Don't get scammed seniors! According to the National Council on Aging, financial scams targeting Seniors have become so prevalent that they're considered “the crime of the 21st century.” In honor of declaring May as “Older Americans Month” in Santa Clara County, on Friday, May 23 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. the Office of District Attorney Jeffrey F. Rosen and I will be co-hosting a free “Scam Prevention for Seniors” event for South County seniors at the Gilroy Senior Center, 7371 Hanna St. Gilroy.

Had to give a fist pump at my desk when I read that he said taking a look at syncing traffic lights at Sunrise Drive, West Day Road and East Day Road along Santa Teresa Boulevard might help with traffic flow around Christopher High at peak times. Hallelujah! Servin says it takes time to coordinate with the Valley Transportation Authority, but it’s clear that “Servin” the public is about listening, driving about town,  making keen observations and working through the process to a good end. Henry seems to get it.
