Coalinga

Coalinga City Manager Marissa Trejo has been appointed to the same position in Lemoore. She was hired in a unanimous vote by the city council on July 2.

Coalinga is quickly running out of water. The Central Valley community is projected to deplete its supply by Dec. 1 at the latest.

In November 2016, a group of felons at the Coalinga State Hospital helped tilt the outcome of a campaign to increase the city’s sales tax. Now, the city is suing to void the results of the election, which resulted in the termination of dozens of city employees.
