📰 News we're reading

• Desalination plants cost millions of dollars. Should SLO County build one? (sanluisobispo.com) — Arroyo Grande could one day receive desalinated water from a major South County plant or a Nipomo Mesa facility now under study by San Luis Obispo County. Supervisors reviewed a $1.2 million feasibility report outlining multi-hundred-million-dollar projects that might bolster Arroyo Grande's long‑term water reliability, though no agencies have yet committed to building and the process would take decades.
   

• Former candidate's civil rights lawsuit against clerk-recorder, SLO County dismissed (sanluisobispo.com) — An Arroyo Grande mayoral candidate's federal civil rights lawsuit against San Luis Obispo County and its clerk-recorder has been dismissed, though she has 30 days to refile an amended complaint. The case stems from an election-fraud investigation disclosed during her Arroyo Grande mayoral run and ties into multiple other lawsuits and criminal charges that could affect local election administration and trust.
   

• Post-Summer Update to Class of 2029 Rankings (prepbaseballreport.com) — An Arroyo Grande High School shortstop, Brock Paz, has climbed to No. 53 in Prep Baseball California's updated Class of 2029 rankings after a strong varsity season and standout summer with Trosky National. The statewide report praises his smooth left-handed swing, all-fields approach, and potential to stay at shortstop as he gets stronger, putting Arroyo Grande firmly on college recruiters' radar.
