First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 93 Low: 59. Here are the top stories in Sacramento today: Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg has tested positive for COVID-19. In a tweet he said he tested positive on Friday, though he is fully vaccinated. He said that he is currently experiencing cold-like symptoms and will quarantine. He ended his tweet by saying "The Delta variant is highly contagious, and if you're not vaccinated there's a much higher chance of serious illness or death. Please take good care, Sacramento!" (KCRA3) The number of pedestrians killed in traffic accidents in 2021 is trending upward from previous years. There have been 16 pedestrians killed already this year versus 15 for all of 2020 and 13 in 2019. This is a trend that law enforcement officers are hoping to end by educating violators on the issue. Sacramento Police data shows pedestrians have been found at fault in related crashes 75% of the time. Police ask pedestrians to avoid being a victim of a traffic collision by always using crosswalks. (ABC10) The person accused in the violent death of Mary "Kate" Tibbits in Land Park was a parolee, who was arrested in June for stealing a car while out on parole. His parole officer was not informed of his June arrest. Troy Davis was booked into the Sacramento County Jail at 7 a.m. on June 18, yet, 13 hours later he was released on his own recognizance under what is known as "zero bail", meaning he did not have to pay bail and promised to appear at his next court date. Misdemeanors and non-violent felonies qualify for zero bail. The auto theft arrest Davis faced was a non-violent crime; however he was out on bail for a violent crime when he stole the car. It appears that his violent history was not taken into consideration before he was released. (KCRA3) California lawmakers have left the Capitol following the close of the 2021 legislative session. Whatever the outcome of the recall election, Governor Newsom will likely still have the final say on the hundreds of bills the Legislature put on his desk in the past two weeks.
