8/20/21 Hi Sajit, (Sajit Khan candidate for Santa Clara County District Attorney 2022)
As promised I’m sending around the piece I wrote on the Brock Turner case back about the same time frame (June-July 2016) you wrote your article on the same topic. Unlike you I standby my piece and believe it wasappropriately respectful of both sexual assault victims, public safety, and restorative justice-drawing the correct balance between public safety and the need for applying a restorative justice (or as you so eloquently putit, a holistic model) between sexual assault victims, first time offenders, be they poor, people of color or members of the dominant caste.
I look forward to you criticizing my piece and even attacking it-if you find I have fallen short in appropriately balancing the needs of sexual assault victims and first time offenders.
Similarly, if you believe my support for former Judge Persky was misguided, and he deserves what he received-to be recalled for the sentence he imposed in the Turner case; don’t hesitate to blast me with criticism.
To Jeff Rosen (the current Santa Clara County District Attorney) or anyone else receiving this email feel free to attack my views on this matter. It’s all about the learning process. What say you?
Best regards,
Community activist,
Aram

Highlights below--
Bay Area Economic Update and Outlook—August 2021—Slow Job Growth Understates Bay
Area Economic Strength
The Bay Area posted modest but disappointing job gains since March. At the same time VC
funding is strong, people are reentering the workforce and housing permits have begun to
rebound. The U.S. economic outlook and federal policies have improved with positive
implications for our region. The Bay Area still faces challenges in housing and other areas
that affect our economic competitiveness and, in doing so, reduce our ability to meet equity
and environmental goals.
The highlights:
The Bay Area added 119,300 jobs between January and July 2021 and the regional
unemployment rate fell from 6.6% to 5.7%. Job gains were led by the San Francisco
and San Jose metro areas and a rebound in the restaurant and tourist sectors.
The U.S, and Bay Area economic outlook has been upgraded by the $1.9 billion
COVID relief package, the likely passage of a major infrastructure package, and
positive movement on the safety net and environmental investments and the
possibility of more favorable immigration policies that all play to Bay Area strengths.
The long-term Bay Area economic challenges remain with only slow progress on
housing, transportation and economic competitiveness, challenges at the front of the
Bay Area Council policy agenda.

Dear City Council,
My name is Julia Maecker and I am a student at Gunn High School on the Social Justice Pathway. My class
and I have been dismayed by the lack of information and awareness about the California Recall Election. Most of
the adults we know who consider themselves to be well informed do not even know about it. So, on behalf of my
class, I urge you to spread more information about and make sure that those who are eligible to vote do so. I know
my class and I would greatly appreciate it.
With warm regards from Gunn High School,

Subject:Deafening Silence from City Officials on the Lydia Kuo death threats and the Fuki Sushi "ranter"
Date:Monday, August 23, 2021 10:35:01 AM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links.
Dear City Leaders,
I've been a Palo Alto resident and homeowner since 1985 and I'm unhappy with theinconsistent treatment of criminals and victims by the Palo Alto Police, most
recently in the cases of Lydia Kuo and the owner of Fuki Sushi.
We've all read about the light treatment the 29-year-old Mr. Breya got forrepeatedly threatening to kill, rape and harm Council Member Lydia Kuo, herfamily and her children. Did you even listen to the disgusting tapes? Many of us
did. We're still waiting to hear from you, our leaders, about how such actions are
unacceptable in Palo Alto and what you're doing to stop similar crimes and stem theincrease in online harassment of women. Are you working with Facebook toprevent similar abuses?
You'll recall Mr. Breya gets a mere $795 fine and gets his record expunged if hecompletes his required AA counselling -- with NO provision to ensure he stopsdrinking! (Shades of the Brock Turner case where he got off lightly because he was
"only" drunk; stiffer penalties were never imposed when videos surfaced of Turner
drinking in violation of the terms of sentence.)
The silence from Palo Alto leaders is deafening. It's a felony to threaten an elected
official. It's also insulting nonsense for PAPD to dismiss these threats to public
officials -- who are also women -- as happening only during elections. The family
of the New Jersey judge that was murdered happened in June with NO election onthe horizon.
In the Fuki Sushi case, the PAPD declined to charge the "ranter" for his racist
threats because he was merely "exercising his First Amendment Rights." OUTRAGEOUS. Is Palo Alto trying to encourage more racist ranters and threats
against women and business owners?
Why weren't Mr. Breya and Fuki Sushi "ranter" sentenced to 8 weeks of AngerManagement classes like someone I know, a pedestrian who slapped the trunk of a
car that cut him off while he walked through Town & Country Shopping Center
during the usual chaos after a Stanford football game? The car was undamaged.
Yet weeks later, when there was no urgency or safety risk, PAPD sent 6 officers in
2 cars to his home with lights flashing, embarrassing him in front of the neighbors.Why? Because he hadn't yet acknowledged receipt of an unstamped envelope they'd
just deposited in his mailbox while he was out to dinner.
Where's the perspective and balance? Did the undamaged car or its owner sufferthe kind of life-long trauma as Ms. Kuo and the owner of Fuki Sushi and theirfamilies?
Are our leaders unaware of the increased crimes against Asians? How about crimesagainst women? Online death threats so often made by video gamers like youngMr. Breya against female gamers?
Remember the case in San Mateo County where a stalker repeatedly threatened afemale jailer to the point where she had to change jobs because he kept gettingarrested to be with her. The county DA defended his light sentence because he
ONLY threatened ONE woman albeit repeatedly; had he threatened others they
might have imposed a tougher sentence.
What ridiculous logic! It's past time to toughen these laws. And it's high time for
Palo Alto to stop letting these thugs off with a slap on the wrist!
Many women -- and men -- are outraged. We're still waiting to hear from you.

