Humpday Headlines Two Mountain Lions Killed After NorCal Attack on Camp Counselor

Richard Jue, the Chief of Staff for the San Francisco Sheriff's Office, faces an arrest warrant after changing his account of how his city-issued vehicle was damaged. He initially claimed another vehicle hit him while he was inside a restaurant, but later admitted to striking an unoccupied Tesla after suffering a medical issue while driving. In a related development, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has suspended its traffic calming program due to budget cuts, leaving a backlog of 300 resident requests unaddressed. This suspension raises concerns about pedestrian safety in the city. On June 14, a mountain lion scratched a camp counselor at a summer camp in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, leading to the killing of both the animal and another mountain lion involved.

Additionally, the cargo ship Morning Midas sank off the Alaskan coast after burning for three weeks, carrying hundreds of vehicles and over 1,800 metric tons of fuel, posing a potential environmental threat. These incidents reflect various safety and environmental challenges facing the region. Local officials are urged to address these pressing issues to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
