Foul Play

RICHMOND - Police arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of murder in the strangulation death of his wife in their South 18th Street home.
Authorities first thought 47-year-old Marilyn Mays died in a medical emergency, police Lt. Mark Gagan said. Someone called 911 about 2:15 a.m. to report she was not breathing.
Paramedics took her to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. But an autopsy later in the day revealed she was the victim of foul play, Gagan said.
Detectives interviewed the victim's husband, Pierre Mays and, after finding evidence during a search of their home, arrested him and booked him into County Jail in Martinez.
Gagan said domestic issue preceded the killing, the 37th reported this year in Richmond.

dont forget education, no matter how many jobs are available if the kids aren't educated properly they will not get hired by any competent employer.

You're on the wrong thread, but we'll answer you all the same...
Education is critical, of course, but school boards are probably who you're thinking of, with day-to-day functions like curriculum or hiring/firing. Teachers, parents, and students themselves also share the burden of effective education. City government is more likely to be involved in how residents are or aren't being serviced, and that might be something they could be very good at: getting all interested parties on the same page and advocating for residents.
Nonetheless, if there aren't businesses with jobs to offer in Richmond, that education leaves town daily with the commute, or packs up permanently.
Still waiting for answers to our questions,
