Marin Voice: County’s high dig-in numbers are a safety concern
In Marin, it’s not earthquakes or storms that rupture underground gas and electric lines — it’s people with shovels. With the arrival of “National Safe Digging Day” (aka 811 Day) on Monday, we face a hidden but urgent public safety threat — one that puts lives, homes and critical infrastructure at risk. It’s time to stop treating dig-ins as accidents and start seeing them for what they are: avoidable failures we know how to prevent.
How Economic Reforms of the 1980s Changed the Face of Vietnam
