BUDGET Continued from page 1A entered its fourth week of the new fis- cal year without a balanced budget. For weeks, there have been no signs of progress. ‘‘I don’t want to hand this problem and this burden over to the next gover- nor, so I am absolutely committed that I will not sign a budget if we don’t have all of those reforms in place,’’ Schwarzenegger said. In recent years, the Democratic leaders who control the Assembly and Senate have agreed to one budget plan, which is then negotiated with Republi- cans and the governor. This year, how- ever, the two leaders released separate plans and have agreed only in principle to protect funding for schools and social programs for the poor. The two Democratic leaders — Assembly Speaker John Perez of Los Angeles and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento — said Monday they won’t accept a cuts- only budget as proposed by Schwarzenegger and backed by Republican lawmakers. Instead, Democrats are calling for a MCT file photo delay in corporate tax breaks and adop- tion of a new oil tax. ‘‘If the governor continues to insist on granting billions in corporate tax cuts financed by drastic cuts to public education and programs for working mothers and their children, I am pre- pared to grant his wish by waiting for the next governor,’’ Steinberg said in a statement. GOP reserves $1.75M for ads in Senate race WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have reserved $1.75 million for television ads to help Carly Fiorina in the final week of the California Senate race. The commitment signals GOP opti- mism about unseating three-term Democ- ratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in November. The Republicans plan to target the Los Angeles market and the money would buy enough air time for viewers to see an ad — at least in part — 10 times. Amber Marchand, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Senatorial Com- mittee, confirmed the decision to invest in the bid of former Hewlett-Packard CEO Fiorina. She called the race ‘‘a highly competitive pickup opportunity for Republicans.’’ Previously, the committee had declined to say where it would be putting its money going into the Nov. 2 election. The committee has been reluctant in the past to spend money in California races because Democrats have a huge edge in voter registration and races are so expensive. Julie Soderlund, a spokeswoman for the Fiorina campaign, said the commit- ment shows that Republicans will be on offense during the campaign’s final week. ‘‘It certainly sends a strong message about just how winnable this state is and how much excitement there is,’’ Soder- lund said. owns and operates the only on-site crematory in Tehama County. • Your loved one NEVER leaves our care. • For your peace of mind, we personally perform cremations on site. • No hidden charges.

Crime in state parks rises SACRAMENTO (AP) — Crime in California’s state parks has risen nearly threefold in the last decade. A Sacramento Bee analysis of Department of Parks and Recreation data shows 62,575 crimes were report- ed in the parks last year, or about 170 a day. That com- pares to 65 a day in 1999. Serious and violent crimes remain rare in parks. There were 33 assaults in 1999 and 87 last year. Trespassing in closed areas, failing to pay entry fees and illegal camping and fishing are some of the most common offenses. Is cremation your choice? Reception will follow at (ERBES) WILSON Barbara Ellen (Erbes) Wil- TAX Continued from page 1A visitors who would pay TOT. Increased rates during the special events are rea- sonable, but customers who stay in the hotels during other times of the year should not have to pay more, hoteliers said. Increasing the TOT is not just bad for hotels but all small businesses. Peo- ple who stay in hotels tend to spend money at other businesses. If peo- ple decide not to stop here, then everybody loses, Deol said. “If (the city) thinks this is the way they’re going FIRES Continued from page 1A The US Forest Service had 78 lightning caused fires for 115 acres and Bureau of Land Man- agement had 19 for a total of 6 acres burned. The Constantia Fire in Lassen County is five miles south of Doyle in the Carson City BLM district. It is at 1,700 acres and is 10 percent contained. Lassen County also saw the closure Monday of Highway 36 in both directions at the junction with US 395 due to a vegetation to make money, they’re wrong,” Deol said. Hoteliers say they understand that the city needs to create revenue, but there are other ways to bring in money besides raising the TOT. Simple tasks such as asking Caltrans to trim the trees along Interstate 5 to make Red Bluff more visible from the highway could bring more people into the city, where they will spend money in local business, the hoteliers said. To reduce traffic con- trol during special events, hoteliers suggested work- ing with TRAX or some other transportation agency to offer busing to and from the fairgrounds from designated stops. Ali Abbassi, represent- ing the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce’s Convention and Visitors Bureau Commit- tee, assured the hoteliers that the chamber did not support the tax increase. The idea only came up after an outside person mentioned the idea. “We never were behind that or supported it what- soever,” Abbassi said. The visitors bureau’s proposal to hoteliers and other businesses is to cre- ate a special district that would market the com- munity and be self-fund- ed by members, who would have control over fire, a Caltrans release said. By 1 p.m. Monday the highway had been reopened. “It is extremely important that residents be extra cautious right now as crews are busy with light- ning sparked fires and we can’t afford a negligent human caused fire,” said Daniel Berlant, a Cal- Fire department information offi- cer. According the CalFire Web- site, Shasta County has two fires that are less than an acre and Siskiyou County had four fires totaling two acres. For information on CalFire incidents visit: http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/inci- dents_current. A release from Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County said fire crews were busy with numerous reports of smoke and fire, including one fire upstream from the community of Happy Camp on Highway 96 in the Cade Mountain area. That fire, which was 1.2 acres, was quickly contained and does not appear to be lightning caused. Three engines and 20 person- nel from the Klamath Hot-Shots were sent to support the Modoc National Forest. One engine was sent to assist with fires in the Lassen National Forest and one engine was sent where the money is spent. The Business Improve- ment District would help pave the way to bring events and visitors to the city and boost the econo- my, Abbassi said. While the district would operate indepen- dent from the city, it would have to be approved by the City Council through a reso- lution. Hoteliers want Abbassi to include a clause in the resolution that states the city can- not raise the TOT with- out support from the dis- trict. Monday’s meeting, which was organized by Deol and dubbed a press conference, was supposed to be a public airing of hoteliers’ concerns over the traffic control issue. Deol said he invited a representative from the city, but no one showed. City Manager Martin Nichols said, though he heard second-hand about the meeting, he was never approached to attend the meeting. Tehama District Fair- ground CEO Mark Eid- man was invited, but was not present, Deol said. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.c om. from Six Rivers National Forest to assist with a fire in the Happy Camp/Oak Knoll Ranger District. While most of the lightning activity on Sunday was in the areas of Lassen National Forest and progressed toward Modoc National Forest, lightning was predicted to hit Klamath National Forest Monday. Reconnaissance aircraft will be patrolling the county over the next few days to search for any signs of fire. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.
