Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Child Dead, 2 Injured in Rancho Cordova 2-Vehicle Crash on Mather Boulevard (pacificattorneygroup.com) — A deadly head-on collision on Mather Boulevard near Douglas Road in Rancho Cordova killed a 10-year-old Mather Heights Elementary student and seriously injured two others Wednesday morning. The crash shut down both directions of Mather between Douglas and Alert for several hours as CHP investigated whether a passing maneuver caused the Hyundai to cross into oncoming traffic.
• Cities often squabble over homelessness. A new California law forces one community to try something different (publicceo.com) — Rancho Cordova is now required by a new state law to join Sacramento, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom and the county in forming a joint powers authority to coordinate homelessness services by January 2028. Supporters say this forced collaboration could streamline help for unhoused residents, while critics worry about added bureaucracy, costs, and the precedent of state-mandated regional governance.
• Feds allege ex-Sacramento council member Loloee, co-defendant were in relationship (sacbee.com) — A federal trial tied to former Sacramento council member Sean Loloee's Viva Supermarkets includes allegations about a co-defendant's relationship with him and her living arrangements, which her attorney disputes. One of the chain's stores is in Rancho Cordova, where prosecutors say workers at Viva locations serving Latino neighborhoods were underpaid and intimidated, and several co-defendants have already pleaded guilty to tax charges.
