Shafter Council Backs Half Cent Tax for Roads
Shafter City Council approved a 3-2 vote supporting a half-cent Kern County road tax to fund road improvements, high speed rail and trails. If enacted, $100,000 yearly would flow to cities for 20 years to leverage matching funds with Caltrans. Wasco McFarland Tehachapi also backed the measure amid California budget strains and past ballot defeats.

Shafter High School honors class and the Shafter Press feature veterans from the Persian Gulf War era. Gene Guenther recalls joining the Air Force on his 18th birthday after finishing high school, serving as a ball turret gunner on a B-24. He describes the tiny turret, lack of space for a parachute, and dual machine guns as crucial hazards while flying at high altitudes with oxygen at 12,000 feet.
