In theory, we humans practice politics as a pathway to governance – providing an array of laws, regulations and services to protect and otherwise enhance the lives of the governed. In practice, politics often – too often – become all-consuming exercises that bear only the faintest relationship to governance. Case in point: the U.S. Congress. An aspect of that disconnect is the eagerness of those in office to build their images by constantly offering up proposals for new laws, services and programs while ignoring whether earlier laws, services and programs that officialdom birthed are performing as promised. Often they are not, but even when informed about the shortcomings of design and/or implementation, officials tend to minimize or brush aside the criticism, fearing that acknowledgement would be a sign of weakness. Management and oversight just don’t have the political sex appeal of some shiny new notion that promises boundless benefits. Examples of the syndrome abound, particularly in a state as large and diverse as California. The state’s bullet train project is certainly one. Billions of dollars have been consumed and various structures have been built but the project

(KFSN) — More than 100 people filled Eaton Plaza in downtown Fresno Monday night to pray for peace. The group is thankful for the temporary humanitarian pauses but is calling for a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. “What’s going to happen?

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Citrus season is now in full swing in the Central Valley. The smell of sweet oranges hits you as soon as you enter Kings River Packing in Sanger. The fruit moves quickly along the line, so it can be bagged under the Poppies label or a private label. Sales Manager Jesse Silva says 22 million boxes of citrus will be packed this year. This fruit is headed to local stores as well as retailers around the US, Canada and Mexico. “Demand has been off the charts. We’ve been seeing high demand for our mandarin varieties and also for the navels,” explained Silva. Sensors inside the packing house quickly grade fruit, which zips past. The citrus is even scanned for brix levels, showing how much sugar is in the fruit. “It can actually, through light detection that goes the fruit, we can actually sort fruit by sugar and by acid ratio,” Silva said. “That whole process is grading the size and quality of the fruit. We actually have over 20 different pictures of one piece of fruit.” The trees in the
