## Resource

A Fresno farmer’s wild act of giving away free fruit clashes with a high-stakes legal battle against a major produce company, while Granville Homes’ former CFO accuses CEO Darius Assemi of secretly diverting $14–16 million to buy a ranch—claims Assemi denies, calling the ex-CFO disgruntled and insisting the company’s finances are solid. Meanwhile, California’s new Native American mascot law goes into effect July 1, forcing schools to get tribal approval for derogatory names—most Fresno-area schools are already cleared, though Mendota and Farmersville Unified are still sorting it out.
