Sacramento finally sees Califia. Can the city get her the help she desperately needs?

The city government of Sacramento, from Mayor Kevin McCarty to paramedics, wants to save 33-year-old Califia Carlisle from more than a decade of homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness. But in assembling its effort, the city discovered that there was no record of Carlisle in the official Sacramento County homeless database, despite that she has been swept for years from illegal homeless encampments and arrested for panhandling near the Home Depot off Folsom Boulevard. Officially, it was as if Carlisle had never existed. “She is hiding in plain sight,” said 69-year-old Christopher Carlisle, Califia’s father, who attended a recent briefing with city and county staff about his daughter. There are nearly 6,000 homeless people in Sacramento County’s Homeless Information Management System, or HMIS. Sacramento Steps Forward is the nonprofit group that manages the database. Califia’s absence from county records illustrates the fallibility of homeless record keeping in California. It’s why Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claim that homelessness has decreased by 13% in the last two years should be viewed with skepticism. The HMIS database, like the biennial count conducted on a single day in January, is flawed because people experiencing homelessness are difficult to count, and the methods used to track

PG&E Warns New CA Regulations Will Reduce Undergrounding Of Power Lines

Sacramento, CA — A California Public Utilities Commission proposal would affect planned utility work in Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador, and Mariposa counties.

California roads kill 44,000 deer a year, UC Davis estimates. Highway 50 is a hotspot

Vehicles kill an estimated 44,000 mule deer and 780 mountain lions on California roads each year, according to a new UC Davis report that identified hundreds of wildlife collision hotspots across the state, including a stretch of Highway 50 in El Dorado County. The 2026 California Roadkill Hotspots Report, released Tuesday by the university’s Road Ecology Center, found that wildlife collisions remained a persistent problem despite growing investments in crossings designed to help animals move safely across highways. Researchers argued that California needs more roadside fencing to prevent animals from entering traffic, particularly where existing bridges and culverts could provide safe passage beneath highways. “But just building a crossing doesn’t mean wildlife will use it — they’ll try to cross wherever they are. Fencing is the answer to reducing roadkill, not crossings alone,” said Fraser Shilling, director of the UC Davis Road Ecology Center. Thousands of animals killed on California roads Researchers estimated that vehicles killed more than 44,000 mule deer annually on California freeways, highways and major paved roads between 2016 and 2024. That represented nearly 10% of the state’s estimated 475,000 mule deer and more than four times the number reported killed by hunters in 2024. The report

Lara protects 50,000 Californians across three counties from non-renewals following wildfire emergency

Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara today ordered insurance companies to preserve residential property insurance coverage for approximately 50,000 policyholders in Tuolumne, Stanislaus and Calaveras counties after Governor Gavin Newsom issued an emergency declaration for the Dove Fire. The Commissioner’s Bulletin shields those living within the fire perimeters or adjoining ZIP Codes of the Dove Fire from insurance non-renewal or cancellation for one year from the date of the governor’s emergency declaration, regardless of whether they suffered a loss.

Republican Hoover concedes Sacramento-area Assembly seat to Democratic challenger

Assemblymember Josh Hoover, R-Folsom, on Tuesday conceded to his Democratic challenger Amy Slavensky in the race for a Sacramento County statehouse seat. Hoover had declined to concede Friday after Slavensky declared victory for the 7th Assembly District. His concession came after Sacramento County released its latest vote totals. Slavensky had 53.2% of the vote as of Tuesday afternoon. “I just called my opponent to congratulate her on her victory,” Hoover said on X. “While there are still many ballots left to count, our team no longer sees a viable path to closing the gap like we did when we flipped this seat in 2022.” Hoover said it has been the “honor of a lifetime” to serve the area in district — which includes Folsom, Fair Oaks and Rancho Cordova — in the Assembly. The seat was one Democrats were eager to wrestle back. Slavensky will be part of what is expected to be a widening Democratic supermajority in the Legislature. She has worked 40 years in California public schools as a teacher, principal and superintendent, according to her campaign website. She said her campaign knocked on over 16,700 doors, engaged 400 volunteers and sent 150,000 texts. “I thank the hundreds

‘You can’t do it this way’: Sacramento sheriff, Placer DA condemn Newsom’s clemency order

Governor Gavin Newsom has made a sweeping change to California’s death row. Last week Newsom used his executive clemency authority to convert all death sentences in the state — nearly 550 in total — to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Newsom previously instituted a moratorium on capital punishment in California in 2019.
