• Kathrani Challenges San Ramon Development Decisions and Public Oversight at the Only Council Candidate Forum Hosted by DanvilleSanRamon.com City of San Ramon (opgov.news) — San Ramon residents in District 2 are hearing sharp criticism of recent city development and public-participation decisions from council candidate Chirag Kathrani, who argues residents need stronger oversight of planning, housing deals, and council appointments. He questions changes to downtown standards, Measure G references, appeal fees, and a past council vacancy appointment, while the article notes that many of his financial claims aren't independently verified and city officials haven't yet responded.
