The last time the ocean off Northern California looked like this, a marine heat wave and an El Niño wiped out most of the North Coast’s bull kelp, and the state’s own staff report says this year closely matches that stretch from 2014 to 2016. The California...

Another voice …The long-delayed end of an era

After years of controversy, mismanagement, incompetence, tens of millions of unaccountable pot permit fees and tax dollars dumped into the general fund in contradiction to what the voters said they wanted it to go to, many more consultant and permit prep dollars, much frustration (especially by, but not limited to, pot permit applicants), hundreds of useless meetings, lots of lawyers and self-made “consultants,” and frequent managerial turnover, Mendocino County is finally (and ignominiously and quietly) admitting the obvious and giving up on the idea of having an official Cannabis Program Manager.

PG&E gets conditional OK to drill into Mendocino County's Cape Horn dam

Federal regulators are still reviewing PG&E's request to give up the license and remove the dams. photo credit: Kyle Schwartz/Cal Trout via Bay City News The Cape Horn dam on the Eel River in Mendocino County, a source of water for the Russian River. PG&E has a conditional OK to drill into Cape Horn Dam on the Eel River, one of two dams in Mendocino County it wants to tear down. The holes will test the dam, the ground under it and the river sediment that has built up behind it, according to records filed with state and federal dam regulators. Cape Horn Dam holds back Van Arsdale Reservoir. An intake 400 feet upstream of the dam takes in Eel River water. The water runs through the Potter Valley Project's tunnels to the East Fork of the Russian River, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. PG&E has asked the commission, known as FERC, to let it give up its license for the project and remove both Cape Horn and Scott dams. It would keep only the parts of Cape Horn needed for a new diversion, the New Eel-Russian Facility. In a May planning document, FERC staff wrote that removing

East Perkins Street Multimodal Transportation Plan

The City of Ukiah is making a long-term plan to make East Perkins Street safer and easier to use for everyone, however they get around. The plan covers East Perkins Street from Main Street to Oak Manor Drive. This is a planning project, not a construction project. The recent paving and lane work improved East Perkins Street, but this plan will help define its long-term future. Looking 5 to 10 years ahead, it will give the City a community-supported plan to use when applying for funding to design and build improvements.

The midterm election was a Democratic wave, but underlying numbers show nuance in California

Eric McGhee, fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, notes multiple of the state's congressional Democrats, won in head to heads against other Democrats this November. photo credit: Wikimedia/Mrs. Gemstones It's been over a week since election day, and more races in Sonoma County and around the state are getting settled. The midterm elections on November 3rd delivered big wins for Democratic Party candidates across the country, the county, and the state. Joanna Paun, endorsed by the Sonoma County Democratic Party in the race for the county's 2nd district supervisor seat, officially declared victory a week after election night. Melanie Bagby, also endorsed by the local democratic party, continues to hold a slim lead in the race for 4th district supervisor. Sonoma County will also be represented by three Democrats in Congress in Washington D.C. Eric McGhee, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California said despite the major Democratic Party gains, there's some nuance to the story in California. "If you just look at the races that had both a Democrat and Republican on the ballot, so cross-party contested races, the the swing in those seats was actually smaller than it was in similar seats in

Ignoring Voters; Hiding Info From Supervisors

For years Supervisor Ted Williams complained that the County was on the verge of bankruptcy and, contradictorily, that he was not getting some financial reports he wanted. Williams aimed much of his criticism in the past at County Auditor-Controller Chamise Cubbison instead of (former) CEO Darcie Antle who should have been providing the Supervisors with monthly or at least quarterly budget status reports.
