"SHERIFF OUSTED: The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors removed Sheriff Christina Corpus from office in October 2025 due to allegations and findings that she misused public funds, retaliated against subordinates and violated conflict-of-interest laws, particularly concerning her chief of staff, Victor Aenlle. Following her removal, former Santa Clara County Sheriff Ken Binder was appointed as the new sheriff. He's the brother of Palo Alto police chief Andrew Binder."
"RVs EVERYWHERE: Caltrans' addition of bike lanes on El Camino Real in Palo Alto eliminated parking on both sides of the street, sending RV campers into adjacent neighborhoods. Residents complained the RVs were dumping raw human waste into the gutters. While city ordinances ban RVs from parking 72 hours in the same spot, police have been reluctant to enforce the law. Many residents are supportive of the RV dwellers and want the city to put them into a homeless shelter."
"SCHOOL BOARD SPLIT: Wokeness split the Palo Alto school board. The controversy began when newly elected school board member Rowena Chiu said at a board meeting that she felt she was being bullied by woke school board members regarding approval of an ethnic studies class. A district administrator, Danae Reynolds, appeared to one-up Chiu, saying she fears for the safety of her husband at the hands of police when he drives in Palo Alto at night."
