We will send an executive memo to Pamela Turntine, asking that she agrees to exercise the power of her position as editor-in-chief of Berkeleyside to support the passing of Assembly Bill 75. As a highly respected figure in our community, her voice can significantly influence public opinion and legislative outcomes.
