In three of the county’s municipalities this election season – Hesperia, Highland and Yucca Valley – there will be no council contests at all, as no challengers of the incumbents now serving there emerged.
In two of the county’s cities – Needles and Yucaipa – none of the incumbents due to stand for reelection in November are vying in the council elections.
In seven of the county’s municipalities – Apple Valley, Chino Hills, Colton, Grand Terrace, Redlands, Twentynine Palms and Upland – at least one incumbent will face no opposition this year.
In two cities – Barstow and Chino – an incumbent in one of those cities’ races is not competing.
In Hesperia, District 3 Councilman Cameron Gregg and incumbent District 4 Councilwoman Brigit Benington were given free rides when no one filed to run against them. In Hesperia’s District 2, the current term of Councilman Bill Holland is due to elapse in December. He did not seek reelection, because he could not; as a result of the city’s redistricting in 2021, the borders of District 2 were moved such that he is no longer a District 2 resident. No candidates came forward to run in the election for District 2 and the city council has chosen Allison Lee from among seven applicants to fill the post until 2026. Continue reading →

Chino Hills civic leaders this week took a giant step backwards from their previous intrepid position at the cutting edge of a statewide uprising in resistance to the mandates handed down from on high in Sacramento, orders which require that they and the residents they represent, like all other officials and citizens in the individual confines of the Golden State’s various municipal jurisdictions, accommodate further and more densely packed residential development in their city of 82,213.
By the end of a special meeting held on Tuesday, August 16, the council agreed, rather reluctantly, to send a signal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development that the city will go along with allowing the development industry to construct 3,720 residential units within the 44.7-square mile city over the next eight years.
Nevertheless, what was put on display for both the local population and that of the entirety of the State of California is the inadvisability, indeed what some have come to perceive as the absurdity, of allowing Sacramento to dictate land use policy throughout the 163,696-square mile state.

Intrigues known and unknown and the planned and unplanned events relating to the seamy underbelly of governance in San Bernardino County involving deals that are cut to benefit insiders and members of the region’s political establishment loomed into public focus this week as the board of supervisors prepared to take calculated and belated action in the aftermath of Assessor Bob Dutton’s death last month.
At stake in what the board of supervisors is to do are tens of millions of dollars’ worth of their political supporters’ capital and assets in the short term, hundreds of millions of their political donors’ dollars in the midterm and more than a billion dollars’ worth of land, buildings, equipment, investments and holdings controlled by their political benefactors in the long term.
On display for those quick-eyed and discerning enough to see it is the degree to which supervisors Curt Hagman, Paul Cook, Dawn Rowe and Janice Rutherford – the controlling majority of the board – have used in the past and are looking forward toward continuing to utilize their political ties to the assessor to fatten their electioneering accounts along with how feckless and overmatched Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. is in preventing that from occurring.
