Homeless apartments moldy

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Twenty apartments for the homeless in Palo Alto are growing mold, according to a notice of violation issued by the city.

The Opportunity Center at 33 Encina Ave. also has unpermitted repairs and clogged storm drains, Code Enforcement Supervisor Elisa Vargas said

in an April 28 notice to Abode Services, the nonprofit that runs the apartments. Vargas gave Abode until May 29 to address the issues or face $2,000 fines per day.

Abode is appealing the notice because it includes unsubstantiated

claims and units that haven’t been affected, spokesman Chris De Benedetti said in an email.

Affected tenants have been offered comparable apartments while their homes are being remediated, and no one has been displaced, De Benedetti

NEWSOM’S FINAL BUDGET: Gov. Gavin Newsom has unveiled his final budget proposal. The plan presented yesterday includes no deficit for his last year of office and the next. It is a $350 billion spending plan that includes little new spending but also avoids major cuts. Revenues are $16.5 billion higher than projected, thanks to the booming stock market and the AI industry.

XI’S WARNING: China’s Xi Jinping has warned President Trump that their two countries could clash over Taiwan if the issue is not handled properly. Taiwan is a self-ruled island that China claims as part of its territory.

Board puts tax on ice

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

Las Lomitas School District will not put a parcel tax on the November ballot after a survey showed a lack of support after two years of controversy at the two-school district.

The district’s polling showed less than twothirds support from residents, which is needed to pass a parcel tax, Bryan Godbe, president of Godbe Research, told the board.

The pollster gave residents two options of a $695 per parcel annually and a $495 parcel tax. The lower tax received more support, but it was still not enough for the district to consider a tax, Godbe said. The district has been eyeing a parcel tax to close a $2 million deficit.

Jail understaffed when inmate died

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

A Santa Clara County jail was understaffed and had no guards monitoring security cameras when an inmate from Mountain View was beaten to death, a police auditor said in a report released

yesterday. Sheriff Bob Jonsen should use AI to monitor inmates, enlarge screens for guards to watch and make safety checks less predictable, police auditor Julie Ruhlin said.

“As seen on video, the suspects had other allied inmates tracking deputy

movement, and they ended their assault approximately five minutes before the next scheduled hourly check,” Ruhlin said in her report.

Glenn Allen Waters ¢ ¢

Glenn Allen Waters, age 74 passed away on April 25, 2026.

Glenn was a longtime resident of East Palo Alto and Menlo Park and graduated from Ravenswood High School. He excelled in carpentry and furniture refinishing. His family still possesses furniture pieces he worked on and cherishes them. He also had a beautiful singing voice and sang in a local group called the LoveMen. His life partner was Elaine Johnson, who died in 2020. They had two children: Glenn Jr (Georgia) and Adrean (deceased 2020). A great cook, he loved being in the kitchen.

Glenn relocated to Tacoma Washington in 2020 where he passed away.

He is survived by his son and nine grandchildren. Also sisters Crystal Jordan and Gail Mowatt of Tacoma, WA and Phyllis Waters of Mountain View, CA, along with many nieces and nephews and their children.

He will always be in his family’s thoughts. Services will be held in Washington State.

Marion Eugene “Gene” Cavanaugh ¢¢

Marion Eugene “Gene” Cavanaugh, a pioneering engineer and devoted family man, passed away last Saturday at his home in Mountain View, California, at the age of 95.

Born in Childress, Texas, he later became a long-time resident of Palo Alto, California. During the early years of the semiconductor industry, he worked with Texas Instruments designing some of the first semiconductor chips. In the 1960s he also taught solid state physics to engineers and later authored patents based in quantum physics. Gene was also a patent attorney, but his passion was electronics.

Above all, he was a deeply loving father who instilled confidence and empathy in his children.

He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Joyce Cavanaugh, whom he married in 1957; his daughters Laura Rasmussen, Rhonda Bachman, and Angela Cavanaugh; his grandchildren Rashelle Rasmussen, Cameron Bachman, and Enrique Avalos; and his great-grandchildren Kaito Oku and Nanami Oku.

He will be remembered not only for his brilliant mind, but for the quiet kindness, encouragement, and love he gave his family throughout his life.

Gene will be interned at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno on Friday May 15th. His family will have a celebration of life at Cypress Point Woods at 306 Central Avenue in Mountain View from 3pm to 5pm on the same day.

Town’s budget gap may bring new tax

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

A Portola Valley councilwoman is worried residents are unaware of the town’s $700,000 budget shortfall, leading to the town’s likely November ballot measure.

