Close to a year following the magnitude 6.4 earthquake that left some without a home in Rio Dell, the Humboldt County board of Supervisors heard a report from Habitat for Humanity on progress made for repairs. Supervisors noted concerns that public funding wasn’t reaching the people that need it the most to repair their homes.
Andy Titus said that it's important to note that without the emergency repairs, the fair wouldn't have been chosen for the horse racing host status the days, he said, would go to someone else.
Members of SEIU 2015, a union for caregivers, have been attending Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meetings regularly, holding signs and wearing purple t-shirts. Caregivers say they are getting more frustrated with the inaction of the board, with a union organizer saying contract negotiations have gone on for around a year.
