Relocating the Yuma County Fairgrounds remains the top priority for the county, although plans on how to pay for it have shifted.
The Board of Supervisors recently updated the Yuma County Five-Year Economic Development Plan, which lists priorities and objectives for the calendar years 2020 through 2024.
The supervisors initially adopted the plan in March with the understanding that the objectives would need to be changed based on evolving economic circumstances. The newly amended and adopted resolution notes that the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors have impacted the implementation of the plan and the objectives needed to be adjusted accordingly.
The plan implementation strategies will be reviewed annually to reflect the changing economy.

In 1969, during the winter off-season in Texas, he accompanied his parents to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin to work at the Green Giant canning factory. It was there, that at the age of 16, he met the love of his life, Suzanne. After the canning factory closed for the season, they parted ways and reunited in 1972.

This past Saturday they held a vote for a new president of the powerful Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). The choice was between three candidates: current president, police Sgt. Tommy Reyes, considered a calming voice during the George Floyd protests; Lt. Ramon Carr, vice president of the cityâs Black police union; and Javier Ortiz, a controversial past president currently on indefinite paid suspension after a lengthy string of insulting racist comments and social media posts.

A Dec. 3 Miami Herald report quoted University of Miami law professor and âethics expertâ Tony Alfieri as saying itâs âprogressâ that such a diverse group is vying for the top union job, regardless of the winner. I hardly think so.
