RT @demianbulwa: Oil helped this Bay Area town grow into a prosperous suburb — but now it's facing a fiscal crisis By @Con_Chron Photos: @…
Oil was a driving force behind Benicia’s transformation from tiny blue-collar town to wealthy midsize suburb. With Valero poised to leave within the next 10 months, can this scenic city chart a new economic identity and avoid a full-blown fiscal crisis? https://t.co/eAZGfnFfbp
