November 2, 2015 by Archived posts 37 Comments

By Lauren Pratt |Staff Writer| Increased water conservation has lead to higher water bills.   As costumers are frugally cutting back, water providers in Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay area among other parts of the state, have recently informed residents that rates will go up, at least temporarily, according to Yahoo News.   The Department of Water and Power (DWP) also reported that, due to the almost $111 million revenue drop, the city of Los Angeles is implementing a temporary increase of about $2 per month to customers’ bills to recoup its losses.   Other agencies implementing a temporary increase include Contra Costa Water District, the East Bay … [Read more...] about Water companies’ cash runs dry: public pays the bill

Sexual consent should be taught at all education levels

By Cherae Hunt |Staff Writer| I was raped by my ex-boyfriend two years ago when we were still together. I never felt so used and disgusted with myself in my life, and it still affects me today. I think the importance of sexual consent should be taught nationwide from middle school to undergraduate college students. "Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill into law that makes California the first in the nation to have a clear definition of when people agree to sex. The law goes further than the common 'no means no' standard, which has been blamed for bringing ambiguity into investigations of sexual assault cases. The law will be taught at the high school and college level," according … [Read more...] about Sexual consent should be taught at all education levels

By Aldon Stiles |Staff Writer| Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that bans concealed firearms on college campuses. Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), introduced by Sen. Lois Wolk (D-Davis), extends The Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 to college and university campuses. The Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995 originally banned carrying licensed concealed weapons within 1,000 feet of schools ranging from kindergarten to high school. Professor Brian Levin, professor of criminal law at CSUSB, does not believe that this law will have much impact on gun violence on school grounds. Levin stated in an email, “The law while limiting those with lawful permits, would likely do little to deter the suicidal … [Read more...] about Concealed gun ban on college campuses
