Congressman TJ Cox wants more rural communities in his district to be eligible for federal funding to provide clean drinking water. On Monday, he announced the Disadvantaged Community Drinking Water Assistance Act in Parlier.
The state Attorney General’s office will take public comment on the California Consumer Privacy Act in Fresno on Thursday.
The 2018 law allows citizens to control how data collected by businesses is used. The law also requires businesses to disclose how the data is shared, honor consumer requests to have the information deleted, and prohibit selling information collected on consumers under 16 without their consent.
The AG is holding a series of meetings throughout the state this week. The law mandates that the office come up with specifics on implementing the law by July 1, 2020.
The meeting in Fresno, open to the public, starts at 10 a.m. in the Hugh Burns Building, Assembly Room #1036 (2550 Mariposa Mall in downtown Fresno).
While employees returned to Fresno City Hall after the long Thanksgiving break on Monday, the power did not.
City workers worked with emergency power provided by a generator. Offices and lobbies were dimly lit, and excess electricity uses like microwaves were a no-no.
The Utility, Billings and Collections counter was closed for about four hours during the darkness.
A problem with the electric power distribution, called a busbar, is to blame.
