Hello, Stocktonia readers. We’re excited to kick off our fall crowdfunding campaign in today’s edition. Our goal is to raise $6,000 by Sept. 27.
We’re raising this money specifically to help support our coverage of county government and elections in this critical election year.
Will you help us by chipping in?
Good morning, Stockton.
Stockton reporter Shaylee Navarro wrote an enlightening piece on the Roos Family Health and Wellness Center, a new space at the Haven of Peace women’s shelter. It gives residents a private place to isolate when they are sick or need time away from the shelter’s communal living areas for other health reasons.
Chris Woodyard reports that San Joaquin County has a new top crop: Almonds have surpassed grapes and cherries and displaced milk as the county’s most valuable agricultural commodity.
Andrea Baltodano continues her thorough city government coverage with a story on the Stockton City Council’s Legislation and Environmental Committee, which agreed to fold ethics reforms into the city’s broader review of recommendations from two civil grand jury investigations.
