The Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District is in trouble for charging customers more than the cost to deliver, along with fraud, personal enrichment, and misappropriating public funds. That kind of news puts doubt in the minds of FPUD ratepayers as they are presented with higher and more unaffordable water bills next year, even after California had record-setting rain that threatened dams. There are unanswered questions: Have we looked at the salaries and benefits for managers and employees at FPUD? If so, where can the... Full story

Fallbrook has a large population of young working families, seniors and military families on fixed incomes and new people who have retired here. With that said, this will also affect every business in Fallbrook, from restaurants, beauty shops, small mom and pop stores who are already paying h... Full story
The $300 million contract awarded to a two-employee firm called Whitefish from Ryan Zinke's hometown does not pass the smell test. Zinke says he had nothing to do with it. I would believe the Winter Olympics are coming to Fallbrook before I would believe that load of crap. Jack Acomb...
