Bay Bridge eastbound lane closures could snarl traffic

On a clear evening the span looks almost calm, a long ribbon of steel carrying headlights from one shore to the other. Then a message board blinks, a lane drops away, and the rhythm breaks. Bay Bridge closures of this kind rarely last all day, yet they can still turn a familiar crossing into a slow crawl for anyone headed toward the East Bay after dark. Caltrans has scheduled overnight work on eastbound lanes so crews can paint the structure, a task that sounds ordinary until it meets the volume of a bridge that never really empties.

San Pablo Voters Boost Sales Tax to 10% as Casino Cash Dries Up

San Pablo shoppers will soon pay a 10% sales tax on most purchases after voters approved Measure R, a temporary half-cent increase city officials say is meant to loosen the city's grip on a casino revenue stream that has stopped growing the way it used to. The measure passed to fund general services and reduce San Pablo's reliance on Casino San Pablo, which for years has bankrolled a majority of the city's budget.

Editorial: Apparently, Following the Rules in Brentwood Makes You a Sucker

Just when you think the Brentwood City Council can’t possibly make itself look any more ridiculous, along comes the downtown tattoo ordinance. The original idea was pretty simple: allow tattoo establishments to operate legally in downtown Brentwood. Establish reasonable regulations, create a permitting process, and give businesses an opportunity to succeed.