Councilwoman Helen Wolter said only the few residents who attended the meeting on Wednesday know that the town is preparing a charter to place its own transfer tax on property sales on the November ballot.

The town held its first meeting on Wednesday to review a draft of the charter, and the council received only one written comment.

Transfer tax called unfair

Resident William Urban opposed the charter because it would lead to the town having its own transfer tax on property sales.

The transfer tax would be unfair for property sellers or buyers because only a small number of property owners would pay a large tax each year and nothing would be paid by other property owners, Urban wrote.

Council has also not discussed whether there would be any exemptions for reasons such as property transfers within a family or estate settlement, he said.

Councilwoman Judith Hasko said it may be premature to tie the charter and the tax together to make the charter as simple as possible for residents.

Councilwoman Rebecca Flynn was concerned about whether the town could, in the future, impose a different tax by including the transfer tax in the charter.

Town Manager Darcy Smith said the town would still be able to impose other taxes. She said she would address the benefits of including the transfer tax in the charter at a future meeting.

Wolter said the town should have an informational pop-up at Roberts Market or at the farmers market to better inform residents on the charter and the town’s finances.

Looming deficit

The town’s expenses have outpaced its revenue, said Smith. They have been trying to address the $700,000 deficit, but it’s looming, she said. The cost of town employees, emergency services and projects have increased, Smith said.

Council has an Aug. 7 deadline to place a measure on the November 2026 ballot. In July, council is set to vote on whether to place the measure on the ballot. The next discussion about the charter will be on June 24.

sparks asset fight

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

A Los Altos inventor who allegedly killed his wife in Taiwan has been accused of hiding his assets from her parents to avoid paying them $23.6 million from a wrongful death lawsuit.

Harald Herchen, 67, allegedly transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars to his new wife Kim Ngo while he was in jail and moved his 2022 Porsche Cayenne to his daughter Sandra Herchen’s house in San Francisco.

Now Ngo and Sandra Herchen are being sued by the family of Mountain View tutor Alice Ku, 37, who disappeared on a trip with Herchen seven years ago.

New wife, daughter targeted Ngo and Sandra Herchen “intended to hinder, defraud and delay (Ku’s parents) in their efforts to recover their judgment,” the lawsuit said.

Ngo is Herchen’s fourth wife. She filed a motion against having her bank accounts inspected going back to November 2019, arguing the subpoena is “a fishing expedition.”

Sandra Herchen, 29, said she’s been unjustly targeted by Ku’s family to put pressure on her father. She offered to provide his Porsche Cayenne to Ku’s family, the court or law enforcement.

Sandra Herchen “candidly wants nothing to do with said vehicle,” her attorney said in a motion.

Santa Clara County Sheriff Bob Jonsen seized and sold Harald Herchen’s other car — a Toyota Land Cruiser — and garnished $610,998 from two bank accounts, court records show.

Sandra Herchen and her brother Tim-

othy Herchen filed a claim saying they have a 50% ownership interest in the Los Altos home, because it’s owned by a trust set up by their deceased mother. The house on Lundy Lane is estimated to be worth $4.5 million, and they’re worried Jonsen will sell it for less.

Harald Herchen sold houses in Texas and Palo Alto before the wrongful death trial. He is due back in court on June 10 so Ku’s family can further examine his assets.

Path to Taiwan

Herchen grew up in Canada, served in the Canadian military and received a PhD from Stanford. He worked at Applied Materials from 1994 to 2009.

Herchen then moved to Bloom Energy in San Jose, where he received more than 60 patents for parts that convert natural gas to electricity.

Herchen said he met Ku online in 2013 or 2014. His second wife, Melissa Yu, died from sleep apnea in Los Altos on June 3, 2017. She was 54.

Ku and Herchen married four months later on Oct. 6, 2017.

Ku disappeared on Nov. 29, 2019, after visiting Taroko National Park in Taiwan with Herchen — their seventh trip to the country.

Ku’s family sued Herchen in January 2021 and had a jury trial in July.

Perjury case

Deputy District Attorney Rob Baker charged Herchen with perjury on Sept. 9 for his inconsistencies at the trial. Herchen was released on bail on Jan. 20 and is due back in court for the criminal case on June 15, court records show.

Shooting injures 2

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

An East Palo Alto man who was convicted for murder as a teen is now in jail again for attempted murder, a prosecutor said.

Taje Jakkar Holliman, 35, was arrested on Saturday for a shooting that injured two victims, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.

