Don't fix what isn't broken

June elections are once again upon us in Mariposa County. More...

Waiting to be counted

It’s census time and we’ve been watching our mailbox for weeks for our census form. Imagine our surprise when we get home from work one day and find a note from a census worker. He came by to fill out the census form for us. More...
