Oceanside is one of several cities looking to raise or extend previous raises in the local sales tax rate. Oceanside city Measure X would extend a half-cent city sales tax first approved in 2018 an extra ten years through April of 2036, keeping the local total sales tax rate at 8 ¼%. According to a city staff report, Measure X money has been used exclusively to improve road conditions, modernize city infrastructure, enhance public safety, help with homelessness, and expand youth programs. If not renewed, the extra half-cent would go away after April 2026. The measure requires a simple majority to pass. https://patch.com/california/oceanside-camppendleton/measure-x-aims-extend-oceansides-half-cent-sales-tax

SPORTS
In Major League Baseball – This year’s World Series will be between the Dodgers and the Yankees – just like the good ole’ days. It came about as the Yankees won Game 5 in the American League pennant series with the Guardians in Cleveland. Final score 5-2 in ten innings thanks to a three-run homer by Juan Soto. Yankees took the series four games to one. Then yesterday, the Dodgers got out to an early lead, earning all the runs they’d need in the bottom of the third, going on to win 10-5 over the Mets in Game 6 at Dodger Stadium, taking the National League pennant four games to two. The Dodgers have been in the World Series 21 times. The Yankees hold the record at 41 times. This will be the 12th time they’ve faced each other in the World Series – the most of any matchup. During baseball’s golden era, the then-Brooklyn Dodgers and Yankees played each other in the Fall classic six time in ten years beginning in 1947. The last time was 1981. Out of the eleven times they’ve met in the World Series, New York won eight of them. Game One of this year’s World Series is this Friday in Los Angeles.

2,400 mental health workers at Kaiser Permanente locations across Southern California are on strike as of this morning after management rejected contract proposals to improve wages, benefits and prep time for therapists. The National Union of Healthcare Workers’ contract expired September 30. The strike is happening just a year after Kaiser settled for $200m with state regulators who found that patients were subjected to excessive wait times for appointments. Union leaders say the problems are still there. Kaiser says its therapists already get wages above market rates and that it had offered an 18% raise during negotiations. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-10-21/kaiser-mental-health-therapists-strike-southern-california
The strike by machinists against Boeing may be about to end. The union and the company have agreed to a contract proposal featuring a 35% pay increase over the next four years, bigger 401(k) contributions and a higher signing bonus. Last month, labor overwhelmingly rejected a 25% raise. 30k union members will vote on the new proposal Wednesday with the union telling its members the deal is “worthy of your consideration”. The strike is in its 5th week, has halted production of most lines of Boeing aircraft and cost the company over $1b. www.morningbrew.com

Less than a year after rebooting under a new parent company, BuyBuy Baby is once again closing all of its stores and shifting to online-only. Closeout sales began Friday.
