Each election season, the same question consistently arises: Why does it take California so long to certify election results?

It’s a fair question and one I deeply respect, because it shows our community’s engagement and desire for transparency. The short answer is that California’s commitment to accuracy, voter access, and election integrity requires a deliberate and legally defined process that extends well beyond Election Day.

To try and decide each week where and what to eat in and around the basin can be a challenge – there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that...
