Weather forecast:
1. Teen Cannabis Use Increased After CA Legalization: Study (patch.com) — Sacramento readers are reminded that a decade after California legalized recreational cannabis, a major Kaiser Permanente study of Northern California teens shows youth cannabis use rose in the years immediately following legalization, then dipped during the pandemic. As Gov. Gavin Newsom marked the 10-year milestone and highlighted tax revenue, cleared convictions, and enforcement against illegal sales, the findings raise fresh questions about how statewide cannabis policies affect local adolescents.
2. Police arrest suspect in Folsom Business Center burglary case (sacbee.com) — A burglary suspect tied to the Folsom Business Center was arrested this week and briefly booked into Sacramento County Jail before being released Friday. Folsom police say they linked him to missing laptops and key cards using surveillance and body camera footage. The case highlights ongoing property crime concerns in Sacramento County’s eastern suburbs.
3. Sacramento area educators search for jobs amid budget cuts and district competition (kcra.com) — Sacramento-area educators are crowding a regional hiring fair as more than 20 districts and charters, including Sacramento City Unified, recruit amid budget cuts and shifting salaries. Smaller districts like Dixon Unified are boosting pay by trimming positions, while Sacramento City Unified pledges to protect classroom and support roles despite financial pressures.
4. DWR Unveils New Vision to Strengthen Water Management and Climate Resilience in San Joaquin Valley (ca.gov) — State water officials in Sacramento have rolled out a long-term vision to tackle groundwater overdraft, land subsidence, and climate pressures across the San Joaquin Valley, shaping how water is stored and moved statewide. The plan leans on regulatory reforms, new recharge tools, and big infrastructure investments, and will be spotlighted at a Fresno summit later this month.
5. Here's a curious way to say ‘California homes are wildly expensive' (usa-today-news.com) — Sacramento’s housing costs stand out in new Zillow-based comparisons, with typical home values around the high-$500,000s and average rents just over $2,200 a month, both among the priciest in the nation. A columnist shows how, measured in “years of rent,” Sacramento buyers still face a steep burden compared with most U.S. metros.