Holliman was driving a white Ford Fusion when he was chasing a gray Honda on Saturday, around 3:40 p.m., and stopped at the 2300 block of Clarke Avenue, Wagstaffe said. Holliman shot four bullets at the car, injuring the driver in his abdomen and the passenger with a cut on his head, the DA said.

The victim with the cut on his head took the wheel from the driver and

drove him home to treat his wound and call the police, Wagstaffe said. After East Palo Alto police arrived, the driver was taken to Stanford Hospital.

The driver survived the incident and is continuing to recover, police said in a statement.

Cameras track suspect

Police used Flock Safety cameras to locate Holliman’s car and found that he drove to Stockton, Wagstaffe said.

Holliman was arrested at 5:30 p.m. the same day, and police found a handgun and methamphetamine in his car. He is in jail on no bail. Holliman will be in court on May 29.

Holliman was previously convicted when he was a teen for murder in another county, Wagstaffe said. Because he was prosecuted as a teen, details can not be disclosed, Wagstaffe said.

Access to abortion pill left unchanged

The Supreme Court yesterday preserved women’s access to a drug used in the most common method of abortion, rejecting lower-court restrictions while a lawsuit continues.

The court’s order allows women seeking abortions to continue obtaining the drug, mifepristone, at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor. Access is likely to remain uninterrupted at least until into next year as the case plays out, including a potential appeal to the high court.

The justices granted emergency requests from makers of mifepristone, who are appealing a federal appeals court ruling that would require women to see a doctor in person and halt de-

livery of mifepristone through the mail. The Food and Drug Administration stopped requiring in-person visits five years ago.

Two justices dissent

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, with Thomas writing that the two companies, Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro, are not entitled to the court’s action to spare them “lost profits from their criminal enterprise.”

Anti-abortion groups, frustrated with President Trump’s administration, are pushing the FDA to move faster with a review that they hope will result in restrictions on mifepristone.

MONTHLY SERIES HIGHLIGHTING INDUSTRY EXPERTS

She Built the Company She NeededThe Stephanie Peters Story

Stephanie Peters did not set out to build a movement. She set out to solve a problem — her own. As a new mother with professional ambitions and a passion for older adults that refused to shrink, she looked around at the businesses she admired and realized none of them were built for her. So she built one herself. What began as a practical, even selfdescribed “selfish” solution quietly evolved into something far greater: enABLE Care Management, a company rooted in the radical idea that older adults deserve an unbiased advocate — and that the women who serve them deserve a real, flexible career.

After years working across home care, memory care, and co-founding both a placement agency and a software platform in the aging space, she noticed a recurring need: families wanted to hire her to stay involved and advocate for them throughout the entire aging journey, right through the end of life. That question changed everything. It led her to discover the existing field of care management, learn hard lessons about business, and eventually built a care management division under a colleague’s home care umbrella. With an agreement that she would one day take the care management division independent, she spent five years building it

before launching enABLE Care Management in September of 2018.

The mission has two pillars, and Stephanie holds both with equal conviction. First: every aging individual deserves an unbiased advocate — one not financially tied to a home care agency or any referral incentive. She aims to prove that a caremanagement-only company can scale, not just survive. Second: care management must become a respected, growth-oriented career path, especially for women — one where professionals can build a sustainable livelihood without choosing between family, ambition, and humanity.

That intersection has been tested. Early in her career, a client with no remaining family entrusted Stephanie, who had two young children at the time, with the coordination and management of her estate, her care, and ultimately her final moments. Stephanie held her hand as she took her last breath. It was a defining experience that clarified the profound weight of this work and the absolute necessity of clear, ethical professional boundaries. She learned you can care deeply while maintaining a balance that allows you to show up as your best self.

That lesson now shapes how enABLE operates. Clients never have just one care manager, which is the traditional model. They have two, often three or four, all working within a multidisciplinary team, working with every client holistically. The model is intentionally built so that no single person carries everything alone—because burnout is real, boundaries erode under pressure, and no single person—whether client, family, or care manager— can know and be everything for another. Staff meetings regularly address the emotional weight,

integrity, and kindness necessary for the work. Vulnerability is not a weakness at enABLE; it is modeled from the top.

Stephanie leads by taking chances to grow the industry, admitting mistakes, naming when something is hard, and asking for support. She has done every part of the business, including the frontline work, herself — sat at bedsides, navigated family conflict, witnessed the best and worst of what aging can look like. That experience means her business model and company policies are built on truth and thoughtful reflection, not theory or finance metrics.

