Northern California Town Considers Name Change

from KQED's The California Report · host KQED

Should a California town change its name because of its association with a murderous settler? That’s the question at the heart of a ballot measure this election season, in Lake County. It’s a rural area about two hours drive north of Sacramento. Voters are being asked if the small town of Kelseyville should be renamed Konocti.  Reporter: Manola Secaira, CapRadio Southern California’s largest Asian American advocacy group is training its poll monitors to keep an eye out for racist rhetoric and bullying. Reporter: Josie Huang, LAist Californians will vote on ten statewide ballot propositions this fall. Among them is Proposition 2, which would let California borrow $10 billion through a state bond to pay for updates to school facilities.
