SAN JOSE. (AP) — Police are looking for a San Jose teenager whom they say is possibly being held against her will by her boyfriend.
Police issued a kidnapping alert Wednesday night for 15-year-old Raquel Manchaca. She was last seen a week ago near Oak Grove High School with 19-year-old Leonel Vargas of Stockton.
During a confrontation with Raquel's father, Vargas allegedly ran over the man's foot as he drove off with the girl in a gold, two-door Toyota Solara.
Investigators believe the pair may be in the Stockton area or Ukiah, where they have friends.

OAKLAND  (AP) — Oakland officials say about 200 workers could be losing their jobs as the city moves to cut costs to try to make up for the loss of redevelopment money.

The city says the loss of the redevelopment funds creates a potential annual budget gap ranging from $25 to $30 million, although the exact size of the deficit has not yet been fully determined.
