mainline. As the county has grown – specifically points south of Chualar like Gonzales, Greenfield and Soledad – there are a lot more cars on the road.”

Driving along Highway 101 from Chualar to Airport Road, just south of Salinas, making a left-hand turn during high traffic is a daunting task. Brief gaps in highway traffic provide

If passed, as many as 1 million eligible voters could be kept from voting. Another 500,000 aren’t registered and don’t have the necessary documents it would require, according to UCLA Voting Rights Project director Matt Barreto.

With President Donald Trump dragging them down in the polls, California Republicans are repackaging one of his core crusades into an idea they hope will be more palatable to voters.

If you needed proof that there is a compelling need for a resolution declaring Seaside is a sanctuary for transgender people, the proof showed up right there in the room.
