"Many residential care facilities in Santa Clara County and across the country exploit their caretakers. A 2021 Santa Clara County Wage Theft Coalition study revealed 1,628 wage theft cases in the county’s residential care industry affecting 3,474 employees. Caregivers have lost in total more than $15 million in unpaid wages."

I love my County.
"The County of Santa Clara...reaffirms its unwavering support for the county’s immigrant community and connect immigrants who are under threat from the current federal administration to information and resources....
The campaign conveys that immigrants are a vital part of Santa Clara County and that, no matter where we were born or what language we speak, we all share the same dreams. It also serves to assure members of the immigrant community that County services remain available to them and have been reinforced to provide additional layers of support."

Mayor #Mahan faces criticism for plan to arrest the #homeless. Framed within #PublicSafety concerns, the plan is met with skepticism due to a lack of data and resources, plus questions about effectiveness, & potential criminalization of the homeless.

Despite the mayor’s efforts to secure support from #SantaClaraCounty, the county has expressed reluctance to collaborate on the initiative.

Would San Jose Sharks try to trade for No. 1 NHL draft pick from Islanders?
