Surveillance Camera Removal
Auburn residents pushed back on Flock license-plate cameras, and the pressure appears to have worked—officials are now facing calls to remove the cameras from town. If you care about street surveillance and privacy, this is a direct test of how much say residents have over local tech.
City Manager Appointment
Auburn has an interim city manager running things after Sean Rabé left the top job. That keeps daily city operations moving while officials look for a permanent hire. If you care about city services not skipping a beat, this is the stopgap.
City Council Obituary
Auburn is mourning longtime councilmember Mike Holmes, who died at 86 after years of service. His seat is now vacant, and the city will likely weigh appointing someone or holding a special election to fill it.
