Your contractor has a license for that shower. Does the job still need a permit?

As of mid-October 2026, a contractor’s license is not the answer to every question about replacing a bathtub with a walk-in shower. The sharp moment is when work is ready to start and you still cannot say who is getting the permit—or whether the job will have a final inspection.

Candidates for State Senate District 10: Linda Price, Scott Sakakihara

The Weekly wanted to give voters insight into each state senate candidate’s position on issues we believe matter most to the community. Consequently, we asked the candidates for California State Senate District 10, Linda Price and Scott Sakakihara, four questions, giving them the flexibility to answer as many as they wanted. We limited their responses to 750 words (allowing a bit of flexibility for how disparate word processors count words).

California Proposition 45 Would Impose Strict CEQA Deadlines, With Thousands of Stalled Housing Units in the Balance

For housing projects already deep in California's entitlement maze, Proposition 45 would offer something the courts haven't managed in years: a hard deadline. The ballot measure on the November 3 statewide ballot would let developers of projects currently mired in environmental review opt into a new, faster-track framework rather than wait out the existing open-ended process — potentially resetting the approval clock for developments that have spent years in bureaucratic limbo.
