• San Leandro: Suspect charged in beating of 78-year-old man during home invasion robbery (mercurynews.com) — A 41-year-old Oakland man has been charged in connection with an October home invasion robbery in San Leandro that left a 78-year-old resident injured. Prosecutors say two men entered the Foothill Boulevard home, threatened the victim with a gun, and stole items including vinyl records and a radio. One suspect faces multiple felony counts, while another has been identified but not charged.
   

• Gavin Newsom will need California lawmakers' help to achieve final year goals (sacbee.com) — San Leandro gets a brief spotlight as Gov. Gavin Newsom cites local fusion research as an example of businesses benefiting from California’s CalCompetes tax credits. His State of the State address focuses on big statewide moves in education governance, housing costs, kids’ online safety, and a more business-friendly climate, all of which could indirectly shape San Leandro’s schools, housing market, and economy.
