📰 News we're reading

• New Postage Rules in Effect (independentvoice.com) — USPS has changed how it defines the official postmark date, which could affect Dixon residents mailing time-sensitive items like tax payments or legal documents. Now, the postmark is tied to the first automated processing scan, not when you drop mail at the Dixon post office, so residents may want to request a manual postmark or use certified options.
   

• Busy Bees Thank General Electric (independentvoice.com) — Residents at the Dixon Senior Center’s Busy Bees group are enjoying new winter craft supplies thanks to a generous donation from General Electric of Dixon. Their gift of fabric, yarn, and natural decorations, plus treats to share, is helping seniors create warm blankets, hats, and festive wreaths while strengthening community spirit this season.
   

• Waymo to begin testing robotaxis in more Bay Area cities (mercurynews.com) — Dixon is on the short list of Solano County cities where Waymo’s driverless “robotaxis” have been approved for testing by the state DMV, though paid rides still need another permit. Local leaders elsewhere in the county see potential for better late-night transportation and economic growth, while some residents worry about safety, potholes, and lost gig-work driving jobs.
