Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:28:31 GMT

The median price for a detached home in Marin County wobbled to $1.7 million last month, about the same level it was six months ago and about 20% lower than the prior year.The figure is based on the latest data released by the county’s assessor’s office, which logged 157 sales of detached homes last month. By comparison, 254 detached homes sold the previous April.The median price in April 2022 was $2.12 million, a peak for the county before the monthly figure fell as low as $1.5 million.“We’re still seeing a lack of inventory,” said Arun Burrell, a 20-year agent whose office is in San Rafael. “That’s been our consistent issue this year.”Burrell represented the sellers in a deal last month right at the $1.7 million median, for a three-bedroom home on Oak Avenue in the seminary neighborhood of San Anselmo. The property was listed at $1.65 million.Burrell said 28 agents quickly asked for disclosure packets and three made offers. The winning bid was by a family moving from San Francisco...

An African American deputy sheriff has sued Marin County alleging that he has been harassed, denied promotions and subjected to other unfair treatment because of his race during his 11 years on the force.David Lundie says senior leadership held him to different standards of conduct than White deputies; gave him biased performance reviews; micromanaged him; and subjected him to racist tokenization and microaggressions, among other allegations.Lundie is seeking an unspecified amount of money for compensatory damages, punitive damages and lost wages. The suit was filed Wednesday in Marin County Superior Court.“This lawsuit should serve as a wake-up call,” Lundie’s lawyer, Jennifer Reisch, said in a written statement. “Racial discrimination is rampant throughout Marin institutions and culture, and the Sheriff’s Office is no exception. Make no mistake about it: this is not an isolated incident, and the Marin County Sheriff’s Office needs to urgently revamp its practices and procedures to...

Scientist sues UC Santa Cruz over diversity statement requirement

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:28:31 GMT

SANTA CRUZ — Former professor at the University of Toronto J.D. Haltigan filed a lawsuit Wednesday against UC Santa Cruz officials over the school’s requirement for jobseekers to include a diversity, equity and inclusion statement, commonly called a DEI statement, in their employment application, claiming it violates the First Amendment.Haltigan, who earned his doctorate in developmental psychology at the University of Miami, is currently an independent scientist and Pennsylvania resident and is being represented by Sacramento-based attorney Wilson Freeman with the Pacific Legal Foundation.“We’ve been keyed into the issue of DEI statements for a couple of years,” said Freeman. “We think it’s an important issue propagating, what we see as, a sort of orthodoxy throughout the academy. We think it’s a threat to the First Amendment and academic freedom. We think it’s especially bad at the University of California.”Diversity, equity and inclusion statements have been included in the emplo...

Pipeline Company Spent Big on Police Gear to Use Against Standing Rock Protesters

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:28:31 GMT

Their protest encampment razed, the Indigenous-led environmental movement at North Dakota’s Standing Rock reservation was searching for a new tactic. By March 2017, the fight over the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline had been underway for months. Leaders of the movement to defend Indigenous rights on the land — and its waterways — had a new aim: to march on Washington.Native leaders and activists, calling themselves water protectors, wanted to show the newly elected President Donald Trump that they would continue to fight for their treaty rights to lands including the pipeline route. The march would be called “Native Nations Rise.”Law enforcement was getting ready too — and discussing plans with Energy Transfer, the parent company of the Dakota Access pipeline. Throughout much of the uprising against the pipeline, the National Sheriffs’ Association talked routinely with TigerSwan, Energy Transfer’s lead security firm on the project, working hand in hand to craft pro-pipeli...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe’s largest atomic power station, spent hours operating on emergency diesel generators Monday after losing its external power supply for the seventh time since Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said.“The nuclear safety situation at the plant (is) extremely vulnerable,” Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in a tweet.Hours later, national energy company Ukrenergo said on Telegram that it had restored the power line that feeds the plant.But for Grossi, it was another reminder of what’s at stake at the Russian-occupied plant which has seen shelling close by.“We must agree to protect (the) plant now; this situation cannot continue,” Grossi said, in his latest appeal for the area to be spared from the fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces. IAEA staff are deployed at the plant, which is occupied by Russian troops.The plant’s s...
