"Gov. Newsom probably has had more experience with the problem of homelessness than any other politician in America, and is to be commended for a wise and necessary program. CARE Court deserves to be rolled out and tried."--SB, Johnny Khamis opportunitynowsv.org/blog/commentar…

Great to meet with the @SalvationArmy in the bay area, a customer of Cohesity and discuss how we can help the local San Jose and South Bay communities - addressing homelessness, food, shelter and more. Grateful for all they do. #CohesityForGood Cc Heidi Brandow @Rebecca_Adams

Sadly, it looks like the County will keep their posture of: hear no evil, see no evil, and do very little to address the major issues we face of mental health, drug addiction, and rising crime opportunitynowsv.org/blog/-perspect…

Many people have asked me about who I am supporting in this cycle. I am supporting the following candidates because they are passionate about our community's health, safety and cleanliness, and I trust them to increase fiscal responsibility and accountability.

BAHFA admission that it wildly lowballed (by more than $240 million) annual costs to taxpayers in the mammoth, misguided regional housing bond."RM4 is the fiscal equivalent of giving a pre-teen the keys to a 18-wheeler--it's a pileup waiting to happen."  opportunitynowsv.org/blog/ktvu-cove…

BAHFA “Not only are they brand new, but they either don’t know how to do math, or they’re trying to deliberately mislead the population,” Khamis told San José Spotlight. “One way or another, it doesn’t build trust, so why should we trust them?” sanjosespotlight.com/20-billion-bay…

“Governments, even when they have money, have not proven to be good stewards of their money,” Khamis told KQED. “There’s no accountability here.” kqed.org/news/12000157/…
