HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM HEATHER: In this issue, our editor Eric Weilbacher covers a story about aquatic vegetation restoration and controlling nonnative sh species in our rivers. Much progress has been made, and soon it will be more about maintaining these ecosystems (see Page 25). Heather Demere, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM ERIC: How will the city of San Marcos handle the repeal of the meet and confer agreement between the San Marcos Police O cers’ Association and the city going forward? Reporter Zara Flores takes a deep dive into what voting to repeal the agreement—which the City Council passed in September and then repealed in February—could mean in the coming months (see Pages 22-23).