When asked how she wants to be remembered, she does not hesitate. She was real. She genuinely cared. She tried hard to do right by people. Simple words — but in a field where older adults are too often invisible, they are everything.

Enable’s core purpose, distilled after years of reflection, is five words: We are here to help.

Stephanie hopes that ten years from now, people simply say, “Enable made life better.” Given everything she has already built, that outcome feels less like a wish and more like a promise.

Indeed’s mission is to help create a better world for our seniors and caregivers. They offer a wide range of home care services across the Bay Area.

How to vet social media health tips

Health and wellness advice is available in abundance on social media — from trendy to informative to straightup disinformation — and you’re far from alone in seeing it.

A new survey by the Pew Research Center finds that about 4 in 10 U.S. adults — and around half of those under 50 — get health information from social media or podcasts.

Influencer class

Researchers looked at the social media profiles of 6,828 health and wellness influencers with at least 100,000 followers. Only about 4 in 10 list a background as a health professional. About one-third called themselves coaches, about 3 in 10 described themselves as entrepreneurs and about 1 in 10 cited their own life experience, like being a parent.

Despite the wide range of expertise, about half of people who get health and wellness information from influencers

said the influencers help them better understand their own health, while about one-third said it hasn’t made much difference. About 1 in 10 said it made them more confused.

Experts say a bit of skepticism is key to interacting with posts about fitness, mental health and personal health. Here are their tips on how to be a smarter consumer.

Verify their credentials

Experts said the biggest green flag is when an influencer’s credentials are easy to find on their profile. Beware the fill-in-the-blank “coach” who can’t prove their training.

Courtney Babilya, a certified medical exercise specialist and personal trainer who has more than 430,000 followers on Instagram, has seen this with maternity content: “Someone has a baby and suddenly they’re a pregnancy coach.”

“We have to be careful with people

who have an experience in one thing and suddenly become a ‘coach’ on that,” she said.

Coach is a business model, not a sign of training. Babilya shares her own experience dealing with chronic illness online, but keeps it separate from her professional advice.

“You do have an obligation to make sure that you are not giving someone a false idea or spreading a message that isn’t going to be applicable to everyone,” she said.

Don’t fall for viral shock

If it brings up big emotions, pause. For people who can’t access care or feel unheard by their doctors, an offbeat opinion could feel like a long-sought answer. The Pew survey found 53% of uninsured people got health information from social media, compared to 38% of those who were insured.

But people who are trying to share good medical information online are

not trying to incite fear or surprise, said Dr. Fatima Daoud Yilmaz, an OB-GYN at Stony Brook Medicine in New York, whose popular “Feminine Aisle” video series rates drug store products.

Even if the person has expertise, ask yourself: Are they speaking outside the scope of their knowledge? Is what they’re saying in line with scientific consensus?

“All opinions are not created equal when it comes to something such as health or medicine or science,” said Daoud.

Find a doctor you trust

Confirm with a trusted health professional before acting on anything you see online.

Influencers can say anything while medical professionals are ethically and legally liable for your care, and “may face professional and personal consequences for the advice that they give you,” Daoud said.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR 2026-2027 LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN AND BUDGET

5/15/26

CNS-4036188# DAILY POST

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR)

Project Title: The R3 Zoning District Update Project City/County: City of Mountain View, County of Santa Clara Public Review Period: May 15, 2026 through June 29, 2026

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Mountain View (City) has prepared a programmatic Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the R3 Zoning District Update Project (the Project, Zoning Update), pursuant to and in accordance with Title 14, Section 15060(d) of the California Code of Regulations, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the State of California CEQA Guidelines. The City is accepting comments on the Draft EIR during the required 45-day public review and comment period. The Draft EIR document is available in print format for public review at the following locations during their respective business hours:

• City of Mountain View Community Development Department, 500 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041

• Mountain View Public Library, 585 Franklin St, Mountain View, CA 94041

A full copy of the Draft EIR and all Project documents can be found at: https://www.mountainview.gov/r3zoningupdate

Written public comments must be submitted by 5:00 PM on June 29, 2026.

Written comments may be submitted via e-mail or via U.S. Mail to the following addresses: Email: Eric.Anderson2@mountainview.gov

Mail: City of Mountain View Community Development Department Attn: Eric Anderson, Planning Manager 500 Castro Street, PO Box 7540 Mountain View, CA 94039-7540

Project Location:

The Zoning Update could affect approximately 8,350 parcels over approximately 1,260 acres throughout the City of Mountain View.

