And we expect to do our job and do it at a high level and all those things.

A test program is a great idea. However, the proposed fines are: drivers going 11 to 15 mph over the speed limit will be sent a $50 ticket. Sixteen to 25 mph over the limit is a $100 ticket, and 26 mph over is $200. Those who exceed 100 mph will receive a $500 penalty.That last fine is preposterous.

Huge project at old Bay Area mall changes focus as real estate shifts

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:06:35 GMT

CUPERTINO — A vast redevelopment of the old Vallco Mall in Cupertino will shift gears in a fast-changing economy — a move crafted to make the project more feasible and enable the first buildings to sprout by late 2024 or in 2025.The Rise, as the ambitious mixed-use development is known, could bring about a new downtown for Cupertino that would emerge from the cleared-away remnants of the moribund Vallco Mall.For that to become a reality, the project’s owner, an affiliate of busy Bay Area developer Sand Hill Property Co., proposed on Tuesday several key changes in the development.The towers in the project will be considerably shorter and the development itself will be reconfigured to make it easier to coax lenders to provide construction financing for an array of properties that together could coalesce to create a new city center for Cupertino.“Challenging market conditions of the past year have affected real estate projects throughout our region, and The Rise...

Rep. Greene says GOP colleague got physical with her

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:06:35 GMT

By Melanie Zanona | CNNIn a private meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson last week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused fellow Georgia Republican Rep. Richard McCormick of getting physically aggressive with her, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter – a charge that McCormick has denied, saying it was a “friendly gesture.”Greene claimed to Johnson that McCormick grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her following a public spat they had over competing resolutions to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the sources said, and asked the speaker to address the issue. McCormick voted against Greene’s censure resolution and then introduced his own, more narrow version – which prompted Greene to say to reporters at the time that McCormick had his “ego bruised.” She also publicly bashed other Republicans who voted against her resolution.In a statement provided to CNN, McCormick said the interaction was intended to be friendly, but he apologized to the congre...
