The Chevy Volt is the ultimate green machine that so far isn't very popular in the Valley. So when Brett Hedrick told Automotive News he only needed two Volts despite being offered six more by the factory, Fox News wanted to know why.

The environmentally friendly Chevy Volt was unveiled in 2011. In the past six months, it has been under heavy scrutiny by federal investigators. They determined the electric car didn't pose a greater "fire risk" than gas-powered vehicles.

After Hedrick's Chevrolet refused its full allotment, red flags started popping up.

"I think they thought I didn't believe in the Volt anymore, but I do and I actually took two," said Brett Hedrick, with Hedrick's Chevrolet. "So it was a supply and demand issue. So it was kind of funny it did make national news."

Even though thousands of Fresno County workers hit the picket line Monday, most services were still available.

Workers are upset over a 9% pay cut and what the SEIU calls "unfair labor practices" by the county.

Sheriff Margaret Mims issued the following statement regarding the strike:

"There has been no impact at the Fresno County Jail as a result of the SEIU job action. All Correctional Officers reported for duty for the day shift. A small percentage of support staff participated in the strike and the only public impact thus far is the closure of the Civil window in the lobby of the Sheriff's Office. I want to assure the public I will take every measure to see that the jail remains secure and that the inmates are supervised."

Fresno County Librarian Laurel Prysiazny says 16 of the county's 34 libraries are open despite the strike.

In anticipation of the busy spring season, Home Depot says it plans to hire 70,000 seasonal workers.

The retailer hired about the same number last year, and about half of those employees were offered permanent positions.

Spring is typically the busiest season for home improvement stores because people work on projects for their homes and gardens.
