Yesterday, I witnessed firsthand the sight of hundreds of individuals from various corners of the world being dropped onto our streets. This comes on the heels of the closure of the Migrant Resource Center last Friday. The Federal Government left the County without any resources and so far has left 1,300 people stranded and without guidance.

In a world where acts of kindness can sometimes feel few and far between, organizations like Love Esco shine brightly as beacons of hope and positivity.

As we brace for another storm, it's crucial that we are all prepared. Witnessing the impact of the recent storm on our region, we are determined to minimize potential damage. While forecasts can change, we are expecting significant rain starting Thursday and another storm following on Monday.

It is with profound disappointment and deep concern that I express my opposition to the decision allowing the placement of Sexually Violent Predator Alvin Quarles, also known as the "Bolder than Most" rapist, back into San Diego County. 

I wanted to update you on the immigration crisis, which continues to overwhelm our Border Patrol agents and cause a major strain on our local resources.

We are excited to inform you about the latest development regarding transparency and accountability in our county's governance. 

We bid farewell at today's Board of Supervisors meeting and paid tribute to the late Dave Kreitzer. A man of exceptional character, Dave's impact on our community and environment was unparalleled.

A few weeks ago, I shared a successful story about legislation that we passed addressing individuals who have conquered addiction and are now seeking stable housing.

I initiated action for the Board to take an official position and action to oppose the income-based, fixed-rate electricity proposal. Unfortunately, my colleagues voted against this and are in favor of charging people for electricity based on their income.

The Board of Supervisors approved allocating another $3 million for migrant services. I was the lone "no" vote, as this is no way to run a government. The County has already spent $3 million in local dollars, which ran out in less than three months.
