Sacramento officials assess damage; Senate cancels meetings

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Sacramento is assessing the damage after a third consecutive night of protests over the killing of George Floyd.

The state Senate canceled all of its scheduled meetings Monday and ordered lawmakers and staff not to enter the state Capitol. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration ordered all state government offices in downtown areas to close.

Downtown Sacramento Partnership Executive Director Michael Ault said nearly two-thirds of the 600 properties in the group were damaged.

Unlike most major cities in California, Sacramento did not impose a curfew over the weekend. Mayor Darrel Steinberg said Monday he would ask the City Council to approve a curfew.
