But the bill, \u003ca href=\"https://www.enr.com/articles/60861-senate-committee-advances-budget-with-fast-tracked-nepa-option\">which also would have made changes to the National Environmental Policy Act at the federal level\u003c/a>, would have superseded CEQA, eliminating public input in this process altogether.[aside postID=news_12046061 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Tahoe1.jpg']“This proposal throws out all of that transparency and all of those checks and balances out the window and gives this administration’s officials the ability to nominate places and then execute these land transfers very quickly,” Crowfoot said. “I don’t know what that would mean if this bill passes, but we are not going quietly in the night. We’re gonna protect public access to these lands at all costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Bishop’s Mayor Kong, her city is a stark example of how the Trump administration’s actions and proposals can — and have — impacted a region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public lands surround Bishop and are home to the many federal employees working on that land — the BLM and Forest Service are the area’s fourth-largest employer — and its economy survives off of tourism to the wild places nearby. Since Trump’s second inauguration, the White House’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12030343/layoffs-have-hit-the-beloved-national-park-service-how-will-it-affect-your-visit\">attempts to lay off thousands of public employees, including National Park Service staffers\u003c/a>, and now its threats to federal lands have all been a major concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The health of a place like Bishop depends on both locals and visitors “keeping a good and close eye on the public lands,” Kong said. ”Selling off the public land would decimate us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Lee’s assertion that selling off this land could address California’s housing crisis, California leaders have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007818/newsom-vowed-to-build-housing-on-surplus-state-property-99-of-the-land-will-stay-vacant\">actually proposed a similar move themselves, around state-owned land in the past\u003c/a>. His new version of the bill, unlike the original, specifies that the land must be used “solely for the development of housing or to address any infrastructure and amenities to support local needs associated with housing,” according to \u003cem>The Hill\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Hawkins said its remoteness, fire risk and lack of infrastructure for new housing could make it unsuitable for development regardless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while she acknowledged that Bishop is facing its own housing crisis, “people don’t just move to Bishop to move to Bishop,” said Kong — noting that without the surrounding public lands that define the town, a community like hers may not exist at all. She’s also concerned about how many Forest Service or BLM staff already plan to leave the city after the Trump administration’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/politics/federal-employees-deferred-resignation-offer\">attempt to shrink the federal workforce by firing federal employees en masse.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are we going to need the same amount of housing as we would if those people were here?” she asked. “Our whole entire town is tourism.

Breyer initially issued a temporary restraining order that directed Trump to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043920/judge-weighs-californias-lawsuit-over-trumps-troop-deployment-in-la\">hand back control\u003c/a> of the California National Guard troops to Newsom.[aside postID=news_12045579 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/gettyimages-2219185144-2000x1334.jpeg']But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked Breyer’s TRO within hours of his ruling, and a week later ruled that Trump “likely” acted within his authority when he invoked a rarely used legal provision that allows a president to deploy federal service members if “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breyer is now considering whether to issue a separate preliminary injunction based on questions not addressed in the appeals court ruling, including whether the deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act, a 147-year-old law that bars using the military against civilians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House argued in court filings this week that since the appeals court approved Trump’s authority to call up the troops, he is allowed to decide how to use them. But in his order, Breyer wrote that those claims are premature, and noted that the administration’s reading ignores the key differences between the statute Trump used to federalize the National Guard and the Posse Comitatus Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A second reason why Defendants’ argument is premature is that its success may hinge on evidence that would be gathered in the very discovery that Plaintiffs seek,” Breyer wrote. “Plaintiffs’ Posse Comitatus Act claim might remain viable if they can present evidence that Defendants are using the federalized National Guard members to enforce state law or federal law unrelated to ‘those laws’ that justified federalizing the National Guard in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And when he used his InReach satellite messaging device to get the weather forecast the morning of the storm, it showed 0% chance of precipitation, “so we weren’t worried about precipitation at all,” he said.

After that hearing is concluded, the hearing officer would have 45 days to submit a written advisory opinion to the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thereafter, the board would have 30 days to act on that advisory opinion,” Nibbelin said, reiterating that Tuesday’s vote “would constitute a final decision of this board to remove the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

That report concluded that Corpus violated the law “related to the performance of the sheriff’s duties … flagrant and repeated neglect of the sheriff’s duties … and obstruction of an investigation into the conduct of the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stand firm in knowing that this process is one that will do right by the community and is the right thing to do,” Corzo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s vote on Tuesday brings San Mateo County into entirely uncharted territory, as no other charter county board has successfully voted to remove its sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County voters gave supervisors the authority to remove then-Sheriff Alex Villanueva in 2022, but the board didn’t need to use it as he lost re-election to a primary challenger. San Francisco’s board brought then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi to a vote of potential removal in 2012, but not enough supervisors voted to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Attorney John D. Nibbelin said the county would officially notify Corpus of the board’s vote via email. She then has five calendar days to file a notice of appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county, then, is obligated to offer her the option to pick one of “three neutral hearing officers with experience in public safety officer disciplinary matters” to oversee a formal removal hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Corpus chooses her preferred officer to oversee her hearing, it could occur in private, if Corpus chooses to, within 30 to 60 calendar days after the officer has been notified. After that hearing is concluded, the hearing officer would have 45 days to submit a written advisory opinion to the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thereafter, the board would have 30 days to act on that advisory opinion,” Nibbelin said, reiterating that Tuesday’s vote “would constitute a final decision of this board to remove the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a child growing up in San Francisco, I never had to ask who Brown was. Church was part of my social life. Beyond worshiping on Sunday, it was a cultural hub, a gathering place for political activism, a place to feel safe.[aside postID=news_12003610 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/022_KQED_CAReparationsTaskForce_04132022_qed-1020x679.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My grandmother attended Third Baptist Church, sang in the choir and even prepared Sunday dinner for fellow congregants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have memories woven into the walls of Third Baptist: attending services in my Easter dress as a child, performing with the Touch of Class Choir from Phillip and Sala Burton High School under musical director Gregory Cole as a teen, and showing up to support friends who had lost loved ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third Baptist wasn’t just a church. It was the heartbeat of Black San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as time passed, gentrification crept in, neighborhoods shifted, elders passed away — and so did the culture of the Black church. As an adult, I realized I hadn’t spent enough time with Brown, learning from him. In this era of generational change in Black leadership, I felt an urgency to support him, to absorb his wisdom while I still could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weight of our current moment — the cultural chaos, the relentless demands of being Black and resilient in a city that often feels indifferent to our struggles — had left me spiritually depleted.

I owe him a debt of gratitude,” Scott said. “As an African American man, I’m so proud of that.

He wants what’s best for everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Assistant Chief David Lazar recalled Brown’s hands-on approach. Twenty-six years ago, when Lazar was a vice officer dealing with prostitution problems in the Mission, Brown — then a member of the Board of Supervisors — insisted on seeing the situation for himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He got in the car with me. That was the first time I met him. We went around and looked at everything,” Lazar recalled. “That’s a perfect example of someone on the ground.
