Here are four of the top stories in San Diego today:

1. State and local leaders in California plan to protect and expand reproductive rights here. A plan to add Amendment 10 to the State’s constitution is being considered. It would uphold the right to choose abortion and contraception. A 2/3 vote in the State Assembly would be necessary to place the amendment on the November statewide ballot.

2. Brace yourself! San Diego County Water Authority is raising rates to its member agencies. Rates to Water Authority member agencies will increase by 3.7 percent for untreated water and 5.2 percent for treated water. What does that mean for you? You guessed it: a higher cost for water in 2023. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (San Diego Metro)
