		<description><![CDATA[Last night I did a live blog of the council meeting. Since it&#8217;s now a day old, I&#8217;ve reversed the order so it reads chronologically. Highlights were a union contract squabble, a dig at Union City and &#8220;cutting edge&#8221; traffic analysis. 7 p.m. &#8212; The chamber is full and very purple. SEIU union members are [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s scheduled for noon, Aug. 16 down Liberty Avenue. I&#8217;ll be away, so I won&#8217;t get to enjoy it like I did Fremont [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took a look at some of Fremont&#8217;s employee contracts going back through the years. One thing to note: Fremont uses several cities as a benchmark to determine if police and firefighters are being adequately compensated. Fremont looks to pay an average of the top five cities in the group. All of the benchmark cities are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fremont&#8217;s union contracts expire at the end of the month. Negotiations are underway.  Two years ago, police and fire got 6 percent annual raises for two years and most other employees got 4 percent for two years. This is far from perfect since I have salary data for calendar years and budget data for fiscal years, [...]]]></description>

Two years ago in Newark, Dutra, and his building industry buddies, backed Al Huezo; while Torrico, and his union buddies, backed Sharlene Saria-Mansfield. Huezo won. Same thing last year in [...]]]></description>

Not true, said an aide when I called up Haggerty&#8217;s office. &#8220;So, is he going to switch parties?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;He&#8217;s thinking about it,&#8221; the aide said.

Among the candidates to replace Art Lampert, are Steve Cho, Fremont&#8217;s most successful Republican, and Paul Sethy, an active Democratic party member. Here&#8217;s how the vote went [...]]]></description>
