A California Highway Patrol investigation into a fatal crash in Sacramento County has resulted in felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter charges against a driver after two e-motorcycle riders were killed on May 20.
While the city manages the fallout of that tragedy, the focus in policy circles remains on the City of Sacramento budget proposal released May 19, which attempts to bridge a $66.2 million deficit through staff cuts. Ezra Klein frames the state government's broader role in California housing policy on The Ezra Klein Show, asking, "What could Sacramento do to get those twenty thousand homes built?"
The city is also hosting the TYR Pro Swim Series this week at the North Natomas Aquatics Complex, offering a brief reprieve from the grim news cycle dominated by recent criminal sentencing and public works celebrations.
