Cyclist demands change after he was struck by wire strung across Milwaukee road by Orthodox Jewish group

A cyclist is demanding change after a wire strung across Lincoln Memorial Drive by an Orthodox Jewish group fell and struck him in the neck.Rabbi Yisroel Lein, of Chabad of the East Side, said the wire was repaired quickly, and he will abide by any changes Milwaukee County officials dictate about the placement of the wire. It is part of a miles-long perimeter of cables around Milwaukee's east side that Lein said is inspected weekly.The eruv, as the perimeter is called, eases Orthodox Jewish residents' Shabbat restrictions. It's a response to a Torah law that prohibits carrying items outside a private space such as a home on Saturdays. The perimeter acts as a symbolic boundary that extends the "home" to the broader neighborhood, allowing Orthodox families to push strollers, walk dogs and carry bags.Still, Ronald Ekker, the cyclist who was […]

SF mayor, city attorney broke law by deleting texts, task force says

The Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, San Francisco’s oversight body responsible for public records and transparency laws, unanimously ruled on Wednesday night that Mayor London Breed and City Attorney David Chiu both violated city law by deleting text messages dealing with official business.The eight members of the task force in attendance — two were absent, one seat is vacant — also unanimously referred the mayor’s actions to the San Francisco Ethics Commission for investigation and possible discipline.“This seems like such an egregious practice,” said Dean Schmidt, an attorney and task force member. “This is a person who’s probably constantly sending messages around the city, and yet … none of them are making it to the public record. I mean that is a quantum violation, in my estimation, of public records laws.”“It means everything’s been deleted,” Schmidt continued, indicating not just a […]

Preston, Mahmood joust over police funding, housing in contentious debate

Bilal Mahmood, an entrepreneur and District 5 supervisor candidate, repeatedly picked fights with incumbent Dean Preston at a Wednesday night debate, scolding the incumbent for saying he would defund the police, and for criticizing national policies around police funding. “You are sending a message to police officers that their work is ‘pointless’ and that is why we are unable to hire staff and we are unable to arrest fentanyl dealers today,” Mahmood said. Preston shot back. “If you want a politician who is just going to, every budget season, write a blank check to this police department of $50 million to $100 million extra, with no accountability on how that’s being spent — if you want that kind of person — maybe he’s [sitting] to my right.”  “He is,” Mahmood agreed “So you’re a rubber stamp for police budgets?” Preston said incredulously at the UC […]

Many people across the Carolinas still are without power. The storm badly damaged major freight routes Interstate 40 and Interstate 26 near the North Carolina and Tennessee border.Now, dockworkers across the eastern half of the country are on strike.
