In the Mission City, residents can report a clogged storm drain, flooding, or tree branches down by calling:

Everyone keep safe. Please stay dry.
So why is the effort of Jef York to form a sports betting partnership with a Mexican casino so worrisome. Because Jed is carrying forth a goal of Eddie D, to link sports and gaming together in a venue that is unregulated. Mexico’s casino laws are out of date. York boasts about gaming an international sports grouo. His agenda not. Santa Clsra”s.
I don’t want to wish anyone ill will but have to admit to being relieved we aren’t on the hot list this time.
I hope the water dept. did their job and cleared out the camp sites in the creeks. That was never sanitary, legal, or safe. And only they have jurisdiction as I understand.
