(Remember when he sued to stop Simplicity Village, ensuring that 60+ elderly people would remain on the streets for the past 3 years? Or when he tried to extort a a $110k reward for it from the city? [*he might have gotten that $110k, city hasn't made it public] And now he complains about the number of homeless people? Yeah, that's the guy)…

We issued a warning back in May about Rob Berry’s latest scheme to line his pockets, the hilariously misnomered “Chico Stewards for Parks and Waterways.”

As expected, it has begun. Rob partnered with the Redding law firm he previously used to help him harass the city and local service providers with frivolous lawsuits to send a series of threats to the council.

The rambling, often silly, hysteria-filled 13-page attack presents a plethora of misinformation, much of it wildly, egregiously misleading. We may discuss other parts of the letter later, but today our focus is on the portion calling for the closure of the Sycamore Pool.

A new nonprofit Point of Contact has generated some local controversy despite winning approval from Butte County, and a short-term, no-bid contract…

It's Solutions Month, and we would be remiss if we didn't address organizations with troubling practices and highlight alternatives. There are a couple of troubling groups in Chico fundraising for purported “solutions” to environmental problems and homelessness that are extremely problematic.

During the Chico City Council closed session meeting Monday night to discuss the homeless evictions lawsuit against the city, a decision was made to create an Ad Hoc Committee and invite groups of stakeholders to give input and look at potential solutions.

Our local newspapers and journalists are under attack. Local right-wingers, taking a page from trumps playbook, attacking journalists and the print media on a regular basis - see pics for a few recent examples. Things not going your way? Reporters provide facts that don’t agree with your narrative? “They’re biased!!”

It’s also disturbing to see Natalie Hanson-Ross singled out for their ire…

Some good news!

The court has granted an emergency restraining order against the City of Chico, preventing them from clearing Comanche Creek of campers for now.
