Posted by admin under Media , City of Santa Clarita , Annexation , Dave Bossert  1 Comment 

The West Ranch Beacon experienced an outage due to a database problem at its web hosting provider late Friday and over the weekend. These issues appear to have been resolved and we are re-posting this commentary for those who were unable to read it on Friday. Enjoy!

Posted by admin under City of Santa Clarita , Annexation , Dave Bossert  No Comments
