Commission looks at building standards
The Visalia Planning Commission inched closer Monday night to changing the building standards for hom-es built in the city. Although a formal vote was not taken, commissioners told city staff that they are mostly in favor of reducing the front- and side-yard setbacks by 10 feet citywide rather than restricting the change to new construction. Commissioner Vincent Salinas was the lone opponent to the citywide recommendation. Commissioner Jim Armstrong was absent. Salinas said he is concerned that individual chan-ges by homeowners in a neighborhood could potentially create friction in the neighborhood.

Judge Rules Hornoff Can't Collect For Overtime Missed
PROVIDENCE -- A Warwick police detective wrongly convicted of murder can't collect pay for overtime and interest he missed while he was incarcerated, Superior Court Presiding Justice Joseph Rodgers Jr. ruled. Rodgers on Tuesday said Jeffrey Scott Hornoff is still entitled to nearly $508,000 in back pay. Most of the additional $367,000 Hornoff sought to collect was for interest payments he felt he's owed. Hornoff was suspended from the Warwick Police Department without pay in 1994, after he was indicted in the murder of 29-year-old Victoria Cushman. He was wrongly convicted in 1996 and sentenced to life in prison.
