No town had closer connections to the case of “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski than Sacramento: His first and last murder victims over a 17-year period occurred here – the first in an alley behind an Arden Fair computer-rental store, the last in an office downtown across from the state Attorney General’s office on I Street.

For the second time in recent months, the U.S. Department of Labor has extracted penalties from a California farm business blamed for the deadly crash of a vehicle transporting migrant field workers to their jobs. The Labor Department announced this month that Fisher Ranch LLC — a major produce farm near Calexico, close to the Mexican border — has agreed to pay $49,104 for violating the Migrant Seasonal Workers Protection Act. The case stemmed from a March 2017 van crash that killed one laborer and hurt six others.