City Council,
While it is nice that we are able to utilize the street areas for dining, they need to be maintained. The
downtown streets in that area are no longer looking inviting, there is so much debris, food, ice
cream and drink spilled everywhere. Perhaps you could get those areas on some kind of a regular
maintenance routine. Maybe send the street sweepers through the area once a week like they used
to. This would make the area more inviting and emnjoyable.
Thank you,

Subject:Dr. Campbell- UK Wed. Aug. 18, 2021 US going ahead with booster. Not thrilled.
Date:Wednesday, August 18, 2021 9:38:47 PM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links.
Thurs. Aug. 18, 2021
To all- Dr. Campbell for today. Thorough discussion of the decision in the US togive a third Covid shot. He is not real happy about it. It shows that immunity is waning from
the first two shots. No decision yet in the UK on this. They are now giving booster shots inIsrael. Our giving the first two shots 4 weeks apart in the US led to this waning now. It was 3
weeks apart in Israel.
He admits that the longer immunity in the UK was serendipitous. They waited 12weeks between shots last winter to get as many people with one shot as they could fast. Now,
as a result, they have longer immunity in the UK.
BTW, the networks in the US are lying to the American people about this. Theysay that the immunity we have from the first 2 shots is waning BUT THEY NEVER SAYIT IS DOING SO NOW BECAUSE WE SPACED THEM 4 WEEKS APART. NOTONE WORD ABOUT THAT. THEY NEVER SAY THAT THE GAP WAS 12 WEEKSIN THE UK. DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT LOOK BAD, I GUESS. THEYREALLY ARE JOCKSTRAPS FOR BIDEN. WHY NOT TELL THE REST OF THESTORY?
A good discussion of the booster shot coming in the US at the eight month point afterthe second shot. Good data here on waning immunity and on breakthrough infections in the
fully vaccinated. If you have any sense, you'll take the booster as soon as it is offered. Hereports on a Mr. Abbott in Texas who has a breakthrough infection.
Vaccines, third doses required - YouTube
He ends on a chilling note. This virus is going to be with us for several years, at
least We will not eradicate it soon. The refusal of 100 million Americans to get vaccinated isa big contributor to that in the US. But what if they all did get the shots? We'd still face a
world of 7 billion people where it will take years to eradicate Covid, and until we do, it keepsmutating. We will probably need annual booster shots, each one engineered to provide
immunity to a new variant. Get your flu shot, get your Covid shot.

August 20, 2021
Hi Sajit, I read your excellent piece written on August 18, 2021 apologizing for being insensitive to sexual assault victims
(https://votesajid.medium.com/centering-survivors-e59e228c0c22, when you wrote an earlier piece on the sentencing of Brock Turner after
his conviction for serious sexual assault charges. https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/op-ed-in-defense-of-brock-turners-lenient-sentence .
After reading your recent piece several times over and then your 2016 piece I have the following comments and then a few questions: Comments: I found absolutely nothing in your 2016 piece in defense of Brock Turner’s sentence that was even slightly insensitive to sexual assaultvictims. In fact your 2016 piece pointed out that Mr. Turner’s sentence reflected the best of restorative justice while punishing Mr. Turnerappropriately, and while protecting both the victim and the safety of the general public by the harsh sentence imposed on Mr. Turner.
In fact your 2016 article pointed out that Mr. Turner was not only going to serve 6 months in county jail, but would suffer a lifetime sexualregistration requirement that you well know the failure to comply with could, at anytime, result in a jail or a harsh prison sentence.
In addition you pointed out that Mr. Turner was also placed on felony probation that upon violation could result in up to 14 years in prison,hardly a lenient sentence or in any possible way now be, five years later, construed as disrespectful of sexual assault victims.
In fact I challenge you to show me one word or one sentence in your 2016 article that was disrespectful or insensitive to sexual assaultvictims.
In my view it is disingenuous to suggest that the sentiments reflected in your 2016 letter were written because of your exuberance orzealous advocacy for defendants that grows exclusively out of being a public defender or defense attorney. That doesn’t work with me.
Your 2016 letter was extremely well balanced pointing out how judges like former judge Persky should retain judicial discretion to decide
each case on a case-by-case basis, with an eye towards a restorative justice model. If you’re being honest with yourself the piece you wrote could have been written either by a thoughtful public defender or a progressive
distinct attorney like the one you soon hope to be. Questions: 1. What you don’t say in your new piece, August 18, 2021, Is if you now believe that former judge Persky’s sentence was too light, and,as a result, sent a message of insensitive to all sexual assault victim? Or was his sentence entirely appropriate as reflective of a best
restorative justice model? Please respond. 2. In your 2016 letter you praised former Judge Persky for his general fairness toward defendants and the appropriateness of his
sentence in the Turner case. Are you now says his sentence was too lenient and he should have been recalled as the voters decided?Please let me hear your response. 3. * Disclosure: I wrote a check on August 3, 2021 in the amount of $250.00 in support of Sajit Khan’s campaign. BTW I’m stillwaiting for the check to clear my account. Sincerely, Aram James