Project Background and Description:

The R3 Zoning District Update Project involves the creation of several subdistricts under the R3 zoning designation and amendments to additional existing zoning districts to support multi-family housing development. The Project would introduce new zoning subdistricts, some of which would include an increase in allowed density. Additionally, all subdistricts will include new/updated development standards.

These changes aim to support diverse housing types, including middle-income create opportunities for neighborhood-serving commercial, and align with recent state laws. The Project would also incorporate Mountain View 2023-2031 Housing Element programs 1.3(a), (c), (e), and (h), which address development feasibility, live-work opportunities, the integration of R2-zoned properties into the R3 zone to advance key policy goals, and allowance for SB 9 type development, plus ADUs, in remaining R2 areas. Full buildout associated with the R3 Zoning District Update would result in up to 10,000-16,000 additional residential units through the year 2050, consisting of existing development potential for roughly 1,200 existing units plus potential for approximately 8,800-14,800 additional units.

In addition, other code updates may be included with the Project, including implementation of Housing Element Program 1.5, which would allow improvements on properties that are currently developed with nonconforming from a residential zoning designation to the Public Facilities Zoning District. Draft EIR Analysis:

The Draft EIR focuses on the resource areas/issues applicable to this Project. Project and includes mitigation measures that may lessen or avoid such impacts, as feasible. Adoption of the zoning updates would not approve any physical development (e.g., construction of housing or infrastructure). The Draft EIR evaluates a reasonable range of Project alternatives that, consistent with CEQA, meet most of the proposed Project objectives and reduce or avoid potential environmental effects.

Mitigation measures are included in the EIR to reduce impacts to less-thanfor impacts to Greenhouse Gas Emissions and cumulative impacts to Air Quality and Transportation. In accordance with Government Code Section 65962.5, a total of 39 open or active hazardous materials sites and 243 closed or inactive sites are within the Project area.

If you have questions regarding this Notice, please contact Eric Anderson, Planning Manager at (650) 903-6306 or Eric.Anderson2@mountainview.gov. along with an opportunity to request email updates: https://www.mountainview. gov/r3zoningupdate.

What to know as BTS plays at Stanford

The South Korean pop band BTS will perform at Stanford Stadium tomorrow, Sunday and Tuesday as part of their first tour in four years.

A few things to know

• Palo Altans should expect more traffic and will hear music each night the band performs. Amplified sound will be audible starting at approximately 5:30 p.m. through 10 on show nights, Stanford said in an announcement. The concerts will conclude at 10 each night.

• There will be fireworks at each concert.

• The shows quickly sold out back in January, when tickets went on sale. Online resellers list ticket prices ranging over $200 for Saturday’s concert.

• At Stanford, BTS will play to a

combined audience of about 150,000 over the three days.

• What does BTS mean? The name stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan (Bulletproof Boy Scouts), and later added the meaning “Beyond the Scene.”

• BTS is comprised of seven members: RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook.

Let’s Talk Birds

• Big bands also have followers. The Grateful Dead have Deadheads. BTS’ fans are known as “ARMY,” which stands for Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth.

• Why hasn’t BTS performed in four years? In 2021, the pandemic stopped them from touring. Then the seven members of the band had to fulfill mandatory South Korean military service. Now they’ve been released from the military, so they’ve begun this worldwide tour. Old-timers might recall that in 1958 Elvis had to put his career on hold after he was drafted and served in the Army.

• BTS is known for blending hip-hop, R&B and pop, music writers have said. Their music addresses mental health, the pressures of youth, and self-love, often using literature and psychology

Hey everyone!

My name is Cedrik von Briel, and I am a sales associate and bird walk guide for Birder’s Garden in San Carlos, California. I am a current Wildlife and Communications junior at Cal Poly Humboldt in Eureka, California, but have over eight years of birding experience in the Bay Area. Over that time, I have picked up a fair share of bird movement trends down on the Peninsula, and have a breadth of knowledge to share. This monthly column is designed to give you information on what to look for this month in the bird world, in the hopes that you’ll get out there and explore!

the omnipresent yard-nesting Dark-eyed Juncos and Mourning Doves. Many will soon follow! Along the waterfront, cute Black-necked Stilt chicks have already begun popping up, as have adorable broods of Canada Geese and Mallard. Even raptors are getting in on the action, with four new Peregrine Falcon chicks at the Devil’s Slide nest, and a pair of Bald Eagles in Pescadero hatching a little fuzzball a week ago.

