Today's riddle: Why do fish live in salt water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Dublin Releases Final List Of Mayoral And City Council Candidates (patch.com) — Dublin voters now have a finalized slate of candidates for mayor and City Council Districts 2 and 4, with incumbents Sherry Hu and Kashef Qaadri seeking new terms. Each candidate outlines priorities around public safety, fiscal responsibility, housing, traffic, parks, schools, and support for local businesses, giving residents a clear look at competing visions for Dublin's future.
2. Dublin Affordable Housing Project Near BART Station Remains Stalled After Years Of Delays (patch.com) — Dublin officials are still struggling to secure county land needed for a long-planned affordable housing project next to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, despite years of negotiations. The City Council will hear an update on the stalled transfer this week and decide how staff should proceed, a key step for nearly 100 much-needed affordable units in town.
3. Waymo Just Took a Crucial Step Toward Self-Driving Cars in the 925 Bay Area Telegraph (bayareatelegraph.com) — Dublin is now officially on Waymo's map for future paid, driverless rides after state regulators approved a major expansion of the company's East Bay service area. While no launch date is set, residents can expect mapping cars and gradual testing before robotaxis begin connecting Dublin with nearby Tri-Valley cities and the wider Bay Area under newly cleared safety rules.
4. Camp Parks cuts bugle schedule again, but Dublin cannot enforce it Open Governance (opgov.news) — If you've been hearing bugle calls from Camp Parks, the Army has cut the schedule again to three daily blasts, but Dublin still can't enforce local noise rules on the federal base. City staff are relaying residents' complaints and updating information, yet any further changes depend on continued negotiations with military leadership.
5. Declassified FBI documents provide new details into Swalwell's relationship with suspected Chinese spy (pleasantonweekly.com) — Dublin residents are seeing renewed scrutiny of former local congressman Eric Swalwell as newly declassified FBI documents detail his past ties to suspected Chinese agent Christine Fang but reiterate no evidence of quid pro quo. The report, surfacing amid a special election to replace him, outlines alleged illegal campaign contributions tied to internships while emphasizing investigators ultimately declined prosecution for national security reasons.