Let’s rename Lytton Plaza for Jewlia Eisenberg a regionally well-known musician who I firstlearned of because she was a favorite at Stanford’s KZSU radio, in the 1990s.
If you check the record i previously suggested naming the plaza for Wallace Stegner. “ThoitsPlaza” was suggested by Chop Keenan but, to my understanding the Thoits family withdrew
their support because it became divisive. Mark Weiss

IMPORTANT-
This is very worth watching. Iain Duncan Smith in H. of Commons discussingwithdrawal from Afghan. They discuss Biden's saying the Afghan troops ran away or would
not fight. "You have no right", they tell him. "It is an infamous statement". "70,000 men inthe Afghan army have died fighting the Taliban". As I say below, the US TV news networks
say nothing about British involvement in Afghan. Watch this, and you will see the truth beinghidden from you by the US networks on that point: The Chinese and the Russians are in deep
already in Afghan. They are THERE. Their embassies are open in Kabul. Don't miss this: He says that when we removed our air power, the Afghan fighters were doomed. And hesays the US has not lost one life there for well over a year. We stay back and support- or atleast we did. Now we are gone and so are the 300,000 Afghan fighters we trained and
supported. 7 minutes:

Here, in 14:59, the Foreign Sect. of the UK tells the H. of Commons about what the UKgovernment is doing now in Afghan. American readers of this will be stunned to learn that the
UK has any involvement whatsoever in Afghan! They've had troops there??!! LH- This is alittle bit tedious. The better one is the 7 minutes talk by Duncan Smith, above.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab attacks Starmer over lack of 'firm action' on Afghanistan
- YouTube
Trying to get their nationals out, and those who helped the UK over these years inAfghan. Night after night, US network evening news on ABC and CBS utters not ONE
WORD about the Brits in Afghan. Last night one of them did say "A british soldier..." didthis or that. That is the one word the networks have said about the UK being in Afghan and
the effort they are making to get people out, etc.
The bastards who run ABC and CBS News in New York ought to hear about this littleoversight. I want the PM of the UK and members of Parliament to know that American news
orgs are reporting NOT ONE WORD ABOUT BRITISH INVOLVEMENT IN THEDISASTER IN AFGHAN AT THIS POINT. Not a word. No troops there, no nationals,
accepting no refuges from there, relocating to the UK no one who worked for the UK inAfgan. I guess the networks want to make it appear to be a US op from top to bottom to make
Biden look more powerful. Apparently planes hired by the British are making flights out of theairport at Kabul filled with British citizens and people who worked for the UK in Afghan.
That is being kept secret from the American people.
I don't get it. The US TV network news orgs are a far cry from what they once were. ABC and CBS each let a woman speak into the camera with her head tipped over about 35
degrees. On the weekends with ABC. CBS has her on periodically. They can't look us in theeye and report the news. It's their little protest when they are getting millions of dollars per
year for doing next to nothing. I'd fire their butts for it. Every year Stanford Universitygraduates white men who would gladly have those rich jobs and could level with the
American people- look them in the eye with their head held up straight and report the news.
See the interview with the retired Army four-star Gen. Keane, I sent it out yesterday.
Here it is again. It is a mess now in Kabul, for sure. BUT listen to him. Now Afghan is goingto metastasize into something very dangerous for us. So it is what it will now become-- that is
the huge issue. Do we keep losing people in a civil war in Afghan? Of course not. But whatdo we do as the country becomes something very dangerous to us and to other NATO
countries, wiith full involvement by Russia, China and Iran? Our pull-out from Afghan willcause Russia to lean more heavily on Ukraine and China to lean more heavily on Taiwan, the
General says. We'd better have teams of experts working on our responses to the new, moredangerous Afghan right now.
Here is the eleven minute interview again with retired Army four-star General Keane:

Afghanistan - YouTube
An Iranian ran a smog test facility in Fresno, and I used to get my cars smogged there.One time, an Iranian friend of his dropped by. He was calm and normal until I asked a
question about the Iranian government. That set him off. He got excited. I asked him why theentire Muslim world hate the US so much. Is it the treatment of the Palistinians? NO he told
me. He said it is because the US and Britain set up Israel. I think most Americans don't reallyknow at this point. The WH and the media will never tell us.

To all- Listen to Gen. Keane here for 11 minutes and you will have a broader
perspective on Afghanistan. What will the country be after we have left? He talks about AlQueda being in control of some parts of it right now, but being well hidden so we wouldn't
wack them. He talks about Iran, China, Syria and Russia taking a big interest in thecountry after we leave. The Taliban will need money, trade. They can supply it.
They can supply other things too. Things not designed to make life better for the
American people and for the Europeans. This is well worth 11 min. of your time.
So what DO we do? We spent 20 years fighting the Taliban and looking for OsamaBin Laden in Afghan. We found him, in Pakistan. Somehow we have to convince theTaliban and all of the rich supporter countries, who hate us, that they should leave usand our European allies alone. We do not just fly out and let them stew in their own juice.
What do we do? Smarter, better trained, more experienced people than me, in positions ofpower, can develop an answer, or answers, as the situation evolves, but we are for sure not
done interacting with Afghanistan, and their benefactor countries.

