Taxpayers have paid more than $113,000 in legal expenses related to an attempted extortion charge that was later dropped against Fresno City Councilman Nelson Esparza. A federal appeals court ruling Monday could hamper efforts by numerous cities and counties across California to ban natural gas appliances in new construction to fight climate change.Speaking to a United Nations forum this week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pulled a rhetorical sleight of hand increasingly common on the environmentalist Left. She tried to take climate change, an issue people generally don't care about, into a discussion about international poverty, which most people genuinely do care about.
