š° News we're reading
⢠Fresno County Board of Supervisors votes on ordinance to toughen penalties involving homes for sex offenders (yourcentralvalley.com) ā Old Fig Garden neighbors may soon see stricter oversight of nearby group homes after Fresno County supervisors advanced an ordinance boosting fines and possible jail time for operators who exceed legal occupancy, including for sex offenders. Prompted by complaints and heavy call volumes at two Gettysburg Avenue homes in Old Fig Garden, the measure is set for final approval in January and could take effect about a month later.
