The findings come from an audit by the state's Office of the Inspector General, which examined food programs and services inside California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation facilities.

California Republican leader loses Central Valley reelection bid

Assembly Republican Leader Alexandra Macedo, R-Tulare, suffered a stunning upset Friday in her reelection bid for her Central Valley seat, capping off what has been a disastrous legislative election for the party. The Associated Press called the race just before 6 p.m. for Democratic challenger Hipolito Cerros, who came from behind to take the lead. He had 50.7% of ballots cast. “While ballots are still being counted, it now appears we will fall just short in our campaign for re-election to the state Assembly,” Macedo, 32, said in a statement. Cerros, 28, is a former small town mayor who was defeated by Macedo in the June primary and did not run a major campaign on his way to victory. The loss helps expand the Democratic majority in the Assembly that could reach a record not seen since the 1850s. Senate Minority Leader Roger Niello, R-Fair Oaks, is also at risk of losing his seat . The district is about 45 miles southeast of Fresno and includes Hanford, Corcoran and parts of Visalia. Republicans make up 35.64% of registered voters. Democrats make up 33.21%. “I’m ready to work to provide solutions regardless of background,” Cerros said. “My door’s always open for

Tulare County Cemetery honors California's only Revolutionary War widow

The Alta Mira Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held a marker dedication ceremony for Revolutionary War widow Mary Rose Humphrey Hull at Deep Creek Cemetery near Farmersville on Nov. 7. The program included remarks from local officials, Hull’s descendants, and members of the Alta Mira Chapter, as well as performances of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America” by the Farmersville High School Choir. Farmersville Mayor Paul Boyer welcomed those in attendance and Tulare County Supervisor Larry Micari made presentations to Marsha Scott and Rochelle Miguel, two first cousins who independently started restoring the headstones at the cemetery, and representatives of the Exeter Public Cemetery District, the Alta Mira DOR Chapter, and the E Clampus Vitus Tulare County Chapter (Clampers). Kathy Arnold, California State Society DAR District 5 registrar, shared Hull’s life story. “We discovered Mary Hull listed in cemetery records for Deep Creek, where it was noted, ‘Widow Rev War,’” Arnold said. “ A little bit of research revealed much more. We found out who her husband was, which led to uncovering a newspaper article stating that our Alta Mira Chapter had placed a bronze marker here in 1927.” Arnold noted that among the guests at

Tulare Western beats San Luis Obispo to set up rematch vs Redwood

TULARE – The Tulare Western High football team is one win away from playing for a 2026 Central Section Division II championship. The No. 2 Mustangs defeated seventh-ranked San Luis Obispo 26-14 on Friday, Nov. 13, in a downpour at Bob Mathias Stadium. Tulare Western will now host No. 3 Redwood (10-2) on Nov. 20 in a semifinal playoff game. Down 14-10 to No. 6 Arroyo Grande in the fourth quarter, the Rangers rallied late behind quarterback Nash McElree's two rushing touchdowns at Mineral King Bowl. Tulare Western and Redwood are very familiar with one another. The Mustangs defeated the Rangers 34-28 on Oct. 9 during East Yosemite League play and have met in the regular season every year since 2016. Tulare Western, which won an outright EYL title this season, is seeking its first section championship in football. "It's nice because you always tell your kids, 'Work your tail off and good things will happen,'" Tulare Western head coach Derek Rosa said. "It's nice to see it come to fruition because that team [San Luis Obispo] works really hard too and we've been there on the opposite side. Until we win the last game that we get to play
