Yet Silicon Valley's powerful labor lobby has no one to run for the seat.And time is running out. Candidates have a month left to file papers to run for political office. As of this week, no one from organized labor has emerged to challenge Mayor Matt Mahan -- a business-backed moderate Democrat who pulled off a decisive win last year against labor's most recognizable fixture: Supervisor Cindy Chavez. Three executives charged for allegedly bribing DBI employees for building permits In many ways, Silicon Valley labor leaders pinned all their hopes -- and coveted endorsements and campaign cash -- on Chavez. They abandoned other progressive lawmakers in the mayor's race like former Councilmember Raul Peralez to go all in on Chavez. But they got it wrong. Voters chose fresh-faced Mah...1 dead, 1 wounded in Gaithersburg shooting

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Tommy DeVito is still living in the low-rent district of the New York Giants’ locker room.It’s an area in the middle of the room where temporary lockers have been set up for the 16 players on the practice squad and others on injured reserve working with the training staff. The lockers are a little smaller than the permanent ones that surround the room, and they don’t have lock cabinets for valuables.It’s not a place where one would expect to find the starting quarterback for the Giants (2-7) for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys (5-2) in Dallas.When DeVito, an undrafted free agent out of Illinois, was elevated from the practice squad last week after backup Tyrod Taylor (ribs) went on injured reserve, he didn’t take one of the permanent lockers.
