A water plan for all of California from Garamendi

Here's a hint: It's located where water power brokers are pushing a $14 billion twin tunnel plan that has the potential to destroy the Delta and keep a large swath of the richest agricultural region in the world fallow. The "river" is all of the water that flows out of wastewater treatment plants in Southern California and is dumped into the Pacific Ocean. It's ...

A bright idea from Uncle Sam: Mercury poisoning possibility for every household
Lead and asbestos have been banned by government decree from being used in homes. Lead poisoning from peeling paint flakes as well as respiratory related diseases from asbestos fibers from insulation are well documented health concerns. Your health, though, isn't a concern of Uncle Sam when it comes to light bulbs.

Worst dwellings in Manteca: Drug houses
There are tattle-tail signs in many cases. The house may have more traffic than a 7-Eleven at all hours of the day and night. Those that come and go tend to be for short stays. Sometimes the house looks like a page out of Tobacco Road with a large volume of junk with the caveat it almost seems like a Sanford & Sons copy cat home business based on the turnover of everything from couches ...

They are extremely noisy at midnight. And it is like Grand Central station around the clock. It is a situation you wouldn't tolerate. Nor would you cut city officials any slack. You'd either want the business cleaned up ...

Clean restrooms going the way of 45-cent gasoline?
There was a time not too long ago when gas sold for 45 cents a gallon. A gas jockey always filled your tank, washed your windshields, checked the oil and cheerfully gave you either a free glass or Blue Chip stamps each time you bought eight or more gallons. And perhaps even better, you were not afraid to venture into a service station restroom. Oil companies spent millions not only urging you to "trust the ...