Dear Mayor Du Bois and City Councilmembers
We wanted to thank you again for your support last week in exploring a Homekey project on the
LATP and share our excitement at kicking off the process with staff this afternoon. Whoo-hoo!
Excitement aside, the next six weeks will be very intensive as we undertake due diligence on the site
to ensure its feasibility and develop the Program and budget. We are confident that of all the sites
we explored for Homekey, including hotels along ECR (deemed too expensive), Geng Road (too small
at 15,000 sf), privately held sites on Fabian Way, Transport Street and the San Antonio cloverleaf
(owners of which all refused to sell), and the adjacent Green Waste parcel (awkward layout), LATP
remains the best contender.
It should be noted that undertaking due diligence will likely cost in the realm of $100k, a risk that we
are willing to share, but it still has to be carried until the project is funded. Therefore, if you’ve been
thinking about any other sites or know of properties that we should be aware of please let me know
immediately because we will not have the ability to change site after we’ve submitted the
application in September.
We remain wholeheartedly committed in supporting the City of Palo Alto achieve a successful
Homekey project.
Sincerely,
Joanne

Dear Mayor DuBois, Vice Mayor Burt and Councilmembers Cormack, Filseth, Kou,Stone and Tanaka,
Attached please find a copy of a letter from the Enforcement Unit of the CaliforniaBoard for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists stating that theBoard has opened a formal investigation of William Hammett of Hammett & Edison. Mr. Hammett is being investigated in regards to the bald-face misrepresentationmade in the RF exposure compliance analysis his firm prepared in support ofVerizon’s application to install a cell tower at 850 Webster Street. Also attached is the complaint I filed that brought Mr. Hammett’s misconduct to theBoard’s attention and led to their decision to open an investigation. To remind you, Mr. Hammett and his firm have prepared the required-by-the-City RF(i.e., radio frequency radiation) exposure compliance analyses for dozens of celltowers in Palo Alto, including the three Verizon towers you approved on June 22,2021. The purpose of these analyses is to determine if the estimated RF emitted byproposed new towers, together with the RF emitted by any nearby existing celltowers, will comply with the RF safety standards established by the FCC. Mr. Hammett is being investigated because, in purportedly certifying the safety ofVerizon’s proposed new cell tower adjoining Channing House, his firm made aflagrant misrepresentation of conditions at the site. Specifically, their RF exposurecompliance analysis states: “There are reported no other wirelesstelecommunications base stations at the site or nearby.” In fact, however, there is amacro tower—in other words, a very large cell tower—at the very same address. Moreover, Mr. Hammett unequivocally knew that a macro tower existed at the sitewhere Hammett & Edison’s report said no cell towers existed. For one thing, he’s theperson who prepared the initial exposure compliance report when the macro towerwas being installed on the roof of Channing House. And for another, themanagement of Channing House had recently hired Mr. Hammett to prepare a newRF compliance report on the macro tower. (Documentation of these facts can befound in the attached exhibits, which accompanied the complaint.) So you know, sanctions available to the Board for Professional Engineers, LandSurveyors and Geologists are a) to suspend or revoke a person’s license, b) to issuean administrative citation or c) to refer the matter to the district attorney for criminalprosecution. Until the Board completes its investigation, I hope Palo Alto will place a moratorium
on accepting RF reports prepared by Hammett & Edison. In addition, given theseriousness of the misrepresentation made in his firm’s RF exposure complianceanalyses for the proposed cell tower at 850 Webster Street, I hope you will considerdirecting City Staff to hire an outside engineering consulting firm to conduct a freshreview of the reports submitted by Hammett & Edison in the past, in order to ensurethat Mr. Hammett’s and his employees’ representations of the RF at every cell towersite have been accurate and complete. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Jeanne Fleming Jeanne Fleming, PhDJFleming@Metricus.net650-325-5151

I am not a candidate for anything just a citizen advocate… but I will send all of you my piece on the Brock Turner sentencing, in a subsequent email, written back in July of 2016. Let the debate continue. We need to send questions (and demand public debates) to both candidates and see where they stand on the critical criminal justice issues today-- and then watch to see if the candidates change their views as we get closer to Election Day based on truly well thought out reasoning or simply political expediency.

Hi Sajit, (Sajit Khan candidate for Santa Clara County District Attorney 2022)
As promised I’m sending around the piece I wrote on the Brock Turner case back about the same time frame(June-July 2016) you wrote your article on the same topic. Unlike you I standby my piece and believe it wasappropriately respectful of both sexual assault victims, public safety, and restorative justice-drawing the correctbalance between public safety and the need for applying a restorative justice (or as you so eloquently put it, aholistic model) between sexual assault victims, first time offenders, be they poor, people of color or members ofthe dominant caste.
I look forward to you criticizing my piece and even attacking it-if you find I have fallen short in appropriatelybalancing the needs of sexual assault victims and first time offenders.
Similarly, if you believe my support for former Judge Persky was misguided, and he deserves what he received-to be recalled for the sentence he imposed in the Turner case; don’t hesitate to blast me with criticism.
To Jeff Rosen (the current Santa Clara County District Attorney) or anyone else receiving this email feel free toattack my views on this matter. It’s all about the learning process. What say you?
Best regards,
Community activist,

