Bramson: A measure for community health - San Jose Spotlight

When people talk about ending homelessness, the conversation almost always starts with housing. And for good reason-without a safe, stable home, it's nearly impossible for anyone to rebuild their life. But there's another piece of this crisis we don't talk about enough: health. You can't recover from homelessness if you can't access health care. You can't stay housed if an unexpected medical bill wipes out your savings. And right now, that fragile balance - between health and housing - is under serious threat.

Measure A earns support of San Jose mayor, police and DA - San Jose Spotlight

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, joined by county law enforcement and prosecutors, is backing a last-minute sales tax to protect Santa Clara County's public hospitals from massive federal cuts. It comes after Mahan - along with the county's Deputy Sheriffs Association and Government Attorneys Association - initially cast doubt and uncertainty about his stance on Measure A, the county's proposed five-eighths cent sales tax increase on the Nov. 4 ballot. Now they're set to announce their support at a news conference later today. Meanwhile, the sheriff and prosecutor unions say they've fundraised a total of $600,000 to date to campaign in favor of the ballot measure.
