By Dr. Roughgarden is a retired economist and engineer with degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University.
|
Placer County Supervisor Bonnie Gore’s guest editorial, Gold Country Media, on August 22nd opposing Governor Newsom’s proposed redistricting misrepresents both the content and the need for the measure. She falsely claims that “Governor Newsom wants to dismantle the independent redistricting system…”, passed by voter initiative in 2008. To the contrary, respecting our non-partisan system, Newsom’s bill does not dismantle the system. It returns redistricting to the legislature only temporarily, until 2032, when the new census is expected be available.

Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine
|
"Two insiders explain why the Israeli-Palestinian peace process failed, and anticipate what lies ahead. On October 7, 2023, Hamas fighters killed more than eleven hundred Israelis and took more than two hundred hostages, prompting an Israeli response that has in turn taken tens of thousands of lives and devastated the Gaza Strip. Why did this happen, and can anything be done to grant peace and justice to Israelis and Palestinians alike?" Excerpt from Audiobook, Sep 16, 2025.
