📰 News we're reading
1. Is your license plate being tracked in California? Here's how to tell (sacbee.com) — Roseville drivers are being monitored by Flock license plate cameras, including one watching traffic near Five Star Boulevard, as part of a fast‑growing surveillance network across California. The piece explains how these cameras work, who uses them, and how you can check whether your own plate has been searched using a public database that compiles government audit logs. 
2. After 48 years in business, this beloved California casual dining chain is shutting down over 100 locations nationwide (secretlosangeles.com) — Mimi's Cafe has been shrinking for years, and Roseville is among the California communities that have already lost their local restaurant. With more than 100 locations closed nationwide and only 38 left, the chain's pullback leaves Sacramento‑area diners with just one remaining Mimi's in Elk Grove and underscores how rising costs are reshaping familiar dining options.
3. House Panel Examines Cyber Threats and Rising Water Costs (legis1.com) — Roseville's city government has spent $50,000 this year lobbying Congress on water legislation, PFAS liability protections, and federal drinking‑water funding, as lawmakers respond to cyberattacks and rising water costs nationwide. A key House subcommittee will soon debate bills aimed at hardening water systems against digital threats while keeping data‑center infrastructure costs from landing on household bills.
4. US Cities Are Terminating Flock Camera Contracts at Record Pace in August After Nationwide Pushback (goodnewsnetwork.org) — Roseville appears in a national spotlight after an investigation found Flock cameras misread plates in 71% of 1,427 stolen‑vehicle and felony alerts there in 2023–24. The story details growing nationwide backlash, contract cancellations, and political scrutiny of the company's surveillance network, raising questions about accuracy, privacy, and police reliance on the technology.
