Oakland PD officer killed in line of duty identified Victor Manzo, an employee at Sweet Sicily in Sunnyvale, said the city's 60 cent increase won't have a large impact.

A study by doxoinsights ranked San Jose first in how much residents pay on common household bills in the nation's 50 largest cities -- beating out Boston, New York and Sa...
