Plans to audit children's books and privatize library management in Huntington Beach, Calif., are drawing criticism from censorship opponents, with council members and Authors Against Book Bans decrying the joint measures. buff.ly/3vz0tSM

As a follow-up to the political theater from last month; we didn't even receive a signed response from the Governor. Rather a deputy staffer in the comms division. I'm really glad we spent tax dollars and time to get a form letter back from the comms division. 🙄

Kalmick: “Mr Mayor, you saw the agenda. You saw the staff presentation. It’s been up for 48 hours. I showed up to work tonight. Did you not show up to work tonight?”
Strickland: “Tonight’s a listening night.”
Kalmick: “That’s not clear in any memo, staff comments, anywhere.”

To reiterate: The staff does not have access to the settlement documents to help them prepare the budget.

Dan Kalmick: “I also ask how you know what the county is selling its power for? They have an NDA. There’s no way you could know what the county is selling it’s power for. The Power Authority is now on the right track. They got a cheaper rate within six
months of launching.”

Berkeley’s most unhinged NIMBYs are fighting a bike lane and are rallying folks to go to a special city meeting on April 18.

Their e-mail call to action? “It will be hard to park, so walk or ride your bike.”
