Sheriff Wins Opener in Budget Battle for Deputies
Sheriff Reno Bartolomie won a preliminary budget victory as the Board of Supervisors, by a 3-2 margin, approved three new deputy positions. Bartolomie wanted four deputies to cover Covelo Laytonville Fort Bragg and Point Arena to expand protection and avoid overburdening a single resident deputy. County Administrator Dwight Hulse opposed new hires arguing CHP patrols cover Highway 101. Bartolomie noted sheriff patrols non state roads and frequent CHP assist. Supervisor Harvey Sawyers pushed for four. Joe Hartley proposed three with one on the Coast, after Martin Wener charged the motion aimed to shape deputy placement. The board also approved one new radio dispatcher.

California Education Bill Advances Toward Enactment
