Vito Chiesa wants the residents of Stanislaus County to know that through transformation, the impossible can become possible. The Board of Supervisors Chairman spoke of growing together as a community in his State of the County speech Tuesday morning, comparing the county’s resurgence in the face of past adversity to life bouncing back in the spring – fitting, as rain outside the building where he spoke breathed life back into the drought-plagued community. The address marked the beginning of Chiesa’s second turn as the county’s highest elected official, and he reminisced on his first State of the County address in 2013 when the county had just begun to recover from the Great Recession.