May is peak spring migrationWOOHOO!! All of our familiar summer birds should be arriving in full force this month, so be sure to check your local park or tree stand! Look for days with south winds, overcast skies, and sometimes a slight drizzle, which can together push migrating birds down from the skies and into our sights. May also marks the month of the first Western Wood-Pewees, Olive-sided Flycatchers, and Swainson’s Thrush arriving in our area, but look out for rarer migrants like Cassin’s Vireo, Purple Martin, and Yellowbreasted Chat as well. Be sure to join me at my Coyote Point walk on May 19th at 10 a.m. to catch a glimpse of some of these!

Another reason to enjoy May are the baby birds! Many of our resident species here in the Bay will actually start the breeding process in April, hatching their young at the beginning to middle of this month. Some birds that have already been seen with young include Orangecrowned Warblers, Western Bluebirds and

Your only complete source for backyard birding supplies on the Peninsula.

Finally, look out for any lost birds. Midto-late May is a celebrated time among birders here on the Peninsula as “rarity season” and should not be skipped! Birds that should be migrating on the East Coast or centrally end up going west due to weather or faulty internal navigation systems, unknowingly hitting our coast. While this happens at all times of year (especially in the fall), spring can bring birds in bright plumage and amazing song that make them easier to track, making for a much more amazing experience.

concepts in their storytelling. For instance, the song “Young Forever” sends a comforting message to young people in despair whose dreams meet obstacles. Moreover, BTS members write and produce their music, giving their work the feel of authenticity that differentiates them from some mass-produced K-pop groups.

• As the Post first reported on Jan. 14, Santa Clara County Principal Planner Robert Salisbury granted Stanford a permit to host a three-night concert series at the stadium on May 16, 17 and 19.

• Stanford says such concerts benefit the region. Stanford cites an Oxford Economics study that said last year’s Coldplay concerts at Stanford generated approximately $32 million for the regional economy.

Hooded Warbler

A top California Democratic political aide pleaded guilty yesterday to charges including conspiracy to commit bank fraud related to a scheme to steal campaign funds from Xavier Becerra when he served as the federal health secretary.

The case has drawn attention to Becerra in his bid for California governor, with voting underway and concluding June 2. Several of Becerra’s rivals blasted him over the scandal at a televised debate last night, trying to make him appear unfit for office. Becerra punched back, noting he hasn’t been implicated.

“Accept the facts,” he said.

Dana Williamson entered the plea in

court in Sacramento. In the agreement, she admits to three of the 23 counts of which she was initially charged. Williamson is a former top campaign adviser to Becerra and formerly served as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s chief of staff. Newsom hasn’t been implicated.

Potential penalties

The plea deal says the maximum sentence for the bank fraud charge is 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. But Williamson’s defense attorney, McGregor Scott, said he expected it to be no more than three years based on federal sentencing guidelines. He plans to argue for even less.

The federal indictment alleged that

Williamson developed a plan with co-conspirators including Sean McCluskie, a longtime Becerra aide. The scheme was to siphon money from one of Becerra’s dormant state campaign accounts to give to McCluskie to pad his salary after he accepted a job as Becerra’s chief of staff in Washington.

McCluskie signed a plea agreement Oct. 30 in which he admitted to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud, according to court filings. He agreed to pay back the $225,000 he took from the account.

Scott said McCluskie dreamed

up the theft scheme because he was facing financial difficulties and Williamson joined because she wanted to help him out of a tough spot. “She was simply trying to help a friend in a pinch as best she could,” Scott said.

Trusted Dem adviser

Williamson is a longtime Democratic power player in Sacramento known for her savvy and aggressive style, often unafraid to spar publicly and privately with those who disagree with her. She was a Cabinet secretary for former

Gov. Jerry Brown before opening her own political affairs firm and later rejoining state government as Newsom’s chief of staff.

Becerra is a former member of Congress who was appointed California attorney general in 2017 to fill a vacancy and reelected in 2018 with Williamson running his campaign. Former President Joe Biden later appointed him as secretary of Health and Human Services.

Becerra hasn’t commented on Williamson’s plea deal. In November, he said the “accusations of impropriety by a long-serving trusted adviser are a gut punch.”

sues raised.” Vargas said the city received complaints about the Opportunity Center in October and conducted multiple inspections that found water damage and mold in three hallways and apartments from the second to fifth floor.

the district’s finances after the October 2024 teacher strike over higher pay and expenses incurred by former Superintendent Beth Polito.

Audit done

Follow-up inspections found water damage in a medical clinic and a manager’s office on the first floor, according to city records.

