Good afternoon!
A break in the rain! I even see some sun from my window. If you failed to catch the debate on pretext stops at Wednesday’s Police Commission meeting, read Eleni’s live blog. I prefer these to the meeting wrap-ups because they give a better sense of what commissioners and others are saying. Do you have a preference?
Annika writes about the ongoing work at 24th and Capp that is now drilling down on Covid-19, RSV and the flu – all in the same test.
Sam Rivera, who runs two safe-injection sites in New York, spoke on a panel about his experience, but Mission residents appeared skeptical.
And today, the Public Defender filed a motion to disqualify the DA from the Troy McAlister case “who is accused of striking and killing 60-year-old Elizabeth Platt and 27-year-old Hanako Abe on New Year’s Eve, 2020, while driving a stolen car.”
Looking toward MLK weekend – there are lots of distractions.
Enjoy,
Lydia
