Sacramento restaurant closed over rodent droppings. What else did inspectors find?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a Japanese fusion restaurant after finding about 20 rodent droppings throughout the facility. Additionally, 12 restaurants were cited for unattended raw chicken, gunk found on a can opener and a missing food safety certificate. 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 .

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

Woman dies from flu in Sacramento County, first death of 2026-27 season

Public health officials on Wednesday announced a woman died from complications related to influenza, making it Sacramento County’s first flu-related death of the 2026-27 season. The woman who died was in her 50s with underlying chronic medical conditions who was not vaccinated against the flu, according to a news release from the Sacramento County Public Health. Officials said the woman developed respiratory symptoms in mid-October and was diagnosed with influenza A. She was hospitalized a few days later and died shortly after. “This is a stark reminder that the flu can cause serious illness and even death, but vaccination remains our best defense,” county Public Health Officer Dr. Phuong Luu said in the news release. “Everyone aged 6 months and older should get vaccinated for influenza now, especially with flu circulating very high in California currently.” Health officials said the county’s first flu-related death this season comes about a month earlier than last year, a death that was reported in late November 2025. They encouraged all residents to protect themselves by getting vaccinated this fall. Vaccines are key in preventing and protecting against respiratory viruses including flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), health officials said. Sacramento County Public Health

Sacramento woman ‘mortified' by voting charge as feds arrest dozens ahead of election

Meryll Quirong Costi was mortified, her lawyer said, as she sat in federal court with her legs shackled together, wearing orange pants and a white T-shirt emblazoned with the word “Prisoner” across the back. A lawful permanent resident of the United States but not a citizen, Costi was among 12 people in California arrested or charged by federal authorities on Monday with allegedly registering to vote or voting as a noncitizen, misdemeanor offenses punishable by up to one year in prison. The arrests and charges, among 63 announced by federal prosecutors nationwide, came just a day before pivotal midterm elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Last month, federal authorities arrested or charged 28 lawful permanent residents in California with similar misdemeanors. Several were also charged with immigration violations, including felonies. Separately, San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow filed charges of voter registration fraud, fraudulent voting and perjury against a man and said he was considering similar charges against 16 others. The timing of the prosecutions — one day before the midterm elections — raises questions, said Costi’s attorney, Kyle Knapp. “I understand what the allegations are against my client, but both

The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints. Among the VIP’s circulating in West Sacramento were Becerra team members, including campaign hands Robbie Abelon, Kyle Layman and Lindsey Cobia — an erstwhile top Gavin Newsom deputy — and unofficial counselors like Arsenio Mataka, a former aide from Becerra’s attorney general days who focused on environmental issues. As we’ve noted elsewhere , Becerra’s sphere also includes adviser Courtni Pugh, longtime aide Liz Saldivar, veteran politico Karen Skelton, and policy adviser Nicole Elliott (another Newsom alum). Some of Sacramento’s most powerful interest groups did not endorse Becerra until it was evident he’d prevail. That made his early

Vang says California's 7th District race is ‘still early' as Matsui retains lead

Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, has taken the early lead over Sacramento Councilmember Mai Vang for the Sacramento region’s 7th Congressional District seat. As of 10:39 p.m., Matsui had 58.2% of the vote while Vang had 41.8%. About 38% of the district’s expected votes have been counted, according to the Associated Press. Matsui led by slightly less than 10 percentage points in Sacramento County , nearly 29 points in El Dorado County and more than 32 points in San Joaquin County, according to those counted as of 10:30 p.m. The results offer the first glimpse into how voters feel about the contentious, intra-party and generational battle for 7th District, which includes Sacramento’s downtown core and stretches from Lodi to parts of El Dorado County. Political experts have estimated that it may take weeks before a winner is determined. Ahead of the polls closing, Matsui arrived at the Sellands Cafe and Bar on Broadway for her election night party. She said she felt confidence, saying she had campaigned across the district including the newer areas such as Lodi and Placerville. “This race itself tested me in a way that I felt was really good, and I really felt good about where we