Work to be done

The Opportunity Center needs to clear storm drains on the west side of the building and re-grade decomposed granite on the south side that isn’t draining, Vargas said.

The Opportunity Center will need a professional to clear each apartment of moisture and mold, Vargas said.

Opportunity Center representatives met with a building inspector on Wednesday to get a permit to replace water-damaged sheetrock and insulation in 11 apartments and community rooms on the first and second floor, city records show.

About the center

The Opportunity Center is a five-story, 88-unit apartment building for people at risk of being homeless, next to the Town and Country Shopping Center.

Abode Services runs the apartments, and the nonprofit LifeMoves offers services on the first floor.

The building opened in 2006. About 60% of construction costs were paid for by public money, and 40% was covered by donors. Tenants pay rent based on their income.

TAX ------------–

fort,” Godbe said at the board’s May 6 meeting. The district has to better communicate what it plans to use the money for, he said. The poll was conducted from March 30 to April 12 to see if there is support for a parcel tax.

Board members had rejected making budget cuts, such as cutting bus drivers and asking parents to pay for bus pickup, or eliminating jobs and programs at the district’s two schools, La Entrada and Las Lomitas.

Reputation deserved

Board member Jason Morimoto said the community’s view of the district’s lack of financial accountability is deserved.

“I think some of it was self-inflicted by the last two years,” Morimoto said. Residents and employees scrutinized

An audit by the San Mateo County Office of Education found that the $160 birthday cake Polito charged to a district credit card in 2022 was one example of a potentially inappropriate gift of public funds. She also charged $4,039 to the district credit card for retirement parties and $325 for gift cards, according to the audit.

The auditors found insufficient evidence to indicate fraud, misappropriation of funds or other illegal practices occurred.

The District Attorney’s office also conducted an investigation into Polito’s spending, but did not find anything that rose to the level of fraud, in part because the district didn’t have certain policies in place to protect itself from possible misuse of funds.

Come a long way

The district has come a long way from those situations, but there is still a need to increase the trust in the community, Morimoto said.

The polling results were not what the board hoped for, and in the back of his mind, he is still thinking about how expenditures will rise faster than their revenue opportunities, Morimoto said.

The district gets its revenue from local property taxes. The district currently has a $311 per parcel tax, passed in 2007, that raises $1.2 million annually. That tax has no expiration date, which is extremely rare, board member Paige Winikoff previously said.

Against it the whole time

“My problem with the whole issue is not whether we can get a parcel tax, but whether we should ask for a parcel tax because of my commitment to the constituents and the voters,” Winkioff said. Winkioff was against the polling because the district is still in the beginning of rebuilding community trust in its ability to manage finances.

Board President Kimberly Legg said the polling was important for establishing a benchmark and will help rebuild trust.

JAIL ------------–

Milpitas, three were vacant during the assault on Jan. 27, 2025. “This was not uncommon at the time, with housing areas at the jails generally running at below what had been determined to be ideal staffing levels,” Ruhlin said. None of the guards were negligent, Ruhlin said. Oscar Umul Xicay, 23, of

Mountain View, was attacked by Nortenos who believed he was a member of MS-13, according to the police report.

Jordan Haase, 39, and Jose Rufino, 19, both of San Jose, allegedly pulled Umul Xicay into the showers and punched him “aggressively and repeatedly.” They kept punching Umul Xicay in the head by the bunk beds and kicked him into a window, causing the glass to shatter, police said.

Didn’t fight back

Haase and Rufino then kicked and stomped Umul Xicay while he was motionless on the ground, police said.

“At no point in the surveillance footage did victim Oscar fight back,” the police report said.

The attack started at 11:45 a.m. and ended at 11:56 a.m., and jail guards found Umul Xicay during a routine check at 12:03 p.m.

At the hospital, surgeons removed part of Umul Xicay’s skull because of brain swelling, and he died a week later.

Why he was in jail

Umul Xicay was in jail for allegedly vandalizing a keypad at the Mountain View police headquarters 12 hours earlier. He had shaken the keypad and run

away from officers who approached him, according to court records.

Ruhlin said the sheriff should’ve looked at whether Umul Xicay could’ve been cited and released instead.

Pedro Arevalos, 42, of San Mateo, allegedly orchestrated the attack.

Trial next week

He’s facing murder and torture charges with Haase and Rufino. They’re scheduled to go to trial next week.

Rufino’s attorney has offered two possible defense for Rufino: that he was pressured by Arevalos, and that he intended only to assault Umul Xicay, not kill him.

