1. California's new partnership with Anthropic sparks questions about security and state data (kcra.com) — Union City's city government is already using Anthropic's Claude AI under California's new statewide partnership, potentially changing how local staff draft documents and analyze information. While the deal offers discounted access and training, experts warn that relying on a private AI company raises unresolved questions about data security, costs to individual agencies, and who is accountable if tools provide bad information.
2. Two men charged with methamphetamine trafficking after incident near Pierron on Sept. 14 (timestribunenews.com) — One of two men charged after police seized 468 pounds of methamphetamine in Illinois is listed as living in Union City, tying a massive trafficking case back to your community. Prosecutors say the pair were stopped near Interstate 70, where a K-9 search uncovered duffel bags of drugs, and one suspect allegedly fought an officer and tried to flee on foot.
3. Rep. Aisha Wahab Hosting Pleasanton Town Hall (patch.com) — Union City residents are invited to a Sept. 25 Pleasanton town hall with Rep. Aisha Wahab, whose CA-14 district includes your city. She'll discuss priorities like housing, health care, and safety-net programs as she campaigns for a full four-year term this November.
4. This Bay Area Immigrant Rights Organization Is Helping Filipino Caregivers Care for Themselves (kqed.org) — Filipino Advocates for Justice is turning its Union City office into a vital wellness hub for Filipino caregivers, offering Kapwa Circle gatherings, mental health support, and cultural activities. Despite recent state funding cuts and federal immigration crackdowns, the group has secured temporary bridge funding and continues to help local caregivers rest, connect, and learn their rights.
