The state’s Fair Political Practices Commission is poised to close its file on San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry, who in July pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of failing to report a $5,000 campaign contribution.
The Commission is scheduled to consider the action at its Thursday board meeting.

Three factors – California redistricting, incumbent retirement, and the new open-primary ballot – are making the 2012 elections in the Inland Empire much more dynamic and unpredictable than in the past, political experts said.

With the local 2012 election season now in full swing, candidate fields are finally firming up in what look to be some hotly contested races — especially for those seeking the posts of San Bernardino County 1st District supervisor and House representative for the newly drawn 8th District.
But there’s still time for late newcomers to throw their hats in the ring: The filing deadline for the most local races has been extended to Wednesday because incumbents are not seeking re-election.
