The only catch: Mr Lafferty refuses to name his suspect. Mr Lafferty claims the killer is now a 91-year-old man living in Solano County but...

The public shows up to slam the Solano County Supes for wasting $100,000 on a climate change study and for buying into global warming fraud.

Lois "Locust" Wolk for help but instead they just look for more opportunities to spend wastefully.
