California Native Tribes Lead Effort to Restore Eel River to Free-Flowing State

California Native Tribes Lead Effort to Restore Eel River to Free-Flowing State

California native tribes are spearheading a five-year effort to restore the Eel River, aiming to make it one of the longest free-flowing rivers in the United States. This initiative involves the removal of the Cape Horn and Scott dams, which were constructed in the 1900s and significantly impacted the river's ecosystem and the tribes' ability to sustain themselves through fishing. The Eel River, spanning five counties and approximately 200 miles, is a sacred resource for the Wiyot Tribe and holds deep cultural connections to its fisheries. The decision to remove the dams gained momentum after utility giant PG&E, which owned and operated the Potter Valley Project (including the two dams), discovered that a century-old power generation system required an expensive fix, estimated at up to $15 million. Given that the system only generated enough electricity for about 750 homes, PG&E sought to divest from it. With no interested buyers for the costly hydroelectric system, PG&E submitted an application to the fed...

Californians Prioritize Concerns Over Trump Administration's Election Interference Above Voter Fraud, Poll Reveals

Californians Prioritize Concerns Over Trump Administration's Election Interference Above Voter Fraud, Poll Reveals

A recent poll conducted by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, co-sponsored by The Times, indicates that 61% of California voters view potential interference by the Trump administration in the upcoming November elections as a major concern. This figure slightly surpasses the 59% who cited possible foreign interference as a significant worry. In contrast, 41% of California voters identified voter fraud and 37% identified noncitizens voting as major concerns. The poll highlights a stark partisan divide, with 80% of Democratic respondents expressing concern about federal interference, compared to just 28% of Republicans. Conversely, 84% of Republican voters considered voter fraud a major concern, while only 21% of Democrats shared this view. The White House has dismissed these concerns, accusing Democrats of obstructing efforts to protect elections from fraud, including through the proposed SAVE America Act, which would mandate strict new ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements for voters nati...

Invasive Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes Detected Across Expanded Area of Brentwood, California

Invasive Aedes Aegypti Mosquitoes Detected Across Expanded Area of Brentwood, California

The Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District (District) has confirmed the detection of invasive Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in multiple areas of Brentwood, California. This indicates a wider presence of these mosquitoes in the city than previously known. The initial detection occurred in response to a resident's request for mosquito service, with subsequent trapping revealing their presence in other parts of Brentwood. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are known to bite primarily during the daytime and are capable of transmitting viruses such as Zika, dengue fever, chikungunya, and yellow fever. In response to this expanded detection, the District plans to implement truck-mounted larval mosquito control in affected areas of Brentwood within the coming week. The objective of this treatment is to reduce the population of immature mosquitoes before they mature into biting adult females. Residents are urged to report any daytime biting mosquitoes to the District and to take proactive measures to eliminate standin...

Ripon High School Retains 'Indian' Mascot Amidst State Push for Change

Ripon High School Retains 'Indian' Mascot Amidst State Push for Change

Ripon High School in California has decided to retain its 'Indian' mascot, despite a statewide initiative encouraging schools to discontinue the use of Native American mascots. This decision places Ripon High in contrast with many other educational institutions across the state that have opted to change their mascots in response to concerns about cultural sensitivity and representation. The school's choice reflects a local determination to maintain its long-standing tradition, even as broader societal and governmental pressures advocate for the removal of such imagery from public schools.

California State Senate Advances Bill Requiring Corporations to Disclose Slavery Ties

California State Senate Advances Bill Requiring Corporations to Disclose Slavery Ties

The California state Senate is currently considering Assembly Bill 2599, known as the Truth in Disclosure Act, which has already passed the state Assembly. This bill, introduced by Democratic Assemblymember Isaac Bryan, mandates that major corporations operating in California with annual worldwide gross receipts exceeding $100 million must review their historical records. They would then be required to submit affidavits disclosing any past financial or historical ties to chattel slavery. The bill specifically targets industries historically linked to the antebellum economy, such as insurance, banking, tobacco, cotton, sugar, railroads, and shipping. If enacted, California would become the first state to compel private corporations to report under oath their connections to chattel slavery, with the California Civil Rights Department tasked to create a digital public platform for these disclosures by January 3, 2028.
