They don't have anything better to waste their time on?

KINGS BEACH (CBS13) — A Tahoe street name that many consider racist will be changed. 

The Placer County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to rename “Coon Street” in Kings Beach to “Raccoon Street.” It was named in 1926. According to county records, the streets running north to south in the subdivision were given animal names such as Fox, Bear and Deer, while the streets running east to west were named after fish like Rainbow, Golden and Steelhead.

Let's see, city-data.com shows King's Beach has a population of 3796 souls from the 2010 census and out of that, there's a whopping three blacks in the entire town.
