The Stockton City Council has voted to let members use the official city logo on personal statements — even if those views don’t reflect the city’s official position. The move comes as the public awaits an update on the long-delayed response to a civil grand jury report targeting the council.
Also in this edition: A mobile detailing company started in a garage is now the Stockton Chamber’s Small Business of the Year, street vendors push back against proposed rules and fees, and the undefeated Stockton Cargo SC women’s team logs a dominant win on the road. Plus, cherry growers are bracing for a tough harvest season.
Thanks for reading and staying connected to your community.
