He has saved so many lives by keeping these dogs healthy, happy, and active while they wait for their forever home and a Senate leader in DC pushing mental health programs SACRAMENTO (AP) — State Senate leader Darrell Steinberg is meeting this week with Obama administration and congressional officials in Washington, D.C., to promote California's approach to dealing with mental illness as a model for the nation. California's Mental Health Services Act, approved by voters eight years ago, raises $1 billion a year for early intervention and treatment through a special tax on millionaires. Steinberg is urging the federal government to devote $10 billion to help states establish additional mental health programs, perhaps by making treatment a priority under Medicaid and the federal Affordable Care Act. The Senate president pro tem, a Democrat from Sacramento, met Tuesday with aides to Vice President Joe Biden, who headed President Barack Obama's review of gun control and mental health efforts after the Newton, Conn., school shooting. He also met with representatives of national mental health advocacy groups. ''We are leading the country in identifying early signs of mental illness especially in young people and then in doing something about it,'' Steinberg said in a telephone interview. ''They confirmed for us that nobody is doing what California is doing, on the scale that we are doing it. No one is putting $1 billion a year into community mental health.'' The Associated Press reported in August that tens of millions of dollars from Steinberg's Proposition 63 has gone to general wellness programs for peo- ple who had not been diagnosed with any mental illness, and Steinberg has asked auditors to review the program. Other critics say not enough money is going to those already diagnosed with serious mental illness. But Steinberg said the biggest problem is that about $750 million has been taken out of mental health programs to deal with budget cuts even as the initiative raised $1 billion from a 1 percent surtax on incomes exceeding $1 million. He said early intervention and treatment is key to preventing violence like last month's massacre in Connecticut, where a young gunman killed 20 elementary school students, six educators and himself. He pointed to a Sacramento County program funded by Proposition 63 that has screened 1,300 young people for early signs of mental illness in the last five years, then treated those who needed help. He has meetings scheduled through Wednesday with California's U.S. senators and representatives including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from San Francisco, and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from Bakersfield. so that the math is easier not something you have to to calculate, Gates said. worry about getting on your skin."

Lawmakers split on Mickelson's tax comment SACRAMENTO (AP) — Republican state lawmakers reacted Tuesday with an ''I told you so'' after golf champion Phil Mickelson said he might leave California because voters approved higher income taxes on the wealthy. The four-time major champion said higher state and federal taxes will take 60 percent of his income. California lawmakers split upon reliably partisan lines in offering reaction, with Republicans saying they expect more high-earners to follow and Democrats saying multimillionaires can afford to pay more. Voters in November overwhelmingly approved Proposition 30, an initiative championed by Gov. Jerry Brown that boosts taxes on income over $250,000 a year for seven years and raises the statewide sales tax by a quarter cent for four years. Republicans who campaigned against the initiative said it would drive away entrepreneurs and investors. ''You know, it's sad. And I think it'll be the first of many,'' said Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare. ''It's one thing to have nice weather and say California's great, but at some point, I think most people don't want to turn over 60 percent of their earned income to taxes.'' Mickelson first made a cryptic reference two weeks ago before the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, where he won last year for his 40th career PGA Tour title. He expanded on his comments after his final Community Clip? e-mail: clerk@redbluffdailynews.com or Fax: 527-9251 The staff at Red Bluff Simple Cremations would like to thank all of the families who trust us with their loved ones needs.

''There are going to be some drastic changes for me because I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state, and it doesn't work for me right now,'' he said. ''So I'm going to have to make some changes.'' Assemblywoman Beth Gaines, RRoseville, said it was what Republicans predicted. ''He's another example of our messed-up tax system, and it's driving successful people out of our state,'' she said. California should broaden its tax base instead of turning first to the wealthy, said Sen. Bill Emmerson, R-Redlands, vice chairman of the Senate budget committee. ''It's not just the 'big rich.' It is those who are aspiring. It is the twoperson working families that are making over $250,000,'' said Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, who previously was Republicans' lead budget negotiator in the Assembly. Mickelson's comment recalls the ongoing spat between the French government and actor Gerard Depardieu, who has acquired a Russian passport and said he would move to Belgium to avoid a proposed 75 percent tax on the wealthy. But Sen. Mark Leno, chairman of the Senate budget committee, said California's tax environment is nothing like that proposed in France. Leno, D-San Francisco, said he has never seen tax flight so significant that it should make a financial difference or influence public policy. Democrats said there is no evidence in the U.S. or California of mass departures in the wake of higher taxes on the wealthy. State Assemblyman Roger Dickinson, D-Sacramento, called Mickelson ''the exception rather than the rule.'' ''Most of the people who do well love to be in California, and there's no evidence from past occasions when tax rates were higher on the wealthy that it led to any kind of exodus of those who were wealthy or higherincome earners, so I don't expect that to be the case this time, either,'' Dickinson said. A study last summer by two Stanford researchers found no net effect in migration out of or into California by the rich after voters in 2004 passed Proposition 63, a 1 percent income tax hike on millionaires to pay for mental health programs. The study's authors said ''the high- est-income Californians were less likely to leave the state after the millionaire tax was passed.'' Brown's press secretary, Gil Duran, said voters agreed to raise taxes to protect education from further budget cuts. ''We have to look beyond our personal interests to where we are going as a society,'' he said. A majority of PGA Tour players live in Florida and others in Texas, two states that have no state income tax. Tiger Woods grew up in Southern California and played two years at Stanford. He was a California kid when he won an unprecedented three straight U.S. Amateur titles, but when he made his professional debut in Milwaukee a week later, he was listed as being from Orlando, Fla. THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column of August 1958) Our daughter-in-law JoAnn, is just about the perfect mother. No matter what her children do, she never raises her voice nor gets the least bit upset. But last week she did get upset enough to miss eating her dinner. On the wall of her kitchen, she has one of those gimmicks that grind ice cubes into fine ground ice. After grinding half of the cubes, she was called away to the phone. While gone, 3 year old Brandon came into the kitchen looking for a safe spot to hide his small pet frog so his sister could not find it and take it away from him. Well, once his mother returned to the kitchen and continued her ice cube grinding, he no longer had to worry about his sister finding his frog. *** When I was a kid, there was an expression I haven't heard now for many years. When a child had a new brother or sister, he was said to "have his nose out of joint". What it meant was that the older child was no longer the main attraction around the house. Although, I have asked many people, no one seems to know how the expression originated. *** My friends who visit us from our former home in New Jersey are always amazed at the fast growing cities of the West. In the East, businesses and towns stay about the same year after year, but I never miss an opportunity to tell the easterners the difference in growth is in the banks. In the Eastern communities, the banks still loan money in the old fashioned way. They let it be known that they have money to loan, but it is up to the borrower to prove to the banks that there is absolutely no chance of the banks losing money if they agree to loan it. In most cases, this is a painfully drawn out ordeal. Whereas in the West, the country has boomed ahead strictly because the banks are anxious to loan money, especially if it will advance the community. Bank of America or, as it was once called Bank of Italy, is particularly advanced in this concept. *** My self-respect has picked up quite a bit since we found out that many quiz show contestants were prompted in their answers beforehand. I could not believe that going to college or holding several different jobs would make a contestant twenty times smarter than the average person. Maybe four or five times, but not so smart that they knew every character in every book, all the names of every member of the President's cabinet or all the waterways of the world and so forth. The only category in which it would be possible to know all the answers is the Bible. Many have read it so many times that they could answer any question about it.
