Here's today's Newsroundup!

San Bernardino City Finances In Trouble
The City of SB is considering raising taxes to help lower the deficit...Hmmm...

Supervisors Unite for Popular Incumbent
It appears that three SB County Supervisors have been helping out one of their colleagues re-election campaign.  Afterall, the current Board has been great at working together as a team.

Dems Plot to Win GOP Held Congressional Seats

Judge Halts Bikini Bar Plans
No need for a summary here- title says it all.  I say kudos to the judge for preventing any more sleezy businesses in this area.

UCR Scientists Have Rather Disturbing News Regarding Climate Change
Speaking of climate change and the environment, check out this article.  Arctic ice could be key to future...

Counties Prepare For Same-Sex Marriage
Not good news for us whom value traditional marriage.  However, when November rolls around- hopefully we can protect the sanctity of marriage.
