This is my new boss. She's worked at Mono County Office of Education for 17 years, so I know her well. I think she'll do a good job, so I was happy with the appointment.

It's important to elect sane people to your local school board, and not insane culture-warriors, so please take a look at the interviews. These three candidates are entirely normal, and NOT the ones you need to look out for.

Jason interviews Karen Keehn and Steve Elia for school board. Both are former teachers IN the district, and are excellent candidates who volunteer throughout our community, and have for decades.

For city council, Dennis Freundt, co-owner of the Bishop Grocery Outlet store, and is another perfectly sane candidate. I hope you hear what they have to say, and vote for sanity, and not some crazy idiot pushing conspiracies or culture-warrior BS.

She represents Inyo and Mono counties in the state legislature, and the incident reportedly happened while visiting Inyo county.

Another near tragedy. Glad this one worked out for the hiker.

Pretty sad story - please be careful on 395...
