Dale Kasler, a longtime reporter at the Sacramento Bee, has retired.
He covered climate change, the environment, economics and California water. He had been at the Bee since 1996 and was arrested by police in 2019 while covering a protest.
“It didn’t take me long to figure out that this guy is a journalism savant,” wrote colleague Ryan Sabalow of Facebook. “He has this incredible talent to turn insanely complicated, thorny issues into sharp, well-sourced, insightful stories, and he can do it faster than any reporter I’ve ever known.”
Kasler previously spent 10 years at the Des Moines Register.
He is Northwestern University graduate.
