GOP Sheriff Chad Bianco's wife starts nonprofit after dire night for Republicans

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco’s wife is launching a new 501(c)(4) nonprofit to energize statewide conservatives as California Republicans cast blame and jockey for leadership in the wake of a national and statewide blue wave election. Denise Bianco, who has never held office but who helped fundraise through merchandise sales during her husband’s gubernatorial campaign, will serve as president of the California Action Network. “Legally speaking,” the sheriff will have no role in the new organization, according to the group’s chief operating officer, Jack Belgrade. Still, the sheriff is set to appear at an upcoming event focused on the nonprofit. It will aim to build on the enthusiasm of grassroots supporters who backed Bianco during his fourth-place finish in the June primary, according to the group’s vice president, Joy Miedecke. “The name ‘Bianco’ is very important in this because people have faith in him,” she said in an interview. Belgrade said the group will use some strategies popularized by progressives — including third-party ballot collection and a strategy called relational organizing — to mobilize California conservatives. That includes a new app set to launch in January in which conservative voters can nudge people in their contact lists to vote through

Yucaipa acquires land after $4.5 million loan defaults

Yucaipa acquired approximately 80 acres of vacant land off Oak Glen Road through foreclosure in October after a $4.5 million loan to Koy Builders Inc. went into default. It left questions about the original lending terms, the property’s value and the financial implications for taxpayers. Michael Kooyman, owner of Koy Builders, and the property, died by suicide. Records reviewed for this story do not establish a connection between his death and the loan. The city council approved the loan in December 2023, under a different city manager (Chris Mann) and council (Justin Beaver, Chris Venable, Jon Thorp, Matt Garner and Bobby Duncan), agreeing to lend Koy Builders $4.5 million at a fixed annual interest rate of 7%. The loan was secured by a deed of trust on the property, and the city also obtained an option to purchase it for $5.475 million. According to trustee’s sale records, the property was sold to the city for $5,087,014 at a public auction Oct. 8 at the San Bernardino County courthouse. The sale followed a notice of default signed June 1, 2026, which stated that $413,784 was owed as of May 1 and that the amount would increase until the account became current.

Remembering Ysmael Villegas, Riverside County’s First Medal of Honor Recipient

This Veterans Day, let’s remember Riverside County’s first Medal of Honor recipient, Ysmael Villegas. Staff Sgt. Villegas showed extraordinary courage during the Battle of Luzon in the Philippines, a crucial battle in the Pacific theater of World War II. On March 20, 1945, Villegas took out a series of Japanese entrenchments in the midst of a firefight on the Villa Verde Trail, a key route through the Caraballo Mountains, a range which helped the occupying Japanese maintain control over the island. Villegas died that day while storming the sixth and final Japanese stronghold. His compatriots rallied to overcome the Japanese forces that day and would soon take control of Luzon. Later that year, President Harry Truman awarded Villegas the Medal of Honor posthumously.
