2. Citizens group criticizes Tulare amphitheater finances (ourvalleyvoice.com) — A Tulare citizens group is challenging how the city has funded concerts at the Adventist Health Amphitheater in Zumwalt Park, but key claims in its report conflict with public records from Rocklin and Florida. City Manager Marc Mondell defends his record, notes clean audits, and says amphitheater attendance and sponsorship efforts are improving even as a separate zoning lawsuit over industrial projects continues.
   

3. New state legislation exclusively for Tulare County (visaliatimesdelta.com) — Tulare County residents should know that a new state law now lets county supervisors remove and replace appointed trustees on local public cemetery boards, including the Tulare Public Cemetery District, for serious neglect or misconduct. Officials say this targeted legislation closes gaps exposed by past turmoil on the cemetery board and is meant to keep essential burial services stable and accountable.
   

4. Tulare council OKs study session on data centers (thesungazette.com) — Tulare residents will soon get a dedicated public workshop as the City Council has ordered staff to organize a study session explaining what data centers are, how they’re regulated, and their potential local impacts. The move follows public concern about a proposed data center at the Tulare County Fairgrounds and comes as two council seats are up for election, with both incumbents stepping aside.
   

5. Bakersfield football stays unbeaten after downing Tulare Union (bluewaterhealthyliving.com) — Tulare Union fell 49-27 to powerhouse Bakersfield at Bob Mathias Stadium, but still showed why it should contend in the East Yosemite League. Local standouts like sophomore back Osie Early and Fresno State commit Demaje Riley put up big numbers, giving Tulare fans reasons for optimism as the Tribe heads into a tough stretch of non-league and league play.
