Oroville campground 2021 murder remains unsolved with $50,000 reward
( — There is still a $50,000 reward remaining active in the 2021 Oroville campground murder in Butte County as the crew continues to search for the suspect. According to the Butte County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to the Bidwell Canyon Campground to help California State Parks Peace Officers with a homicide investigation on July 3, 2021. BCSO said that detectives responded and determined that during a group camping trip, Tyler Dickson, 21, of San Pablo, was fatally shot while sleeping inside a tent. Over the past years, crews have been actively investigating the case; however, it has remained unsolved. During the investigation, officials said that they have requested Gov. Gavin Newsom's Office to issue a reward through the Governor's Reward Program to encourage those with pertinent information to come forward. Meet Toast: Placer County DA welcomes its first court support dog to the team In 2022, after crews had reviewed their evidence, the governor's office issued a $50,000 reward for information that would lead to an arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the murder of Dickson. 'As I've stated before, our investigation leads us to believe that the person(s) responsible for Tyler's death were part of a large group of people he was camping with, all of whom were from out of the area. Based on our investigation, we know there are members of this camping group with information that could lead to us being able to solve this case, but thus far, they have been less than cooperative. Despite the passage of time, we remain committed to solving this case and delivering justice for Tyler and his family,' said Sheriff Kory Honea. BCSO crews encourage anyone with any information to contact Detective Mike Worch at 530-538-7671. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Madre Fire burning over 70,000 acres in California, largest in the state this year
A wildfire broke out in California and has rapidly spread to burn more than 70,800 acres, making it the largest in the state this year, according to state fire officials. It's 10% contained as of Friday afternoon, Cal Fire said. The fire began Wednesday in the Los Padres National Forest, federally managed land area in Central California, and has prompted evacuation orders, warnings and highway closures in residential San Luis Obispo County about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Kern County is also experiencing various levels of evacuations. "As we approach the holiday weekend, the Madre Fire, the largest of 2025, is a stark reminder of potential dangers," the U.S. Forest Service said in a statement. California Interagency Incident Management Team 8 will assume command of the fire at 7:00 p.m., July 4, officials said. Earlier this year the Palisades and Eaton fires killed 30 people and burned 23,707 acres and 14,021 acres. The fires destroyed more than 12,000 structures and forced around 200,000 residents to evacuate the Los Angeles area. The Madre fire in California rapidly spread to 52,500 acres, officials said. Bureau Of Land Management Cal Fire has deployed air crews and ground resources to assist the Forest Service, as it is spreading off federal land and "now moving toward state areas," according to Governor Newsom's office. The state is "operating in Unified Command with our federal and local partners to protect lives, property, and communities," Newsom's office added. "With the current weather, terrain, and fuels conditions this fire has seen exponential growth in less than 24 hours," the U.S. Forest Service said in a statement Thursday when the fire grew to more than 35,000 acres.

50+ Environmental and Public Interest Groups Oppose CA Oil Refiner Bailout, Urge State to Stand Strong on Accountability, Says Consumer Watchdog
SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the California Energy Commission (CEC) proposed a list of oil refinery strategies to Governor Newsom, including key regulatory rollbacks, 51 public interest and environmental groups are urging the state to stand strong on refinery accountability and consumer protection in a letter to Governor Newsom, Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. Among the rollbacks proposed are a pause on developing the price gouging penalty rule enacted by the legislature in 2023 and increased oil well permitting in Kern County. The groups pointed to new state data showing oil refiners making a killing off California consumers – with a combined gross refining margin and distribution margin of $1.71 in April, twice the national and historical averages. "California oil refiners do not need a bailout. New data posted by the California Energy Commission shows oil refiners made a retail gross refining profit margin of $1.02 per gallon in April," the groups wrote in the letter. "In addition, the data shows that the distribution margin, which includes the Mystery Gasoline Surcharge, was .69 cents per gallon in April. Combined these extraordinary profit and overhead costs add more to a gallon of gasoline than the cost of crude oil, as CEC created graphic below shows." "California's oil refining and distribution sector are charging Californians more than double what they take in elsewhere. It would be perverse to give this industry more subsidies." The groups include: Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments Biofuelwatch California Nurses for Environmental Health and Justice Center for Biological Diversity Center for Environmental Health CERBAT Clean Water Action Climate Hawks Vote Climate Health Now Climate Reality Project Orange County Chapter Climate Reality Project, San Fernando Valley Chapter Consumer Watchdog ContraCosta MoveOn Courage California Elected Officials to Protect America Climate Justice Action, First UU of SD Food & Water Watch Friends Committee on Legislation of California Glendale Environmental Coalition Greenpeace Indivisible Marin Local Clean Energy Alliance Long Beach Alliance for Clean Energy Ocean Conservations Research Oil and Gas Action Network Pacifica Climate Committee Pelican Media PowerCA Action Resource Renewal Institute Rise Economy Rodeo Citizens Association RootsAction San Francisco Bay Physicians for Social Responsibility SanDiego350 Santa Cruz Climate Action Network SEE (Social Eco Education) Sierra Club California Sunflower Alliance Sustainable Mill The Climate Reality Project San Diego Transition Sebastopol Voting 4 Climate & Health West Berkeley Alliance for Clean Air and Safe Jobs Working Families Party 350 Bay Area Action 350 Humboldt 350 Sacramento 350 Santa Barbara "We urge you, instead, to insist that the Administration finish the job it started and that the legislature directed it to do in special sessions in 2023 and 2024: propound rules for a price gouging penalty, finalize and enforce the ABX2-1 re-supply inventory rule and begin the minimum inventory rule-making. In addition, we call on you to reject rollbacks to refinery process safety management (PSM) rules which protect refinery workers and communities while preventing sudden outages that trigger price shocks." The gross margins are what the refiners keep after the cost of crude oil, environmental fees, and taxes are deducted. The only refiner cost included in the gross margin is the operating costs for the refinery, which are reported by the refiners to the SEC at about 20 cents per gallon.

Gavin Sipped Wine as LA Burned
Holy cow! Governor Newsom was doing WHAT as the riots raged in LA? I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. It's bad enough Governor Newsom allowed the streets of LA to be taken over by mobs of anti-ICE rioters and arsonists but guess where he was when it all went down? He was SIPPING WINE at a ritzy charity event in Napa put on by his sister's foundation. Witnesses were SHOCKED to see the governor of the state enjoying a glass of wine in a v-neck and baseball cap the day after the LA riots kicked off in his state's largest city. This was also the same day President Trump sent troops to LA to tame the chaos and anarchy. This should not come as a surprise though, it was Gavin who enjoyed a fancy dinner at the French Laundry at the height of COVID when he instructed his residents to stay home. Then there was Mayor Karen Bass who was all the way in Ghana when the deadly wildfires broke out earlier this year. 'California leader' is an oxymoron. Those two words are like oil and water.
