As most people know, I have been a member of the fiscally conservative, moderate Blue Dog Coalition since the valley first sent me to Congress in 2002. With 52 members, we have fought tirelessly to rein in reckless federal spending and put an end to our spiraling deficit.

ATWATER -- Several activist groups calling for the resignation of repentant Atwater City Councilman Gary Frago -- who sent racist e-mails to city and county officials -- plan to picket Monday's City Council meeting in condemnation of his actions.

Liability?

I agree with the general point of today's Sun-Star editorial: the Delta levees certainly need to be fixed as quickly as possible.

Comment cards a source of contention at City Council
New system for public comment not winning everyone over...SCOTT JASON

Nunes, the tragic hero

You have to hand it to Rep. Devin Nunes, Tragic Hero-Visalia, he’s a performer. In fact, you have to stand in line to hand it to him, behind national PACs, agribusiness and oil and gas to hand it to him. He’s raised nearly a million dollars for his campaign next year and if some strong Democrat contender lurks in Nunes’ district, that contender lurks below the surface so far.
