Those reductions are likely to continue as prop- erty values drop for anoth- er year, Goodwin said. But more visible cuts are likely to come as the state inches toward anoth- er delayed budget.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 – Daily News – 3A Obituary County officials have no plans to fund programs eliminated by the state, except for when legally required to do so. If Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s follows through on his proposal to eliminate CalWORKS — a program designed to put welfare recipients to work — the county would lose a quarter of its Social Ser- vices employees and wel- fare fraud funding for the District Attorney. The Senior Nutrition and In-Home Supportive Services programs look to take hits, with the remain- ing IHSS staff members working reduced hours. Tehama County’s Men- tal Health Services could be completely dismantled, if the state takes back realignment funding, which in turn could put even more pressure on schools to provide federal- ly-mandated mental health services to special educa- tion students. Public safety looks to take a hit as the California Emergency Management Agency considers discon- tinuing a grant of more than $80,000 that pays for a DA investigator. The sheriff, probation and DA may be forced to make further cuts, depend- ing on the amount of vehi- cle license fees collected, which depends on the number of cars sold in the state. ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdailyn ews.com. The 2006 law, known as AB32, seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California and impose new requirements on utilities, manufacturers and other businesses. Oil companies funded the drive to put the initiative on the November ballot. It is backed by business groups who say the law could cost jobs and lead to higher energy prices. Recycling program full of errors SACRAMENTO (AP) — California’s state auditor has found trouble within the state’s recycling program. In a report released Tues- day, state Auditor Elaine Howle found that the state’s beverage container recy- cling program overstated its projected balance by $158 million in the governor’s budget. In addition to miscalcu- lations and ineffective man- agement, the audit said the state has failed to investigate and aggressively pursue underpayments from bever- age distributors. The fund is intended to LOS ANGELES (AP) — Environmen- tal groups are calling on California law- makers to reject any efforts to build a foot- ball stadium in downtown Los Angeles without a full environmental review. The organizations told legislators Tues- day there is no justifiable reason to grant Staples Center owner AEG an exemption from state environmental laws to build a football venue nearby. The coalition of 44 groups include the Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol.

Planning and Conservation legislative director Tina Andolina says she’s heard from legislative staffers that an environmen- tal exemption for AEG has been discussed.
