In Solano County, where I live, it has been raining on and off for the past couple of weeks. However, everyone in the community knows that rain alone isn’t enough to end California’s drought. Water conservation is important to end water wastage. I have changed my own daily routine to conserve water. I never leave the faucet running unless I’m actively using it, I’ve cut my shower time in half, and my family checks for leaks very often. However, one household alone won’t make a difference in their

Mojave Water Adjudication takes care of San Bernardino County as a state water contractor. Our imported water is very scarce because residents use more water than what is replaced. The High Desert is a naturally dry environment where limited rainfall and snow produce an inadequate natural supply of water. The more of our regular supply that we save underground, the more water we will have when we enter another drought season. Sadly, California will see more droughts due to such hot and dry summers

A number of Long Beach police officers are also buried at local cemeteries. Several of them lost their lives in the line of duty. I’ve only included the two buried at Sunnyside.

Do you want to see a change in this small community of Anamosa? Me, too! I’m a kid, but I do know that mayors are the voice of the people. I want to be that voice. The voice that people want to stand by and say,”I am proud I live In Anamosa!” As mayor, I will work my hardest to make Anamosa welcoming, and listen to what people want. One way to make the community happier, is adding bicycle lanes. Kids ride their bicycles on the sidewalk, because the road isn't safe. Cars speed down streets, which

Local governments face an increasing role in the development and decision making of towns and cities across the globe. City-county consolidation is a local government reform in which a major municipality and county merge to create a unified government. These referenda have proven to be unsuccessful, partly because of how unpopular it is with voters. Proponents of the idea insist on its cost saving benefits. Efforts for consolidation promise a more powerful and unified government, and the end to the

The State of Affairs To begin with, I view the current state of affairs in the town as political exploitation. There are two issues that need to be clearly disconnected, firefighting service delivery and political expediency. From the case presented, the mayor is seeking his fifth term by trying please the electorate. The legislation process needs to be disconnected from personal feuds. The firefighting service is a core requirement in any society. The mayor's office needs to support the department

He also says that Kesha contradicted herself in a deposition in 2011 when she denied under oath the allegations of abuse now being made against him. Kesha’s lawyer Mark Geragos made another false rape claim against Gottwald, he claims, that was too denied publicly by Lady Gaga. Geragos represented Scott Peterson and Chris Brown; this makes it hard to believe
