This is an interesting web site that pulls together San Joaquin Valley information, with the overall goal of looking at the Valley's problems on a regional basis. The site was created by Mike Lukens and you can take a look by clicking here.
"San Joaquin Valleyfornia is meant to help inform conversations throughout the Valley as our leaders and citizens work to address the critical issues that we face as a region," Lukens told me in an email. "I believe the site can be a place for people to go to find out about a wide range of issues. On a larger scale, I envision the site as a place where people have an opportunity to think beyond their particular city or county and think regional."
Lukens pulls together news stories and editorials from Valley newspapers and has a handy listing of web sites of politicians, think tanks and regional groups. This is a nice info-aggregator.
I've bookmarked the site, and think you may find it useful.
