Fresno City Councilmember Garry Bredefeld held a press conference to address Friday's ruling by the Fresno County Superior Court ending the Fresno County Board of Supervisor's corrupt “Incumbent Protection Scheme” that was designed to protect them from challenges to unseat them. This scheme was ruled unconstitutional and a violation of Freedom of Speech and the First Amendment. Bredefeld has much more to say about the Board of Supervisors corruption, their misuse and waste of taxpayer money to fund this scheme, and the tremendous harm this would've caused to constituents had this scheme been successful. Laphonza Butler has apparently removed her “Maryland” residence from her X account as well as her professional biography after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appointed her to the U.S. Senate seat in California, which was vacated on September 29 upon the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
