The current fears being expressed by delegates, along with heightened security, is bringing an air of foreboding to the four-day event, which opened Monday, July 15th. Chris Krohn was on the ground and inside the security zone enshrouding the Fiserv Forum, the venue where Trump accepted the nomination for President. Monday’s events included a protest by the “Coalition to March on the DNC.” Coalition spokesperson, Omar Flores said, that “protesters will march where they want to march,” possibly setting up a confrontation with the hundreds of local, state, and federal police.

BRADLEY — County of Monterey Parks and Lakes Division, Environmental Health Bureau and Water Resources Agency staff reported Monday that data and testing results from water samples taken in the wake of a massive fish die-off at Lake San Antonio were “inconclusive,” but that a possible cause of the incident could be due to a natural algae phenomenon spurred on by high heat, which lowered the dissolved oxygen concentrations causing the fish to suffocate.
