City workers like Jeff want to see San José’s workforce thrive. When employees leave for other agencies, the city loses valuable skills and experience. A fair contract is key to retaining skilled workers and maintaining services San José residents rely on.

NOW: Oakland city workers at Strike School have PACKED THE ROOM for the public services our communities deserve. Years of understaffing have left city workers stretched thin and residents paying the price. We’re advocating for a fair contract that makes real investments in staffing! ✊

“internal data showed that building + fire permits were, in fact, taking longer to issue than before the OpenGov system launched. Previously, around 70% of fire permits were issued in two days, compared with just 3% in May under OpenGov. For building permits, the share fell from roughly 60% to 36%.”

sfstandard.com

Lurie’s OpenGov permit software was ‘exceeding’ its goals. City data said otherwise

San Francisco’s permit chief said the new OpenGov system was “exceeding” its targets. So why did the city’s own data show building and fire permits taking longer than before?

Anthropic Is building a surveillance system to monitor activists using a “pre-crime” approach that tries to predict incidents before they happen. The extensive monitoring system that the AI company is building is aimed primarily at keeping tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of AI.

Say NO to a 5-year giveaway! Permits that were previously issued over the counter the same day can take 7–10 days through OpenGov. In effect, City taxpayers are funding OpenGov’s ongoing product development while service delivery has declined.
