Good morning, Stockton.
Leadership changes can ripple far beyond a boardroom. For many residents, decisions made at public agencies shape the rhythm of daily life.
The San Joaquin Regional Transit District board voted to fire CEO Alex Clifford during a special meeting this week. As Vince Medina reports, the board also named the agency’s human resources director as acting leader. For riders who rely on RTD to get to work, school and appointments, changes at the top can raise questions about stability and service moving forward.
We’re also covering a proposal from Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom that would require repeat DUI offenders to carry restricted licenses marked to limit alcohol purchases. And if you’re looking ahead to the weekend, our Things to do guide rounds up Galentine’s bingo, wine and chocolate events and other local gatherings from Feb. 13 to 15.
Thank you for starting your morning with us. We’ll continue following the decisions and developments that affect life across Stockton.
