Michelin Guide adds 3 more Sacramento restaurants to its list
SACRAMENTO – California's capital city is getting more recognition from the Michelin Guide. On Wednesday, the Michelin Guide revealed that three Sacramento restaurants were added to the prestigious list. Two of the new restaurants, Majka and Kin Thai, are on the Grid, while Pho Momma is just east of Sacramento in an otherwise unremarkable strip mall. Majka was hailed by the Michelin Guide reviewer as being "at the forefront of the Sacramento pizza scene," Kin Thai's sweets got a shoutout from its reviewer, and Pho Momma's high-quality ingredients left a lasting impression. None of the new restaurants added to the Michelin Guide were awarded a star, at this point. The guide has a June event planned in Sacramento where Michelin's coveted stars will be awarded to California restaurants. With the three new additions, a total of 17 Sacramento area restaurants are now listed on the Michelin Guide. Of that 17, only The Kitchen and Localis have been awarded a star.

Governor DeSantis spotlights Bay County for new Florida DOGE audit
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Governor Ron Desantis posted a 2-minute video to the 'X' social media platform Tuesday, singling out Bay County three times for agreeing to the new Florida doge audit. Bay County County Manager Bob Majka had mentioned the audits to county commissioners earlier that day. Majka and Commissioner Doug Moore voiced support for the proposal, but the commission was not able to vote on it. 'It's a procedural issue. You know, we started these conversations a while back, you know, about being interested in the process just because we wanted to make sure we had a voice at the table. Not necessarily from the perspective of being first, but just if there's going to be a conversation, we would like to be involved in the conversation about how this is going to take shape and how things are going to be looked at, 'Bob Majka said. DeSantis urges local governments volunteer for Florida DOGE audits Desantis has accused local governments of raising taxes on citizens, even though the counties and cities are getting more money from the state. 'Shouldn't you know how this money is being spent especially in those counties that have seen dramatic increases in their state budgets? Now we are working with the Florida legislature to get more prescriptive authority to be able to go in and conduct audits of these local governments so that taxpayers get the full picture of what's going on,' Desantis said. If commissioners approve the governor's request, the state doge will audit Bay County's budget and expenditures. Mayor suggests forming a DOGE in Panama City Auditors will use AI to review operations and identify more ways to cut spending. 'You know, never hurts to continue to look and evaluate and reevaluate what you're doing. So we're looking at this as a very positive process. I think the benefit of AI is that it can conduct evaluative research very quickly. I think the fundamental part of this conversation is what government should be and should not be spending money on. And so, you know, a lot of that is driven by a community desire,' Majka added. Majka says the state will not be charging the county to perform the audit. If the audit finds unnecessary spending in the budget, but county officials disagree with the finding, what happens then? 'Local government decisions are made by local government, and it really comes down to what people in the community want their government to look like and to fund and what services they desire,' Majka continued. Majka plans to present the audit proposal for a vote at the April 1st commission meeting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
