The community is encouraged to celebrate local business and nominate those who are deserving of recognition. The nomination period ends October 1, 2020.

With the March primaries just weeks away, voters will be considering not only their choices on the ballot but will also need to consider how they will cast their votes in South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County.

With poor voter turnout, especially in South Lake Tahoe, and more registered voters choosing to vote by mail, the polling places set up on election days were not frequently used.

EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. – Voters who have been mailed a postcard from the
El Dorado County Registrar of Voters Bill O’Neill indicating they are a "No Party Preference" may have to re-register.

“We are confident our mailing list of NPP voters is accurate, however, some voters may have had their party preference unknowingly changed as a result of automatic voter registration through the California Department of Motor Vehicles,” O’Neill said.

Close to 70 nominees will be celebrated at the 12th annual Blue Ribbon Awards on Thursday, Nov. 14 at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe Hotel and Casino. Join the Tahoe Chamber in celebrating the businesses and individuals that make the South Shore a great community to live, work and play.

Experience Award - Business providing compelling and captivating experiences.

With the new year just around the corner, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is reminding the public of several new laws or changes to existing law that, unless otherwise noted, take effect January 1, 2018.

The South Lake Tahoe Police Department has received multiple reports regarding a phone scam to local residents. Callers are identifying themselves to potential victims as an employee of the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). These phony IRS Agents inform the victim they have a warrant for their arrest or owe taxes. This is a scam. Callers claiming to be from the IRS tell intended victims they must pay using a pre-paid debit card, credit cards or wire transfer. The scammers threaten those who refuse to pay with arrest, deportation or loss of a business or driver’s license.

It is time once again to make nominations for the Blue Ribbon Awards. From quality shopping, accommodations, recreation and dining options to the myriad service providers and businesses, the Blue Ribbon Awards honor all that business should be. This important awards program salutes those businesses that are making significant contributions to the South Shore economy.

Unpaid traffic fines and mushrooming fees have left 4.2 million Californians with suspended driver’s licenses — more than one-sixth of the licenses issued statewide — with poor people the hardest-hit, according to a newly published study that criticizes policies that take drivers off the road because of debts they can’t pay.

California is experiencing just what Nevada and states who have issued first time driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, long lines and large numbers of applicants. In the first month, over 236,000 people have applied statewide under AB60.

California AB60allows for the immigrants to apply for a license even though they don't have the normally required identification.

With the passing of AB 60 in California a large group of new applicants for driver's licenses is expected, and with that a new group of scams targeting an unsuspecting population.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued a warning to customers that they need to watch for scams involving the application process.

Charter Communications installer by day, electronic producer by night. South Lake Tahoe local Jose Meza is following his dream to make it big in the competitive world of DJs, beats, mixes and electronic music.

With a stage name of Manny Maze, the 22-year-old South Lake Tahoe native has been perfecting his talent and mastering the making of the tracks he hopes will make him well known in the electronic music world.

An estimated 1.4 million additional license applications are expected in California during the first three years after implementation of AB 60, the state law that allows driver's licenses to people unable to submit satisfactory proof of legal presence in the United States.

There are less than two weeks left for Californians to register to vote on the November 4 election day. In order to be eligible to vote, one must be 18, a U.S. citizen, are not in prison or on parole for conviction of a felony, or have not been ruled mentally incompetent to vote by the courts.

TahoeChamber is now accepting nominations for the 7th Annual Blue Ribbon Awards, an esteemed award program that recognizes exceptional businesses in the South Shore. The awards focus on businesses and individuals that have made significant contributions to the South Shore economy and community through their unique programs, exceptional customer service, entrepreneurship and otherwise.

The following categories are open for nominations:

Californians are invited to attend public hearings being held by the Department of Motor Vehicles on AB60, the state law that directs DMV to issue driver licenses to undocumented California residents.

While no hearings are held in South Lake Tahoe, there will be one in each Southern California and Northern California as well as an on-line telecast.

A live webcast of the hearings will be available. For a direct link, please visit the DMV web page at http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/ab60 during the hearings.

The scheduled renovations at the South Lake Tahoe office of the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) have been postponed until a future date. They are alerting local customers that the work will not go on March 26 - April 1 as planned because of weather conditions.
