The 12 Best Suburbs Near Sacramento, California For An Affordable Retirement

One retirement community near Sacramento has two championship golf courses and two separate lodges. That’s not a resort. It’s a neighborhood where people actually live. I have to admit, that detail stopped me cold. Then I learned another town nearby was founded by a railroad back in 1869.

Yolo County election update: Pritchard concedes in 3rd District, hotel tax leading

Woodland City Councilmember Mayra Vega widened her lead Friday over supervisor’s deputy Dotty Pritchard in the race for the Yolo County Board of Supervisors’ 3rd District seat, a day after Pritchard conceded the election. Vega led by 1,093 votes in the latest unofficial returns released Friday afternoon by the Yolo County Office of Elections, receiving 55.4% of the vote compared with Pritchard’s 44.6%. Her lead grew by 214 votes since election night , when she was ahead by 879 votes. On Thursday, Pritchard conceded the race to replace outgoing Supervisor Mary Vixie Sandy in a social media post. “Things didn’t work out the way we wanted,” Pritchard wrote. “But I congratulate Ms. Vega on her win. Let’s get behind her for the betterment of Yolo County.” Vega’s lead grew slightly with Friday’s updated results. With 46.1% of votes counted, Vega received 55.4% of votes and Pritchard won 44.6%. In June, Pritchard finished first in a three-candidate primary, receiving 40% of the vote to Vega’s 32%. Xotchl Rodriguez, who did not qualify for the November ballot, received 28%. Early precinct-level returns suggested Vega drew stronger support in more densely populated parts of the district, including downtown Woodland and the Bryte and

Napa County Eyes Winery Rule Changes as Industry Downturn Deepens

Napa County is weighing changes that could let wineries welcome walk-in visitors and expand production limits for small operations, after the Board of Supervisors discussed potential amendments aimed at easing pressure on an industry battered by a prolonged downturn. The changes are modest compared to what wine-industry groups say they actually need, and they still require approval from the Board of Supervisors before taking effect.

Sacramento-area headlines: a CSU labor deal and deadly car crash near Galt

From labor talks at California’s largest public university system to a Halloween costume controversy and a deadly rural crash, here’s a roundup of recent Sacramento-area news. The California State University system reached a tentative agreement with the CSU Employees Union , which represents about 14,500 staff including custodians, nurses and IT specialists. The deal includes a salary step system and a $3,575 bonus in December, with members voting by Nov. 17, even as the faculty union prepares for a possible strike. The Onyx Club in Roseville said it kicked out a man wearing a Nazi armband on Halloween night after a customer complained, pushing back against social media accusations that staff had tolerated the costume. The bar said the man had concealed the armband under a jacket when he entered and was removed after an altercation with another customer. A driver was killed and a 32-year-old woman and a 2-year-old child were seriously injured in a crash Tuesday evening on Alta Mesa Road near Galt. The California Highway Patrol said the Honda Pilot driver turned left into the path of a southbound Chevrolet Silverado about 6:50 p.m.; the pickup driver suffered minor injuries. This report was produced with the assistance

‘Stay tuned': McCarty pledges help to speed up Sacramento State's downtown campus

The state of California may need more than two years to ready a site where Sacramento State plans to eventually build a downtown campus. The state plans to demolish three mammoth buildings spanning multiple downtown blocks. Still, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty said Thursday that the city will look to ease the process. “We’re working with the university to fast-track their downtown campus,” McCarty said during his annual “State of the City” address. “So stay tuned. News coming.” The potential timeline for a downtown campus was detailed in a recent report by the California Department of General Services, which serves as the state’s business manager. It is the most definitive timeline for the project since Sacramento State President Luke Wood announced in January that Meta had donated $50 million toward the demolition of the three buildings. “It’s still definitely in DGS’s court for some time,” Wood said in an interview last week. The buildings occupy multiple city blocks along Capitol Mall between Seventh and Ninth streets, near where many of the city’s high-profile firms have offices. The demolition process would begin in fall 2027 and last 18 months, the document said. The university has said its plans include housing , a

Sac City Unified, opponents react as Measure M remains below two-thirds threshold

With ballots counted from only about 30% of eligible voters in the Sacramento City Unified School District, Measure M was winning a slim majority of early votes but remained far short of the two-thirds support needed to pass. The measure, which would impose an annual $95-per-parcel tax expected to raise about $10 million for SCUSD’s special education and early intervention programs, faced opposition over the added cost to property owners. Nikki Milevsky-Davis, president of the Sacramento City Teachers Association, said the union was encouraged that a majority of votes counted so far supported the measure. By early Wednesday, about 51.6% of votes were in favor of the measure. “It’s unfortunate that a two-thirds requirement will deprive Sac City students of the resources they so richly deserve,” she added. SCTA, along with the California Teachers Association and the National Education Association, supported Measure M as a way to help the district cover its increasing special education costs, a challenge shared by districts across the state. The financially distressed district’s special education costs have become one of its fastest growing expenses, with its unrestricted general fund contribution rising from $73.6 million in 2018-19 to a projected $172.3 million in 2025-26. The district

Rodent enters Sacramento restaurant during health inspection. What else was found?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a soul food restaurant after finding about rodent droppings throughout the facility in addition to the live rodent. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com . How to report a business to the health department For readers who would like to report a local restaurant, food truck or café for health violations, you can file

Democrat declares win, Republican doesn't concede in Sacramento-area Assembly race

Democrat Amy Slavensky declared victory Friday evening in the competition for a Sacramento County Assembly seat over Republican incumbent Josh Hoover. Her lead grew to 53.1% of the vote for the 7th Assembly District after the county released updated results earlier in the day. They are separated by more than 7,000 ballots. “I’m ready to go to work for the people, no matter who they are, where they come from, or who they voted for, because that’s how I serve and that’s the job,” she said in a statement. But Hoover said he was not ready to concede. “I just think it’s way too early,” he said. “We want to let the elections officials do their job.” The district includes Citrus Heights, Folsom and Rancho Cordova and has 14,000 more Democrats than Republicans. Yet Hoover has held the seat since he upset a Democratic incumbent in 2022. The contest is one of several Democrats are hoping to flip so they can expand their supermajority in the Legislature. The seat overlaps with parts of the 6th Senate District, where Republican incumbent Roger Niello, R-Fair Oaks, is only leading by a slim margin .
