Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Wanted murder suspect believed to be in West Sacramento area, Merced County sheriff says (abc10.com) — Law enforcement says a 21-year-old man from Sacramento, wanted in a deadly shooting at the Los Banos Fairgrounds, may now be in the West Sacramento area and should be considered armed and dangerous. Residents are urged not to approach him and to call 911 or the Merced County Sheriff's Office if they see anything suspicious.
2. Sacramento's Airports (comstocksmag.com) — Sacramento's airport system is being shaped by women leaders focused on safety, sustainability, and better service for local travelers. From long-term planning and environmental stewardship to capital projects and landscaping, they describe how Sacramento International and its sister airports will expand routes, conserve resources, and keep facilities attractive and safe for residents and visitors.
3. Sacramento's top stories today: Rice recall, casino hiring and more (sacbee.com) — Sacramento-area residents should know about a major rice recall affecting Lundberg organic jasmine rice sold in California, plus a big hiring push at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in nearby Lincoln. The roundup also highlights a $16.9 million conservation purchase of AP Ranch in Siskiyou County, expanding protected habitat and open space important to the state.
4. Classic Car Owners Could Soon Receive Long-Sought Relief as Senator Cortese's SB 1392 Advances to the Governor's Desk (ca.gov) — From the Capitol in Sacramento, lawmakers have sent "Jay Leno's Law" to the governor, potentially easing smog-check rules for certain well‑maintained classic cars from 1976–1985. If signed, the bill would exempt parade and show vehicles from regular testing while supporters argue it preserves automotive heritage without significantly increasing emissions.
5. After Two Years of Negotiations, Legislature Sends Landmark Childhood Sexual Assault Reform to Governor (ca.gov) — Lawmakers meeting in Sacramento have approved SB 577, a statewide reform aimed at improving justice and protections for survivors of childhood sexual assault. The bill strengthens oversight of public agencies, boosts prevention and training requirements, and gives local governments tools to manage liability while keeping survivors' access to claims intact as it heads to the governor's desk.
