• At tonight’s Stockton City Council meeting, elected leaders are honoring resident Gregory Basso for his anti-Forbes YouTube video. Mayor Ann Johnston called him “Mr. Cheerleader.”
“Thank you for putting our city on the map in a very positive way,” she told him. “This is the best marketing tool we could have ever had.”
• The City Council in closed session unanimously appointed Bonnie Paige to the city clerk’s position, effective July 1, when outgoing City Clerk Katherine Gong Meissner retires. Paige is currently the city’s assistant city clerk.
“You cannot find a better person in Ms. Paige,” Meissner told the council.
