Valley Solutions offers a daily look at the top headlines appearing on media websites affecting the San Joaquin Valley. It is compiled by Mike Dunbar, who worked in Stockton, Modesto, Merced and Los Banos media for 40 years and later served as Adam Gray’s press secretary when he was in the Assembly. Valley Solutions is brought to readers by Rep. Adam Gray.

Valley Solutions takes a break
Valley Solutions. Everyone needs a break eventually.
Synopsis: After Friday’s edition of Valley Solutions, editor Mike Dunbar will take a two-week break. During that time, Valley Solutions will publish occasional items such as collections of political cartoons – which do not reflect the views of Valley Solutions, Dunbar or Adam Gray. They were chosen because they either made Dunbar laugh or frown. Publication of daily media roundups resume August 25. Among the dozens of websites and pages Valley Solutions checks each day there are two that carry editorial cartoons. Here is a selection of cartoons from the past few days.
