    San Francisco County was the only additional one of California’s 58 counties moved on Tuesday, Oct. 20, to the least restrictive, yellow tier of the state’s coronavirus tracking system.

    Healthcare groups dive into property tax ballot fight, eyeing public health money
    By Angela Hart | Kaiser Health News
    A November ballot initiative to raise property taxes on big-business owners in California is drawing unconventional political support from healthcare power players and public health leaders.
    They see Proposition 15 as a potential savior for chronically underfunded local health departments struggling to respond to the worst public health crisis in more than a century. The initiative would change California’s property tax system to tax some commercial prop

A Brooklyn native, Sternberg was born too late to watch a Dodgers game at Ebbets Field, but he named one of his sons after his favorite pitcher, Sandy Koufax. Koufax’s number 32 wound its way into his email address. Unsurprisingly, Sternberg looked into buying the Dodgers before the franchise was sold to Frank McCourt in 2004.
