For more than 60 years, KUBA has been the source for local news. KUBA is where Yuba/Sutter turned for the latest on the 1955, 1986 and 1997 floods, the Juan Corona trial, the Lindhurst hostage crisis and numerous fires and other events. When Yuba City high Catcher Max Stassi was picked up by Oakland in the Baseball draft, you heard about it first on KUBA.
KUBA is also first with national, state and breaking news. KUBA news director Chris Gilbert has been covering stories that affect you since 1986! If you see news happening call Chris at 530-673-1862.

CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE DEBRA BOWEN SAYS SHE’S CONCERNED THAT THOUSANDS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE DELIVERED LATE, AND NOT COUNTED, THIS ELECTION SEASON. THAT’S BECAUSE THE POSTAL SERVICE MAY CLOSE MORE PROCESSING FACILITIES AS SOON AS MAY, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO SLOW DELIVERY OF THE BALLOTS TO CLERK-RECORDER OFFICES. BUT YUBA COUNTY’S CLERK-RECORDER, TERRI HANSEN, SAYS SHE’S MORE CONCERNED ABOUT ANOTHER PLAN TO END SATURDAY MAIL DELIVERIES. MEANWHILE, CONGRESSMAN JOHN GARAMENDI SAYS HE SUPPORTS LEGISLATION TO DELAY THE PROPOSALS UNTIL AFTER THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

RESIDENTS OF THE SUBDIVISION WHERE A WELL HAS NOT FAILED YET OPPOSE THE ANNEXATION, BUT DON’T COMPRISE A HIGH ENOUGH PERCENTAGE TO FORCE IT TO A PUBLIC VOTE.
