Sacramento finally sees Califia. Can the city get her the help she desperately needs?

The city government of Sacramento, from Mayor Kevin McCarty to paramedics, wants to save 33-year-old Califia Carlisle from more than a decade of homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness. But in assembling its effort, the city discovered that there was no record of Carlisle in the official Sacramento County homeless database, despite that she has been swept for years from illegal homeless encampments and arrested for panhandling near the Home Depot off Folsom Boulevard. Officially, it was as if Carlisle had never existed. “She is hiding in plain sight,” said 69-year-old Christopher Carlisle, Califia’s father, who attended a recent briefing with city and county staff about his daughter. There are nearly 6,000 homeless people in Sacramento County’s Homeless Information Management System, or HMIS. Sacramento Steps Forward is the nonprofit group that manages the database. Califia’s absence from county records illustrates the fallibility of homeless record keeping in California. It’s why Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claim that homelessness has decreased by 13% in the last two years should be viewed with skepticism. The HMIS database, like the biennial count conducted on a single day in January, is flawed because people experiencing homelessness are difficult to count, and the methods used to track

Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid! Some of them were over 10+ checks probably more! Some servers are owed over 10k in tips,” the caption says. The

California's biggest water project in 50 years gets green light. Here's what to know

California regulators have cleared the way for construction of Sites Reservoir, a major new water storage project in Colusa County. The decision marks the state’s largest reservoir undertaking in more than five decades and caps years of debate over cost, environmental harm and tribal objections. Here are key takeaways: The State Water Resources Board on Wednesday, Nov. 4, approved a water rights permit for Sites Reservoir , a 13-mile-long, four-mile-wide and 260-foot-deep project near Maxwell that will hold up to 1.5 million acre feet of water at an estimated cost of more than $6 billion. A draft approval issued in March drew sharp criticism from environmental advocates, with Harrison Beck of the Center for Biological Diversity warning the decision did not address serious threats to the Sacramento River ecosystem and imperiled fish populations. Federal officials in January signed off on an environmental review that could cover up to a quarter of construction costs, with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum saying the Trump administration backed the project to expand water reliability for communities and agriculture. Gov. Gavin Newsom fast-tracked the project through 2023 legislation that expedites legal challenges under the California Environmental Quality Act, pitching Sites as a critical piece of the
