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

Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid! Some of them were over 10+ checks probably more! Some servers are owed over 10k in tips,” the caption says. The

Sacramento's Railyards is building momentum. New housing may have to wait until 2028

Even though a hospital, concert venue and soccer stadium are coming to Sacramento’s Railyards, the district may not see new residential construction for several years. There are two apartment complexes there now — Wong Center and The A.J. Apartments — but one of the district’s lead developers said recently that he believes the Railyards and other parts of Sacramento’s core may not see home building speed up again until around 2028. “We’re just not in a place where rents and the market are supportive of new development,” said Denton Kelley, CEO of LDK Ventures, the master developer of the Railyards district. “...It will probably take until about ’28 before we start seeing new residential projects in the Railyards and, probably, within midtown and downtown.” The suburbs have seen more solid job growth, especially along the Highway 50 corridor where Folsom and Rancho Cordova are located. Kelley said cited recent investments in those areas by firms like Solidigm and Micron . That area will probably outperform the rest of the market for the next three to five years, Kelley said. The Railyards will compete with those cities’ “lifestyle centers” like the Palladio shopping center in Folsom or the Fountains in Roseville.

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
