About 60% of The Sacramento Bee’s reporters and photojournalists are white. But if you look at the pool of local reporters whose wages are so low they qualify for low-income housing, the ratio is flipped: 63% are people of color. Management offered a deal that would leave most of them low-income.

McClatchy wants you to invest in a Sacramento Bee subscription, but the company doesn’t want to invest in its reporters. Under management’s latest offer, seven local journalists would still make salaries low enough to qualify them for low-income housing.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said concurrent elections this November would bring down the cost of a possible statewide special election for redistricting. Those local elections are tiny, and won't make a difference, counties say. www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

Newsom brushed off the price of a special election. Experts say it’ll cost $200M
Fifteen of the state’s 58 counties have some form of election scheduled for Nov. 4, but the majority are for small races with few voters
