Today's riddle: What did one wall say to the other? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Newsom Signs Seven New Laws Regulating Data Centers Amid Statewide Backlash (sfist.com) — Gilroy has already enacted a moratorium on new data centers, and now seven new state laws will tighten rules on their water use, electricity costs, and environmental review. For local residents, that means any future proposals must disclose resource impacts and pay more of the grid-upgrade bill, as California responds to widespread concern over AI-driven data center growth.
• The Flock Backlash and Growing Revolt Against License Plate Surveillance – The Los Angeles Post (lapost.us) — Organizers say an anti-surveillance coalition now includes communities across Santa Clara County, specifically naming Gilroy among cities pushing back against automated license plate readers. The piece details how immigrant-rights and civil-liberties groups are challenging Flock camera contracts, warning that data sharing can undermine California's sanctuary protections and urging residents to use audits, records requests, and public pressure to influence local policy.