Date:Monday, August 23, 2021 10:19:28 AM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links.
Hello:I wanted to notify the commission and council of something I have encountered with my
residential solar system. My system was permitted and installed in 2009 by Solar City. Teslanow owns Solar City.
My inverter stopped working and I navigated my way through the automated support system
at Tesla. My inverter failed on July 28 and I finally had a response from a person on August6. The disconcerting issue was that I was told there is only one service person for this area.
The earliest appointment I could have for a service person just to come to my home wasSeptember 29th.
I have escalated this issue through Tesla. I spoke with one of their management team
members, but they only provide platitudes. I reminded the Tesla representative that in PaloAlto, my solar production does flow to the city. Further, given the approach of warmer
weather and all the global issues with clean energy, I felt Tesla should provide more support tokeep available resources operating. They disagreed.
This is just a notification. I don't expect any action from the city. I would like to comment
that more resources for residential solar owners either on the web site or in the periodicmailings would be appreciated. Specifically, it would be nice to know if there are
support/repair alternatives, who the city approved as solar vendors through the permit process,and which solar providers offer education or awareness resources.
Thank you for your time and also thank you for your willingness to provide leadership and
guidance for Palo Alto.

Please forgive me for repeatedly misspelling Lydia's last name which obviously
should be Kou, not Kuo!
On Mon, Aug 23, 2021 at 10:33 AM Jo Ann Mandinach <joann@needtoknow.com> wrote:Dear City Leaders,
I've been a Palo Alto resident and homeowner since 1985 and I'm unhappy with
the inconsistent treatment of criminals and victims by the Palo Alto Police, most
recently in the cases of Lydia Kuo and the owner of Fuki Sushi.
We've all read about the light treatment the 29-year-old Mr. Breya got for
repeatedly threatening to kill, rape and harm Council Member Lydia Kuo, her
family and her children. Did you even listen to the disgusting tapes? Many of usdid. We're still waiting to hear from you, our leaders, about how such actions areunacceptable in Palo Alto and what you're doing to stop similar crimes and stem
the increase in online harassment of women. Are you working with Facebook to
prevent similar abuses?
You'll recall Mr. Breya gets a mere $795 fine and gets his record expunged if he
completes his required AA counselling -- with NO provision to ensure he stops
drinking! (Shades of the Brock Turner case where he got off lightly because hewas "only" drunk; stiffer penalties were never imposed when videos surfaced ofTurner drinking in violation of the terms of sentence.)
The silence from Palo Alto leaders is deafening. It's a felony to threaten an
elected official. It's also insulting nonsense for PAPD to dismiss these threats topublic officials -- who are also women -- as happening only during elections. The
family of the New Jersey judge that was murdered happened in June with NO
election on the horizon.
In the Fuki Sushi case, the PAPD declined to charge the "ranter" for his racist
threats because he was merely "exercising his First Amendment Rights."
OUTRAGEOUS. Is Palo Alto trying to encourage more racist ranters and threats
against women and business owners?
Why weren't Mr. Breya and Fuki Sushi "ranter" sentenced to 8 weeks of Anger
Management classes like someone I know, a pedestrian who slapped the trunk of a
car that cut him off while he walked through Town & Country Shopping Centerduring the usual chaos after a Stanford football game? The car was undamaged.
Yet weeks later, when there was no urgency or safety risk, PAPD sent 6 officers
in 2 cars to his home with lights flashing, embarrassing him in front of theneighbors. Why? Because he hadn't yet acknowledged receipt of an unstampedenvelope they'd just deposited in his mailbox while he was out to dinner.
Where's the perspective and balance? Did the undamaged car or its owner sufferthe kind of life-long trauma as Ms. Kuo and the owner of Fuki Sushi and theirfamilies?
Are our leaders unaware of the increased crimes against Asians? How aboutcrimes against women? Online death threats so often made by video gamers likeyoung Mr. Breya against female gamers?
Remember the case in San Mateo County where a stalker repeatedly threatened afemale jailer to the point where she had to change jobs because he kept gettingarrested to be with her. The county DA defended his light sentence because he
ONLY threatened ONE woman albeit repeatedly; had he threatened others they
might have imposed a tougher sentence.
What ridiculous logic! It's past time to toughen these laws. And it's high time for
Palo Alto to stop letting these thugs off with a slap on the wrist!
Many women -- and men -- are outraged. We're still waiting to hear from you.

Dear Council members,
It is a sad day in Palo Alto to see what is happening to our neighborhood. As a resident of oldPalo Alto since 1975 I am shocked by what the architecture review board allows. We
remodeled our house in 1986 to very strict guidelines but somehow those guidelines havechanged.
Yesterday I walked by 2170 Waverley Street not far from California Ave. According to
Zillow the former house on this property sold for 9 million dollars. The house has beendemolished and the fence is up. However, what really shocked me and why I am writing to
you is the wasteful way they are removing the water. There is a sign posted on the fence that Ihave attached. There is a small pod that is supposed to reclaim the water but that is not what
is happening. There is an enormous hose coming out of the ground and going down the streetto the sewer and I can hear the water rushing out. My noticing it was at 3 pm on a Saturday
with no workers present so that means it has been draining at least since Friday and probablylonger.
Please feel free to forward this message to the permit department. Considering our area is
now on major water conservation there should be a different set of rules and basement permitsshould be halted or find a better way to conserve water rather than wasting it.

