Fresno County Judge Blocks City Attorneys Wage Theft Investigation: A local janitorial company wins a legal battle against City Attorney Andrew Janzs office, which attempted to force the company to hand over detailed payroll records in a wage theft investigation. The judge ruled that state laws cited by the city do not apply to local attorneys, and local codes do not grant that power. This is the first time a judge has rejected one of Janzs subpoena requests since his office started ramping up wage theft cases this year. The decision could slow down future investigations into Fresno employers, as the city council backed the program last year under a new state law to ease the load on state labor officials.
