Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 11:26:20 GMT

Local health officials told the Martinez City Council on Wednesday that the Martinez Refining Company (MRC) should have reported events leading to the Nov. 24 discharge of more than 20 tons of "spent catalyst" days before the discharge actually started. Phil Martien from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District said a mechanical failure four days earlier started a chain of events leading to the Thanksgiving night discharge that lasted into the next day. Councilmember Satinder Malhi asked Martien whether there was any communication between MRC and the air district between Nov. 20, when problems started, and Nov. 24, when the discharge began. "I believe that there was not great communication during that period," Martien said. "Under law are they required, to typically, to notify?" Malhi asked.

Napa County supes vote to keep 'pro' and 'con' supporters off measures on ballots

Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 11:26:20 GMT

The League of Women Voters of Napa County said they support a recent decision by the Board of Supervisors to keep the names of both pro and con supporters of local measures off ballots, though the chair of the Napa County Republican Committee decried the move. The supervisors on March 28 unanimously approved barring pro and con supporters for local measures from being listed on ballots. "The complete information about a measure including the supporters and opponents will still be in the information booklets," said League of Women Voters of Napa County president Bernadette Brooks. "We are ok with this decision." Elon Musk says violent crime in SF is ‘horrific.’ Is it? County Registrar of Voters John Tuteur argued that adding the additional verbiage would be expensive compared to only having pro and con supporters of local measures published in voter guides sent to residents, likening it to real estate. "The voters' information guide is very, very cheap real estate, you ca...

Oklahoma Attorney General Asks Court to Overturn Richard Glossip’s Conviction

Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 11:26:20 GMT

Citing the duty of a prosecutor to seek justice, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond asked the state’s highest criminal court to vacate Richard Glossip’s conviction on Thursday and send his case back to district court. It is a stunning turn of events in a case that the state has aggressively defended for years. Glossip, now 60, has come perilously close to execution multiple times.“The state has carefully considered the voluminous record in the case, the constitutional principles at stake, and the interests of justice,” Drummond wrote in a filing with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. “While the state has previously opposed relief for Glossip, it has changed its position based on a careful review of the new information that has come to light.”The move by Drummond signals the possible end of a decadeslong saga that began on January 7, 1997, with the discovery of Barry Van Treese’s body inside Room 102 of a seedy motel on the outskirts of Oklahoma City.Glossip, the live-i...

(CNN) — Solo un tercio de los estadounidenses afirma que el presidente Joe Biden merece la reelección, según una nueva encuesta de CNN realizada por SSRS, mientras que la mayoría de su partido afirma que le gustaría ver a otra persona como candidato demócrata a la presidencia el próximo año.La encuesta se realizó a lo largo del mes de marzo y se completó casi en su totalidad antes de que un jurado investigador de Manhattan votara a favor de acusar al expresidente Donald Trump la semana pasada.

Pelicans: Zion Williamson continuing rehab, conditioning

Published Sat, 30 Nov 2024 11:26:20 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Pelicans have ruled out Zion Williamson for Friday night’s game against the New York Knicks but have stopped short of providing a timeline for how much longer the All-Star forward will be sidelined by his right hamstring injury.“After further evaluation, it has been determined that Zion Williamson will continue his rehabilitation and conditioning regimen,” Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said in a statement Thursday evening. “We will continue to monitor his progression and updates will be provided as warranted.”The announcement comes a day after the Pelicans clinched a spot in the NBA postseason with a victory over Memphis that guaranteed the team a top-nine finish in the Western Conference — good enough for at least a play-in spot. New Orleans (41-39) still could finish in the top six and go straight to the playoffs if it wins its last two games and receives help in the form of losses by Golden State (42-38...