August 20, 2021 Hi Sajit, I read your excellent piece written on August 18, 2021 apologizing for being insensitive to sexual assault victims (https://votesajid.medium.com/centering-survivors-e59e228c0c22, when you wrote an earlier piece on the sentencing of Brock Turner after his conviction for serious sexual assault charges.https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/op-ed-in-defense-of-brock-turners-lenient-sentence . After reading your recent piece several times over and then your 2016 piece I have the following comments and then a few questions: Comments: I found absolutely nothing in your 2016 piece in defense of Brock Turner’s sentence that was even slightly insensitive to sexual assault victims. In fact your 2016 piece pointed out that Mr. Turner’s sentence reflected the best of restorative justice while punishing Mr. Turner appropriately, and while protecting boththe victim and the safety of the general public by the harsh sentence imposed on Mr. Turner.
In fact your 2016 article pointed out that Mr. Turner was not only going to serve 6 months in county jail, but would suffer a lifetime sexual registration requirement that
you well know the failure to comply with could, at anytime, result in a jail or a harsh prison sentence. In addition you pointed out that Mr. Turner was also placed on felony probation that upon violation could result in up to 14 years in prison, hardly a lenient sentence or inany possible way now be, five years later, construed as disrespectful of sexual assault victims. In fact I challenge you to show me one word or one sentence in your 2016 article that was disrespectful or insensitive to sexual assault victims. In my view it is disingenuous to suggest that the sentiments reflected in your 2016 letter were written because of your exuberance or zealous advocacy for defendants thatgrows exclusively out of being a public defender or defense attorney. That doesn’t work with me. Your 2016 letter was extremely well balanced pointing out how judges like former judge Persky should retain judicial discretion to decide each case on a case-by-casebasis, with an eye towards a restorative justice model. If you’re being honest with yourself the piece you wrote could have been written either by a thoughtful public defender or a progressive distinct attorney like the one yousoon hope to be. Questions:
1. What you don’t say in your new piece, August 18, 2021, Is if you now believe that former judge Persky’s sentence was too light, and, as a result, sent a message ofinsensitivity to all sexual assault victim? Or was his sentence entirely appropriate as reflective of a best restorative justice model? Please respond. 2. In your 2016 letter you praised former Judge Persky for his general fairness toward defendants and the appropriateness of his sentence in the Turner case.

Hi Sajit, (Sajit Khan candidate for Santa Clara County District Attorney
2022)
As promised I’m sending around the piece I wrote on the Brock Turner
case back about the same time frame (June-July 2016) you wrote your
article on the same topic. Unlike you I standby my piece and believe it was
appropriately respectful of both sexual assault victims, public safety, andrestorative justice-drawing the correct balance between public safety and
the need for applying a restorative justice (or as you so eloquently put it, a
holistic model) between sexual assault victims, first time offenders, be
they poor, people of color or members of the dominant caste.
I look forward to you criticizing my piece and even attacking it-if you find I
have fallen short in appropriately balancing the needs of sexual assault
victims and first time offenders.
Similarly, if you believe my support for former Judge Persky was
misguided, and he deserves what he received-to be recalled for the
sentence he imposed in the Turner case; don’t hesitate to blast me withcriticism.
To Jeff Rosen (the current Santa Clara County District Attorney) or
anyone else receiving this email feel free to attack my views on thismatter. It’s all about the learning process. What say you?
Best regards,
Community activist,
Aram

This is good. Worth seeing. About 6 minutes. H. of Commons grills Boris Johnson
over the disaster in Afghanistan. They condemn Biden for bungling the withdrawal and saythat the UK just followed whatever decision the US made.
Afghanistan crisis: UK lawmakers grill PM Johnson, condemn Biden over US withdrawal
- YouTube
Notice that it is kept VERY quiet on the US network TV news that the Brits even hadany troops in Afgan. !! Johnson mentions 135,000 troops in Afghan and 90,000 of them
Americans. Yes, that's right. We ALWAYS bear the brunt in money and blood. Only right.But they excoriate the PM pretty well here: "What happened with our intelligence?". Identical
question being asked in the US.
What if our intelligence had shown that, in December, 1941, the Japanese had no shipslarger than a PT boat. Read "At Dawn We Slept". Only 800 pp. I've seen it in the Stanford
libraries, I think. A classic on the subject. The author was so thorough in his research that hedied in the middle of writing the book. I read it while I lived in Guadalajara. Total surprise at
Pearl Harbor. The Japanese needed some luck to pull that off.
Some of his colleagues at the University of Maryland completed the writing of thebook.
We knew that Japan had a big navy, but we lost track of it in early December, 1941. We
thought it had gone south.

