RIVERSIDE - First District County Supervisor Bob Buster will move on to a November runoff election in his bid to retain his seat, and Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries beat out a career highway patrolman to earn a spot on the runoff ballot. Buster easily led the three-candidate field, but the battle for second place between Jeffries and Mike Soubirous was too close to call for much of the night after Tuesday's election. Final unofficial results showed Jeffries edging out Soubirous by about 400 votes. Buster, 67, is seeking his...
RIVERSIDE - Superior Court Judge Gary B. Tranbarger held off a challenge from former prosecutor Richard T. Nixon in Tuesday's election and will serve another six-year term. Nixon, of Valley Center, contended the incumbent has a record of not ''following the law.'' But the judge said that assertion was completely ''made up'' and evidence of his challenger's unfitness for a seat on the bench. Nixon retired from the Riverside County District Attorney's Office in 2006 after 18 years as a prosecutor and is now in private practice...

RIVERSIDE - A $175,000 federal grant to support the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's drug interdiction efforts was formally accepted today by the Board of Supervisors. The Drug Enforcement Administration ''Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program'' grant was awarded to the sheriff's office to offset its costs for investigating, locating, seizing and destroying marijuana grows. Most of the funds will be dedicated to cover overtime expenses for personnel in the sheriff's Special Investigations Bureau. ''The...
RIVERSIDE - The Riverside County Board of Supervisors today went on record in support of state legislation that would make it legal for a farmer to operate a heavy-duty truck without having to obtain a commercial driver's license. In a 5-0 vote, the board backed Assemblyman Luis Alejo's AB 1516, which would allow farmers and their employees to operate flatbed tow trucks weighing 14,000 pounds and dual-axle trucks weighing up to 28,500 pounds within 150 miles of their agricultural operation. Current law mandates that farm...
RIVERSIDE - A Riverside County supervisor will attempt to fend off challenges from a state assemblyman and a career highway patrolman in today's election. First District Supervisor Bob Buster, 67, is seeking his sixth term in office as he squares off against Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries and retired California Highway Patrol Cmdr. Mike Soubirous. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the two candidates with the highest counts will face each other in the November general election. Jeffries, 51, is being...
RIVERSIDE - Riverside County supervisors today tentatively approved a four-year collective bargaining agreement with the union representing sheriff's deputies, who will be required to pay more toward their own pensions but will receive annual cost-of-living adjustments and salary increases at the same time. County Department of Human Resources negotiators and representatives from the 2,500-member Riverside Sheriffs Association ironed out a deal last month that includes pension plan changes to lower the county's overall...
RIVERSIDE - A former prosecutor seeking to unseat a Riverside County Superior Court judge in today's election said his opponent has a record of not ''following the law,'' which the judge asserted is completely ''made up'' and evidence of his challenger's unfitness for a seat on the bench. Richard T. Nixon, 57, of Valley Center, is challenging Judge Gary B. Tranbarger, 60, of Riverside, in one of four countywide judicial contests. Whoever prevails will serve a six-year term. Nixon retired from the Riverside County District Att...
RIVERSIDE - A 25-year Inland Empire defense attorney today is taking on a longtime Riverside County probate judge whom the challenger says has treated the public unfairly, an accusation the judge called fiction as he stood by his record of the last 16 years. Attorney Michael Kennedy of Joshua Tree is confronting Superior Court Judge James ''Jim'' Cox of Indian Wells in today's primary election. Kennedy has been working as a defense lawyer since the mid-1980s, specializing over the past decade in driving-under-the-influence ca...
RIVERSIDE - A Superior Court judge being challenged in his reelection bid today by a veteran prosecutor said voters should consider his ''breadth of experience'' before casting their ballots, but his opponent argued the county has been poorly served by the incumbent. Riverside County voters will decide whether to elect Judge Craig Riemer to a second six-year term or give Deputy District Attorney John Henry a shot at the job. With the county Deputy District Attorneys' Association throwing its money and weight behind Henry,...
