California’s top-two primary will make its statewide debut June 5, more than three years after it emerged from state budget deal-making.
No one is sure how the new system will play out, as candidates and interest groups try to feel their way around the state’s reshaped political landscape.

SAN BERNARDINO – The city is $3.8 million behind on its annual budget for this year and must cut that money by July 1.
The City Council held a workshop Tuesday to review the budget situation and directed its budget committee to review proposed cuts next week and present their recommendations at the April 16 meeting.

SAN BERNARDINO – The Inland Valley Development Agency’s leaders don’t know yet how much – if at all – their organization will be affected by the end of redevelopment in California, but they could lose roughly $20 million per year in certain property tax revenue if events do not go their way.
That money could be devoted to improvements at San Bernardino International Airport and its surrounding infrastructure, and at this point, it’s uncertain whether the IVDA will be able to continue to collect those dollars or if the money will go to state government.