Dear Mayor and Council Members: On behalf of City Manager Ed Shikada, please find below the staff responses an inquiry madeby Councilmember Tanaka in regard to the Monday, August 23 Council Meeting consentagenda. Staff responses are below.
Item 4: Palo Alto Players Office Space Lease Amendment at Lucie Stern
1. On average per performance, how much revenue is collected by the city through
the $4 “facility usage fees” attached to each ticket?
The city collects an average of $940 in revenue per performance during a normal
production year. Palo Alto Players has about 55 performances per year. The three
theater groups produce a combined 175 performances each year (average in a normal
year).
2. Are there any other parties that have expressed interest in using the same
community center space?
No other outside parties have expressed interest in using the same community center
space. If Palo Alto Players were to vacate the space, it would be used by the Children’s
Theatre to offer more classes and lessons to the community.
3. Would denying this amendment terminate the Palo Alto Player’s presence at the
community center or would they continue to pay on a month-to-month rate
($1,501.50)?
If the City Council were to deny the amendment but keep Palo Alto Players at the
community center under the Holding Over provision of the current agreement, the
Palo Alto Players’ monthly rental obligation would continue at $1,501.50 until they
vacate, the City notifies them to vacate, or an amendment changes the rent. Staff is
not aware of what Palo Alto Players would choose to do in the absence of a longer-
term lease.
4. Does the approval or denial of this lease agreement affect their ability to stage
performances in the city?
It is unlikely that approval or denial of the agreement would affect their ability to stage
performances in the city. However, absent an articulated reason, denial would likely
be received as destabilizing to this longstanding partnership.
Thank you.

It seems that the citizen Committee that met to figure out Caltrain rail crossings not only
showed the usual favoritism to north Palo Alto, but also lacked imagination to come up withthe present configurations for the Charleston and East Meadow crossings. If it's too expensive
to tunnel (really the best option) then why not put Caltrain and High Speed rail in a tube, likethe BART tube that carries trains from SFO to East Bay under the bay, so easy! It will take
engineering to figure out what materials to use for the tube as, apparently high speed rail(when it comes) emits a high shrill sound as it speeds through the city: has no one even
thought about the effect of such a disturbance? Caltrain blasts its horn to a deafening degreealready. Think outside the box. Scrap the report and start again.

Dear City Council members,
First of all, thank you for your decision earlier this month to move forward with the South
Palo Alto Bikeways project. This will bring some much needed safety improvements to SouthPalo Alto.
This week there is another important infrastructure project on the agenda, grade separation. If
you decide to move forward with the underpass design we urge you to also approve the"Design Refinement of Underpass Alternatives" for pedestrians and bicyclists. The staff report
mentions 90 degree angled turns, but some of these are actually 180 degrees, and nearlyimpossible to navigate for less agile riders. This includes young riders, senior riders, and
families like ourselves (with a toddler in a cargo bike).
Thank you for your consideration.
Kind regards,

Dear councilpersons, I applaud your courage in recommending next steps for
resolving rail versus road separation.
Australia has emphasized the correct approach in over 60% of 70+ separations in the
Melbourne metroplex: Train tracks go over roadways, roadways remain flat.
My rankings for Meadow and Charleston:
1. Viaduct: fast and least impact on adjacent circulation of motorized and non-
motorized. Road is flat for safety and visibility.2. Trench
3. Hybrid
4. Undercrossing (The worst for circulation and compromised visibility)

Dear City Council members. This has been a long road. My neighbors and I
have written many letters and attended many zoom meetings regarding this
issue because we genuinely feel that the raised option proposals would be
reviled by our neighborhood and would cause great damage for generations
to come. We hope that our concerns have been properly heard and that you
will remove the raised options from considerations for these crossings.
I have lived at 371 Whitclem Drive, in the Charleston Meadows
neighborhood for 35 years. I am speaking to urge you to eliminate the
raised options from your consideration and to approve the trench option.
Our neighborhood has been engaged in this process from the beginning. The
overwhelming majority of residents oppose a raised option. We submitted
a Petition early in this process, in May 2018, with 600 signatures in support
of the trench and tunnel options and in opposition to the raised rail options.
That opposition has not waned. Neighbors have submitted letters and
spoken at every stage in the process to the point of exhaustion.
I participated in the XCAP Zoom meetings. It was my impression that the
XCAP members favored the trench design but were concerned about the
cost estimate prepared by the consultant. Significant questions have been
raised about the accuracy of the cost estimate of the trench option vis-a-vis
the raised options. Similar trench projects have been built in other locations
at much, much lower costs. Many residents feel that the consultants went
into this project intent on pushing an elevated option and that the stark cost
differential between the raised options and the trench reflects that bias. An
independent cost review is needed to have any confidence in the analysis.
One point I want to stress is that there has not been an adequate noise
analysis. The consultants only addressed noise level for the 2 rows of houses
closest to the track, which represents a very small fracture of the affected
homes. Their report assumed that 2nd story homes would buffer noise
beyond the second row of houses. Clearly, the consultants' analysis is
misinformed. Had they visited the neighborhood, or done any research at
all, they would have learned that there is a one-story overlay over much of
the neighborhood (as there is in Greenmeadow on the other side of the
tracks). There are very few two-story homes and none located where they
will buffer noise for the affected area. Thus, the noise analysis is sloppy,
inaccurate and invalid. I live in one of the few two story homes. I can attest
that the train noise is much louder on our second story where there is
nothing to buffer it than it is downstairs. An elevated train would affect all
the homes in the neighborhood in this fashion--there would be nothing to
buffer the noise for many, many blocks in both directions.
I urge you to remove the raised options from consideration. They are
strongly disfavored by the public.
Large concrete viaducts and overpasses are ugly and not compatible with a
residential neighborhood in a green community. Palo Alto would be
embarrassed and ashamed by such a structure and future generations will
wonder how in the world a City full of smart engineers let this happen.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Deborah Ju

Dear City Council,I am writing to add my voice to those strenuously objecting to raised rail options. After living with train noise early mornings, daytimes, and late nights for more than a decade, I am
painfully aware of the increased noise and disruption that trains on a viaduct would impose on myneighborhood. Please, please choose an option that puts the tracks below ground. Why would anyonewant to see and hear even more of the trains than we currently do? And why is cost the only factorthat seems to drive the consultant’s recommendations?
We will have to live with your decision for a very long time. In this innovative, lovely city, surelywe have the resources and ingenuity to find a solution that does not polarize neighborhoods anddrastically lower our quality of life.

