This news headline on local TV channel CBS8 proves the OB Rag is not the only news site that needs a proof reader. (The Rag is notorious for needing its posts proof read.)
This headline says Councilmember Cabrillo wants something to happen. Trouble is, there is no councilmember named “Cabrillo”. We do have a Cabrillo Monument and numerous other things named after the Spanish explorer and conquistador. But no one by that name on the city council.
We do a Raul Campillo on the council, however.
Obviously, this is just a typo — but it’s in the headline. Ouch! Did a bot or AI read the headline beforehand?
Proposition 1 on the March 2024 state ballot would restructure funding for behavioral health services and provide bond funding for housing for homeless individuals, those at risk of being homeless, and veterans with mental health or substance abuse disorders. Fifty-one percent of likely voters say it is a good time for the state to issue $6.38 billion in bonds, as Prop 1 would do.
Almost 10% more debt possibly added while we’re underwater by $68 billion, as our Governor in an attempt to fix the budget mess, would rather cut $8.5 billion from a variety of funds, including reductions to climate change and housing programs and school facilities. Delays and defers more than $7 billion in funding for transit and intercity rail, early childhood education grants, clean energy and behavioral health housing, while giving Medical for undocumented immigrants.