Three more inmates — Alex Arreola, 34, Ricardo Charles, 20, and Alexavier Victor Rodriguez, 20 — helped plan the attack and keep other inmates away.

All three have admitted to conspiracy and participating in a criminal street gang.

Arreola will be sentenced on June 3, and Charles will be sentenced on Sept. 23, court records show. They face up to three years in prison.

Rodriguez admitted to an unrelated robbery charge and was sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison on May 12, court records show.

DEATH ROW PRISONER FREED: An Oklahoma man who has narrowly avoided execution three separate times could walk free from a county jail after a judge agreed to grant him bond while awaiting retrial. Judge Natalie Mai yesterday set bond for Richard Glossip in the amount of $500,000. Glossip has long maintained his innocence in the 1997 murder-for-hire killing of his former boss.

Economists worry spending will fall off in coming months as benefits from the refunds dissipate, and shoppers continue to grapple with the cumulative impact of rising gas prices at the pump.

TRAVEL BOND EXEMPTION: The Trump administration is suspending a requirement that foreign visitors from countries that have qualified for the World Cup and have bought tickets for the soccer tournament pay as much as $15,000 in bonds to enter the U.S.

Questions can be answered by calling the Development Services Department at (650) 9472750 or sent via email to planning@losaltosca.gov.

Notice is hereby given that the Mountain View Whisman School District has determined that prospective bidders on Mountain View Whisman School District construction projects during the calendar year 2026 must be pre-qualified prior to submitting bids. Prequalification approval will remain valid for one (1) calendar year from the date of notice of qualification, unless modified as stated below.

All contractors with the following license classifications must be prequalified to bid on projects: “A”, “B”, “C-4”, “C-7”, “C-10”, “C-16”, “C-20”, “C-34”, “C-36”, “C-38”, “C-42”, “C-43” or “C-46”. Pre-qualification is not a guarantee that contractors will be allowed to bid the projects. Certain projects may impose additional experience requirements. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid on a project as a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid.

Pre-qualification applications may be submitted twice a year: (1) from December 1 through December 10 and (2) from June 15 through June 25. If the ending date falls on a Sunday, packages will be due the next day no later than 12 noon.

NOTICE OF HEARING

Date: July 28, 2026: Time 8:45 am, Dept. N/A, Room: Probate Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara 191 N. First Street, San Jose, CA 95113 Santa Clara Superior Court

A copy of this Order to Show Cause shall be published at least once each week for four successive weeks prior to the date set for hearing on the petition in the following newspaper of general circulation, printed in this county: THE DAILY POST Dated: 4/30/26 /s/ Hon. Charles F. Adams Judge of the Superior Court

The Daily Post May 1, 8, 15, 22, 2026

Contractors who submit a complete pre-qualification package will be notified by first class mail of their qualification status, such notice to be mailed no later than twenty business days after the final deadline date of each submission period. The Mountain View Whisman School District’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria. Pre-qualification approval will remain valid for one (1) calendar year from the date of notice of qualification, except that the Mountain View Whisman School District reserves the right during that calendar year to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the pre-qualification ratings based on subsequently learned information and after giving notice of the proposed action to the Contractor and an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a pre-qualification determination. The Mountain View Whisman School District also reserves the right to require prequalification for specific projects with additional prequalification requirements for a specific project.

Pre-qualification packets are available at the District’s Construction Manager’s Greystone West Co., website: https://www.greystonewest.com under the Bid Information Tab.

Pre-qualification packages should be submitted in a sealed envelope and marked “CONFIDENTIAL” to Mountain View Whisman School District, Attn: Rebecca Westover, Chief Business Officer, 1400 Montecito Way, Mountain View, CA 94043.

The pre-qualification packages (questionnaire answers and financial statements) submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for pre-qualification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that purpose.

Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the Mountain View Whisman School District and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury. Mountain View Whisman School District reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information contained in the pre-qualification application submitted, to make all final determinations, and to determine at any time that the pre-qualification procedures will not be applied to a future public works project

A contractor who has submitted a completed application form, and who receives a rating of “not qualified” from Mountain View Whisman School District may appeal that determination. There is no appeal from a finding that a contractor is not pre-qualified because of a failure to submit required information, but re-application during the designated time period is permitted.

Note: A contractor may be found not pre-qualified for bidding on a specific public works contract to be let by Mountain View Whisman School District, or on all contracts to be let by Mountain View Whisman School District until the contractor meets Mountain View Whisman School District’s requirements. In addition, a contractor may be found not pre-qualified for either:

(1) Omission of requested information or (2) Falsification of information