Dear City Council
As you consider the options for grade separations for southern Palo Alto
(Meadow and Charleston), I ask you to remove the two raised options from considerations. Here are my reasons:
1. Raised options (the viaduct and the hybrid) will have the trains operating
ABOVE the roofs of the homes in our large single-story overlay neighborhoods of Greenmeadows and Charleston-Meadows. The train will operate above
all single-story houses which make up MOST of the houses in southern Palo Alto,even those that do not have single-story zoning
By themselves the newly-installed electrification poles are creating
an ugly wall. These poles will be placed ON TOP of the viaduct or hybrid berm.These raised solutions would create a huge visual barrier stretching
through the middle of our entire city.
2. Raised structures push their noise much wider / farther than below-grade or at-grade optionsso the train noise will affect many more people than the current train does. Building a raised
train guarantees that noise across muchof Palo Alto for the next 100 years. NOTE: the noise expert's report is seriously flawed. Many
people have written about this issue.
3. Over time, as Palo Alto builds more housing, the train noise will operate in a direct line tothe windows of apartments on stories 2-4. This will affect more and more of our residents as
time goes by..
4. Viaducts all over the world, over time, become dirty and ugly and poorly-maintained. It willbe no different in Palo Alto. Why build something that you know will become ugly and dirty
with litter and garbage collecting on the wasted land under the structure.
5. Cities around the world who have built raised solutions come to hate themwell before the structures reach their end of life. Many cities have even torn them down.
Please remove the viaduct and the hybrid options from consideration.

Subject: Parking on Sidewalks
CITY OF PAL.O ALTO. CA
CITY CLEi~K'S OFFICE
21 AUG 23 AM IQ: 25
I have not been a part of the active conversation between members of the Nextdoor Duveneck-
St. Francis but today I read a rather long comment from a seventy four year old that likes to
walk the neighborhood in Palo Alto with a friend. He is responding to an apparent incident that
happened in South Palo Alto regarding a car that was vandalized because it was parked on the
sidewalk and had added a comment regarding neighbors that let their plants grow out on the
sidewalk. I had to laugh because I could have written a similar letter and I am ninety three, my
husband is ninety six and we are doing our best to stay healthy and live in our own home. I use
a cane on our property but when I walk by myself I use a walker. My husband uses a walker but
has to be in a wheel chair for longer walks. We have a caregiver three days a week that takes
him and I am able to go on my own with a walker. The other days I push him in his wheel chair
on a much shorter walk than she does. We would like to continue to do this as long as my
health holds out. The pandemic took his swimming away from him and my workouts at the Y
away from me so walking is important to us.
Construction trucks are all over Palo Alto and the other day I encountered five, all in a row on
Walter Hays and luckily was able to call it to their attention that they were all parked illegally.
They apologized and moved their trucks. Just today, Comcast was half way up on the sidewalk
and I was lucky, the driver was in the truck and moved it out of my way. Every day I go through
this and find even the residents are illegally parked. On down the street a car was parked up to
the middle line on the sidewalk. Going around and in to the street is not an option. My tricky
knee acts up on occasion and I lose my balance. I cannot back down the curbing with the
wheel chair as that could be a disaster if I lost my balance. Our caregiver loves to walk but is
amazed the way people park and often has to go out in the street. Wheel chairs are pretty
wide. So I have attached a copy of the parking directions that were sent out years ago by I
believe the Utility Department. I have added an extra note on it so people understand why I am
leaving a copy under their windshield wiper. It helped my husband and I years ago when we
had about five neighbors on canes, or using walkers or wheel chairs. We made copies of it and
wrote a nice letter along with it and hand delivered it to every house on Lois Lane. Within
twenty four hours there wasn't a single car on the sidewalk. Now we have all new neighbors.
The plants that the woman complains about is absolutely true. My husband has to hold his
hand out to keep the agapanthus out of his face. We just have to roll through the ones on the
walk.
The City is not helping matters. They are approving these ridiculous one car garages attached
to the huge houses on these small lots. Residents have multiple cars.
Our sidewalks are badly in need of repair. I asked the City about one area, they filled in the
cracks but due to a tree trunk, the sidewalk is on such an angle I have to walk that block in the
street when I have my husband in the wheel chair. When I am on my walker I have to be very
careful. Our caregiver is only thirty one and strong but completely understands the problems I
have.
The last thing I want to do is call the police and get anyone in trouble. Tickets make people
very unhappy and I wouldn't want to be confronted by any one. And yes, there are some who
do not take kindly to suggestions or complaints. I would never be hostile to anyone I talked to
so I am asking for help from you and the City.
I realize that these are not all your problems and am sending copies to City Council and the
Palo Alto Utilities since that is where I think we got the information on parking.
Some days are worse than others so you can't just drive around and assume that there isn't
that much of a problem, it is, for walkers, mothers with strollers, children on trikes and all
handicap residents.
