Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims is speaking out in response to budget disputes with the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.

On Friday, Sheriff Mims announced she hired an attorney and said she was considering a lawsuit against the board.

Mims says she should have control to make decisions within her own department.

The Fresno County Sheriff's Department needs to close a $2.9 million deficit by June 30.

In a statement issued on Monday, Sheriff Mims said: "I must have complete authority to move resources in any emergency if my office is to protect our citizens. I must be allowed to make these important judgments as I frequently do on a day-to-day basis."

One person was killed and four others were injured after a head-on collision in Sanger Monday night.

The crash occurred just before 6:30 p.m. in the area of Goodfellow Avenue and Channel Road.

The California Highway Patrol says the driver of a red SUV crossed over the center divider on Goodfellow and hit a pickup in the oncoming lane.

A passenger in the SUV sustained fatal injuries in the crash. There were four other victims in the collision that were transported to Community Regional Medical Center.

The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation.

State Senator Abel Maldonado is still waiting to find out if he will become California's newest Lieutenant Governor.

Maldonado was expected to be approved by the Assembly Committee last week but a small group of Democrats announced their opposition to the appointment, delaying the vote until Tuesday.

Some lawmakers question Maldonado's long term commitment to the job and others feel he is too valuable at his current position.

Assemblyman Jose Solorio, D-Santa Ana said, "I believe California would be better served by having Senator Maldonado continue in his leadership in the Senate. Senator Maldonado can be an important voice of moderation within the highly partisan Senate Republican Caucus."

If Maldonado passes the Assembly Committee, his appointment will go before the full State Senate.

A hazmat scare shut down a busy building in downtown Fresno Monday morning. Employees called 911 after noticing a strange odor in the annex of the Post Office.

The hazmat scare happened around 10:30 a.m. off of Tulare and M Street.

The building houses both the Post Office Annex as well as the headquarters of the Fresno Unified School District.

Firefighters say they got a report of a strange odor coming from the basement of the building. They quickly responded to the call and evacuated the mail room and a handful of other employees inside the building.

Investigators say there were crews doing some work in the basement of the building over the weekend and an air compressor was left on, which overheated, resulting in what officials believe to be the cause of the odor.

Gary Eberhad with the Fresno Fire Department said, “We understand they were doing some work last night on the generator. The smell was described as a rubbery glue type odor.”

Four people complained of runny noses and throat irritation. They were all treated on scene by Emergency Medical Service crews and all are expected to be okay.

The building was mostly vacant at the time because of the Lincoln holiday, observed by the school district.

A Valley favorite kicks off its 2010 season on Saturday, February 13th.

For over a half a century, generations of youngsters have visited Rotary Storyland & Playland, located inside Fresno's Roeding Park.

Playland has been a part of the community for 55 years.

There are a lot of new things happening this season and Rotary Storyland & Playland President and CEO, Barry Falke, stopped by CBS47 This Morning to talk about the new season.

Falk says they have completed about ¾ of million dollars in renovations and improvements over the past four years. Falk said, “We also have a new space called ‘Mother Goose in California’ at Storyland, which is based off of Doug Hansen, a Professor at Fresno State who has a book called ‘Mother Goose in California’.”

Falke says Storyland & Playland is a place for affordable family entertainment. “Playland is unique because you can actually walk right into Playland for free, so you can walk in for no charge at all. You can choose at that point to either buy tickets, where our rides are .50 cent tickets and our rides are three to six tickets, so rides are as cheap as $1.50 to $3,” Falke said.

Storyland is $3.50 for children and $4.50.

During the spring, Rotary Storyland and Playland are open weekends only and hours are 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
