Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Since then, the cost of just about everything—from groceries to gas to housing—has skyrocketed. Members of Congress' Joint Economic Committee created an inflation tracker that shows the impact on average households in every state. While a Democrat chairs the joint committee, the committee's Republican members put out the report and data.The report uses January 2021 as a benchmark "because it was the last time inflation was within recent historical norms."

After “pirate” crime wave, boaters fear sweep of Oakland estuary will leave them with nowhere to go

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:42 GMT

In recent weeks, abandoned vessels in the Oakland estuary — a calm, narrow waterway separating Oakland and Alameda — have been tagged by Oakland’s Marine Patrol unit and given a 30-day removal notice as part of a long-delayed, full-scale clean-up.The state of the estuary, primarily a place for recreational water sports, came under scrutiny after dozens of small boats and dinghies were taken from yacht clubs in Alameda, often stripped for their parts and sunk, during a three-week span in August.

That process, after months of preparations, how begun. According to Marine Patrol Officer Kaleo Albino, the Oakland Police department started contacting the dozen or so people living on boats in Novemb...
