Isleton City Council structure shaken up, meeting turns to chaos
There's political drama in the Delta, after the Isleton City Council ousted the mayor as part of a reorganization, naming a new mayor and vice mayor from within the council. Tensions were high at a chaotic meeting on Tuesday, where CBS Sacramento's camera was rolling. As the meeting went on, insults, opinions, and frustrations were shared by councilmembers, city staff, and members of the public who were in attendance in a packed city hall. Expletives were regularly thrown into comments and grievances from all sides. At the center of one of the most contested items was the now-former mayor, Iva Walton. Walton was accused of continuing to operate an outdoor dining area at her bar, Mei Wah Beer Room, after her encroachment permit was denied. At one point, Walton said: "It feels like dumping when her [councilmember Aleida Suarez] wife calls me a 'bad dog.' " Suarez responded: "You call us coffee b-----," adding, "this isn't about he said she said. This is about code of conduct." At times, other members of the public blurted out expletives as councilmembers spoke to each other, at times, outlining negative or untrue social media posts made about each other. Isleton has a $4.7 million debt, and a recent grand jury report outlined systemic issues that put the city on the brink of bankruptcy. Tuesday night, before chaos erupted, the council voted to send a letter of request to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors requesting an $800,000 loan to address some of their immediate debts. Members of the public expressed concern amid the tense exchanges and council upheaval that the perception of their city may be impacted if they receive the county loan. "We just have to look at the future and how the person that's going to give us a loan and looks at what you guys are doing now. There's a TV camera here, there's a reporter here. How do you want to look to the public?" one speaker said. CBS Sacramento took the concerns about the impacts of the meeting to the city's acting finance director, who said on Wednesday that the city manager spent most of the day doing "damage control." "Change is going to be painful. This city has operated for one way for decades. To put them on the right path, it's going to look really rocky," said Jessica Bigby, acting finance director of Isleton. The now-mayor, David Kent, told CBS Sacramento it was good to get all of the thoughts, feelings, and opinions out in the open. "A bit of a deviation of sort of the standard session you would expect, but it was healthy and necessary in my opinion," said Kent. In a statement to CBS13, Walton said she believed the proper procedure was not followed, "and the complaints were largely personal attacks and had nothing to do with the leadership I brought to the chair/mayor council position."

Here's Why Shares in United Airlines Took Off Today
Key Points The warning that a low-cost carrier could go out of business is good news for network carriers. United Airlines is well-positioned to outperform in the current environment. 10 stocks we like better than United Airlines › Shares in United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) had soared by 9.4% as of 1 p.m. ET today. It may seem odd that shares in network carriers like United are soaring after another airline, Spirit Airlines, released an SEC filing warning that it has doubts about being able to stay in business, but that's probably the reason for the surge in United and others like Delta and American Airlines. What Spirit said and why it matters to United Airlines Digging into the SEC filing, Spirit's management said "minimum liquidity covenants in the Company's debt obligations and credit card processing agreement require financial results to improve at a rate faster than what the Company is currently anticipating." This is a very worrying development and speaks to the distinct possibility of Spirit not surviving. That might be good news for United as it would reduce capacity in the domestic marketplace. In addition, while low-cost carrier Spirit and United are not direct competitors, the low-cost fares from Spirit do pull down the ticket pricing in United's main cabin. If Spirit does go under, it would further validate the idea that the network carriers are simply better equipped, in the current environment, to deal with market conditions, as their pricing acts as more of a cushion to tolerate rising airport and labor costs. United and Delta are doing a great job of diversifying their revenue streams through focusing on premium cabin revenue, highly successful co-branded credit cards, and loyalty programs that engender repeat custom from high-income earners. It's a model that's working and cushioning the notorious cyclicality of their businesses. Do the experts think United Airlines is a buy right now?

Cheaper Gas, Pricier Flights: Airline Stocks Rally On July Inflation Report
Airline stocks rallied Tuesday after July's inflation report showed ticket prices jumping while gasoline costs — a key industry expense — dropped sharply. This gave carriers a rare double boost. JETS ETF is moving fast. Airline fares jumped 4% from June, while gasoline prices dropped 1.9% over the month and are now 9% lower than a year ago. The dual move means carriers can charge more while paying less for one of their biggest operating costs, a setup that sent airline shares sharply higher. By late morning in New York, Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:ALK), American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL), Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:DAL) and United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) were each up between 7% and 8%. The U.S. Global JETS ETF (NYSE:JETS) — a key benchmark for the industry — soared 5.7%, the largest gain in over a month and the third biggest since October 2022. The Dow Jones Transportation Index jumped 2.8%, outpacing the broader market's gains and eyeing its best performance since May. What's Getting Cheaper, What's Getting More Expensive The CPI report showed mixed news for U.S. consumers. While gasoline provided relief at the pump, several everyday expenses moved higher. A notable price jump was recorded in transportation services, which climbed 0.8% for the month and remain 3.5% higher than a year ago. Medical care services also accelerated, rising 0.8% in July and 4.3% year-over-year, with dental services and hospital care driving much of the increase. Used car prices rose 0.5% in the month and 4.8% from last year. Transportation services increased 0.8% month-over-month and are up 3.5% compared to the same period last year. Gasoline prices fell by 1.9%, or 9% on an annual basis, helping to contain headline inflation. Meanwhile, energy services posted a 0.3% monthly decline, though their annual gain remains steep at 7.2%, led by utility gas service's 13.8% jump from July 2024. Grocery prices, classified as "food at home,' were flat in July but still 2.9% higher than last year, while dining out — "food away from home" — rose 0.3% in the month and is up 3.9% over the past year. Shelter costs — the largest component of CPI — were up 0.2% for the month and 3.7% over the MoM Change (Jul 2025) YoY Change (Jul 2025) All Items +0.2% +2.7% Food 0.0% +2.9% Food at Home -0.1% +2.2% Food Away from Home +0.3% +3.9% Energy -1.1% -2.2% Energy Commodities -1.6% -9.0% Gasoline (All Types) -1.9% -9.5% Fuel Oil +1.8% -2.9% Energy Services -0.3% +7.2% Electricity -0.1% +5.5% Utility (Piped) Gas Service -0.9% +13.8% All Items Less Food & Energy +0.3% +3.1% Commodities Less Food & Energy +0.2% +1.2% New Vehicles 0.0% +0.4% Used Cars & Trucks +0.5% +4.8% Apparel +0.1% -0.2% Medical Care Commodities +0.1% +0.1% Services Less Energy Services +0.4% +3.6% Shelter +0.2% +3.7% Transportation Services +0.8% +3.5% Medical Care Services +0.8% +4.3% Market Reactions: Investors Flock Into Transportation Stocks, Healthcare Giants The travel-related rally spilled over into cruise lines, with Carnival Corp.
