In the September 1998 issue, faculty members talk about what shared governance means and how to improve it on individual campuses. The issue also features Gray Davis' plans forthe community colleges if he is elected governor and presents endorsements to support education-friendly candidates for the November 3 election. The December 1998 issue explains how to calculate new retirement benefits in the State Teachers' Retirement System, how the changes affect all faculties, andwho faculty should thank for the improvements. Faculty member Carolyn Russell gives a first-person account about the grassroots efforts that successfully convinced state legislators to pass the retirement package. The February 1999 issue features Assemblywomen Gloria Romero and Charlene Zettel and their commitment to helping community colleges receive the funding they need to do their jobs well. It also provides a list of legislators and their primary community college districts. The May 1999 issue features former CCC students who are now legislators and their views on California community colleges: Assemblywoman Sarah Reyes, Assemblyman Lou Correa and Senator JamesBrulte. The issue also provides highlights of the 1999 FACCC conference,which focused on the discussion of partnerships.

  • What's on Tap? San Francisco (Pdf)
    SAN FRANCISCO1 San Francisco earned a water quality and compliance grade of Poor for 2000 and 2001. Factors in this grade included the following: WHAT'S Although San Francisco’s source water is generally very well protected, the city had ON TAP? high levels of cancer-causing contaminants called total trihalomethanes, or TTHMs, by-products of the heavy use of chlorine for disinfection of its tap water. San Francisco Grading Drinking is one of the few large cities in the United States with TTHM levels still in excess of a Water in U.S. Cities new EPA tap water standard that went into effect in January 2002. San Francisco also EARLY RELEASE has potentially dangerous high spikes in the levels of these chemicals in its tap water. CALIFORNIA EDITION The city applied for and received a two-year extension from the EPA for bringing the system into compliance with this standard. The San Francisco Public Utilities October 2002 Commission (SFPUC) should not have allowed this problem to continue into 2002. The city says it is taking steps to reduce its TTHM levels by 2003, but its “solution,” a switch to chloramine disinfection, is a half-measure that will only moderately reduce TTHM levels and will not kill chlorine-resistant microbes. The EPA announced the reduced standard more than eight years ago, in July 1994, after extensive regulatory negotiations resulted in an agreement with the water industry—a process of which San Francisco was well aware.3 The final rule was issued in 1998.4 Under NRDC’s grading system, any water system that exceeds the new EPA standard for chemicals that cause cancer and potentially cause miscarriage and birth defects can receive a water quality grade no higher than Poor.
