Raman’s District Wins While City Loses | Bakersfield News

Councilmember Nithya Raman is touting a nearly 50% drop in street homelessness in her district as evidence her hands-on strategy works — even as citywide numbers show an 8% rise in street homelessness and a 3.4% uptick in overall homelessness. Running against Mayor Karen Bass, Raman credits her team’s personal connections with unhoused individuals and aggressive shelter placement, while Bass’s campaign counters that Raman is unfairly taking credit for the mayor’s “Inside Safe” program — which Raman herself has criticized. Raman insists her district’s success is due to local execution, not the mayor’s initiatives, and argues that while council can pass laws, the mayor controls implementation. Bass blames state and federal funding cuts and inadequate county mental health services for the citywide increases, standing by her commitment to ending street homelessness.

Cyclospora Outbreak Spreads Across States | Bakersfield News

A major cyclospora outbreak is spreading across 12 states, with over 1,900 confirmed cases and nearly 100 hospitalizations—no deaths yet. Initially tied to Taco Bell, the parasite is now linked to shredded lettuce from Taylor Farms, recalled after contamination from central Mexico. The parasite, spread through contaminated water during washing or irrigation, causes severe diarrhea. A twist? Mexican officials tested samples from the plant and found nothing. Meanwhile, the CDC tracks over 4,000 confirmed cases and 7,000 potential ones across 41 states, suggesting this isn’t just one source. Stay alert—this foodborne outbreak is still unfolding.

Tariffs, Laws, and Legal Limits | Bakersfield News

Trump’s new forced labor tariffs face legal fire — a lawsuit claims the White House overstepped its authority, echoing a past defeat for the same group.
