• High school football top 10: Two teams crack into Chronicle's rankings this week (sfchronicle.com) — El Cerrito High's defending state 4-A champion football team suffered a heartbreaking 28-27 loss to Liberty-Brentwood, giving up 28 of the game's final 31 points and a last-second touchdown. The roundup explains how this thriller and other big Bay Area results reshuffled the Chronicle's high school football top-10 rankings.
• AC Transit director harassed female colleague, investigation finds (sfchronicle.com) — El Cerrito Mayor Pro Tem Rebecca Saltzman joined other East Bay transit leaders in circulating an email condemning substantiated gender-based harassment by AC Transit Director Joel Young toward colleague Sarah Syed. Their message, sent as Democrats weighed endorsements in Young's re-election race, argues women in public office should not face unwanted physical contact or see such findings minimized.
• California kills bill regulating Flock cameras even as public rage grows (valleywidenewspaper.com) — El Cerrito is highlighted among California cities that recently ended contracts with Flock Safety license-plate cameras, even as state lawmakers again failed to pass new privacy rules. The piece explains the stalled bill, growing concerns over mass surveillance, and how law enforcement and civil liberties advocates are clashing over how this technology should be used statewide.
