Angels Camp, CA...(The overflow crowd was too large for the firehouse. Hard to have the fire dept ignore those fire safety codes when you are in the firehouse. Meeting continued till October 21st and will be held in larger venue) The Mark Twain Medical Clinic project on Dogtown Road is back before the City Council tonight and is likely to get the green light. Much work has been done since the last meeting to find common ground and meet many of the traffic mitigation objections of the Dogtown - Gardner Lane neighborhoods. We have had a couple of off the record conversations with some of the parties involved and there is a possibility for even better migrations than what will be the official proposal tonight. So looks like we may get the needed job growth and improved or at least not worsened traffic. The complete agenda is enclosed and the meeting starts tonight at 6pm in the Firehouse...

Washington, DC...Hi, everybody. I’m at Millennium Steel in Princeton, Indiana, to have a town hall with workers on National Manufacturing Day. Because in many ways, manufacturing is the quintessential middle-class job. And after a decade of losing jobs, American manufacturing is once again adding them – more than 700,000 over the past four and a half years.

Sacramento, CA...Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today signed the nation’s first statewide ban on single-use plastic bags – SB 270 – aligning state law with ordinances passed by a growing number of local governments in California to reduce plastic waste. “This bill is a step in the right direction – it reduces the torrent of plastic polluting our beaches, parks and even the vast ocean itself,” said Governor Brown. “We’re the first to ban these bags, and we won’t be the last.”

New York, NY...PRESIDENT OBAMA: Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General, fellow delegates, ladies and gentlemen: We come together at a crossroads between war and peace; between disorder and integration; between fear and hope. Around the globe, there are signposts of progress. The shadow of World War that existed at the founding of this institution has been lifted, and the prospect of war between major powers reduced. The ranks of member states has more than tripled, and more people live under governments they elected. Hundreds of millions of human beings have been freed from the prison of poverty, with the proportion of those living in extreme poverty cut in half. And the world economy continues to strengthen after the worst financial crisis of our lives....
