Supervisor Chris Kelstrom’s statement was not just misleading — it was a deliberate and cynical attempt to shift blame onto the very citizens and voters he is supposed to represent. Kelstrom whined that this is the “fifth lawsuit” and that proponents keep wanting taxpayers to fund their defense. What he deliberately omitted is that the Board and County Counsel Joseph Larmour started this legal war — and their original justification has now been completely exposed as false.

In a stunning display of political opportunism, Democratic leaders in Los Angeles are openly pushing to dismantle one of the core principles of American self-government: the idea that voting is a right reserved for citizens. A Los Angeles City Councilmember, Hugo Soto-Martínez, has introduced a motion to amend the city charter to allow the council to expand voting rights in local elections—including for mayor and City Council—to non-citizens. This isn't some fringe proposal h

Judge Benjamin L. Hanna Dismisses Lawsuit – Measure B Will Remain on June 2, 2026 Ballot REDDING, Calif. – March 26, 2026 – In his written ruling issued today, Judge Hanna found that Katske’s petition failed to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action and that pre-election judicial review of a qualified initiative is not appropriate.
