Oakland A’s to Temporarily Move to West Sac
The Oakland A’s will play in West Sacramento for three years starting in 2025. The team, which is in the process of moving from the Bay Area to Las Vegas, will play at Sutter Health Park, the home of the Sacramento RiverCats. Fox 40 Sports Reporter Sean Cunningham shares more behind the temporary move. Barry Broome is the President & CEO of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council and discusses what this means for the region. And West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero explains the impact this will have on the city.
New District 2 Councilmember Shoun Thao
Sacramento City Council District 2 spans neighborhoods like Del Paso Heights, Hagginwood and Woodlake. The city council seat has been vacant since former councilmember Sean Loloee’s resignation, following a federal indictment. An election is underway to fill that seat, with the top two candidates likely heading to the November runoff. Until then, a new councilmember has been appointed - with deep roots in the community. We’ll meet new councilmember Shoun Thao, who was raised in the district and is the executive director of Hmong Youth and Parents United. Thao was sworn in this week and will serve until December.
Nevada City Nisenan’s ‘Homeland Return’
The Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe is closing in on the purchase of some of its ancestral homeland, a 232-acre parcel at the site of the historic Nisenan village site of Yulica. Shelly Covert is the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribal Council Spokesperson and the Executive Director of the California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project (CHIRP) and joins us about what this venture means for their tribal community, as well as the cultural and revitalization practices they hope to bring back.
