From a controversial DMV data-sharing law to the return of triple-digit heat, Sacramento saw a week packed with news affecting daily life across the region.<\/p>\n
Here’s a quick look at this week\u2019s headlines:<\/p>\n
The 173rd California State Fair returns to Cal Expo<\/a> for 17 days starting Friday with the theme \u201cWish You Were Here.\u201d New attractions include the Hip Hop ride, a traveling grand carousel with horses valued over $30,000 each and the first-ever First Peoples\u2019 Art Showcase.California state workers returned to offices four days a week<\/a> under Newsom\u2019s return-to-office order that took effect earlier this month, but unions say the fight for telework isn\u2019t over. Labor groups are backing Assembly Bill 1729 and eyeing the next governor\u2019s race, where Democratic candidate Xavier Becerra has signaled openness to more generous remote work policies.Sacramento\u2019s triple-digit heat returned Tuesday<\/a> at 104 degrees, snapping a roughly monthlong stretch without one and marking just the third 100-degree day of the summer. A heat dome over the eastern U.S. kept most serious above-average heat away from California, but temperatures could reach nearly 110 in parts of the San Joaquin Valley this week.Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a controversial DMV transportation bill<\/a> that allows California to share driver records \u2014 including names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth \u2014 with other state DMVs through the State-by-State system to verify REAL ID compliance. After months of negotiations, lawmakers added guardrails including a monitoring plan and an advisory committee with immigration, LGBTQ+ and cybersecurity experts.Aviator\u2019s Restaurant at Sacramento Executive Airport remains closed<\/a> six months after a routine kitchen floor repair uncovered crumbling concrete, corroded rebar, asbestos and mold. Sacramento County estimates repairs could take about two years, though owner Cheung-Sang Chik and county officials say they remain committed to reopening the 25-year-old eatery. <\/p>\n This report was produced with the assistance of a proprietary tool powered by artificial intelligence based on our own originally reported, written and published content.
