California Senate Bill 417 would require law enforcement officials to cooperate with federal immigration officials by detaining an individual on the basis of an immigration hold, with certain limitations, when that person has been convicted of a serious or violent felony.

The Greatest Story Ever Told, Almost
This is a bit lengthy, but worth it… Let’s start with the biggest, and perhaps least exciting, races for the county (state races to follow tomorrow). In the 50th Dem Primary Francine Busby was selected as the Democrat nominee to lose to Brian Bilbray once more. I don’t think Busby was celebrating her victory, I searched for police reports and …
Jeff Stone for State Senate Campaign Confirms: Joel Anderson is the greatest freshman Republican from San Diego, ever.

Jeff Stone Ignores Race for Humanity Issues
As a follow-up to Marion Ashley’s guest commentary, I am happy that the Riverside chairman of the Board of Supervisors is so passionate about helping organizations in the community.

Jeff Stone’s Race for Humanity – Part Two

I asked him if there was …
