Senate pension bill clears Senate with wage hopes for millions
The Senate approved a 93 to 0 vote on a pension bill aimed at ensuring 38 million workers receive some retirement income. The measure would tax shield for the self employed and workers without employer plans while setting partial vesting after five years and gradual increases to full pension after 15 years. It also caps executive-deduction pensions and expands tax-advantaged retirement saving options, though it would reduce government revenue.

Annex hearing set as Washington Manor seeks San Leandro join
San Leandro eyes annexation of Washington Manor with over 1900 signatures collected, sending a formal notice to board and triggering a public hearing within 30 days. The move would include Marina High, Washington Manor Junior High, Argonne, Corvallis, Dayton and Lewelling schools and would consolidate about 4000 students, altering district enrollments from 8000 plus in San Leandro and 12000 plus in San Lorenzo. The state board requires districts to exceed 10000 students to avoid questions, and a successful annexation could place the entire city in one district.
