SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a Climate Action Plan with a 90 percent renewable energy target for unincorporated areas of San Diego County by 2030. The plan includes 26 items that range from reducing the number of miles traveled in county vehicles to acquiring conservation land and installing solar panels on existing homes. The plan covers the region’s unincorporated areas that are home to some 492,500 people, as well as county government operations. The county’s initial plan approved in...
SAN DIEGO – The Cleveland National Forest Foundation released a new report, Feb. 13 that indicates San Diego County’s draft Climate Action Plan fails to include sufficient realistic measures to reduce enough county-generated greenhouse gas emissions to meet state mandates. State measures, including Assembly Bill 32 and Senate Bill 375, require every city and county in the state to develop detailed plans to curb such emission in the effort to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. The board of supervisors con...

The ages of the people who have died from flu this season range from 1 to 101. Thirty-three (13 percent) of these deaths were of people under 65 years old, which are the only cases public health agencies are required to report in California. The County informs the public about all flu deaths. “Influenza activity continues to be widespread and, u...
FALLBROOK – The Centers for Disease Control released new statistics for the 2016 year, in January 2018. For the state of California, suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth ages 10-24.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors did not heed the calls of residents who sounded off against its plan to hold this year’s budget hearings during the day, rather than at night as has been the case in recent years. Deriding the board as out of touch and lacking transparency, the half-dozen residents who addressed the supervisors said the plan was a blow against open government because far fewer people can attend meetings during the day to offer feedback on the county’s $5.7 billion budget blueprint. The board in Dec...

For the fourth consecutive year the winner of the girls’ water polo game between Fallbrook High School and Ramona High School would also be the Valley League champion.

That’s why I have introduced Assembly Bill 2087, which will require all state agencies to establish modernization goals with specified objectives no later than Jan. 1, 2020. The bill seeks to establish flexible, family friendly workplaces and efficient, streamlined processes in a way that will enhance cyber security, save money, reduce emissions, i...
FALLBROOK – For the past 20 years, the U.S. has seen unlimited gun ownership proliferate to a point of no return. Congress seems too timid to stand up to the National Rifle Association and their Second Amendment speak, and no one who stands on their Second Amendment rights without limitations, restrictions or much personal responsibility in most states wants to consider that their gun rights stop when guns injure others. Even the Heller case advocates responsible gun use. Please don’t tell me that it isn’t your fault that som...
