California, which has the lowest credit rating in the nation, has so far been able to pay most of its bills. But officials warned that won’t hold for much longer. Controller John Chiang the housekeeper. has said he may have to issue IOUs for just the third time since the Great Depression if next week passes with no budget. Without a budget, the state stopped paying some employees and vendors, and Chiang said he already owes thousands of state contractors nearly $3 billion. In addition, an estimat- ed $7 billion in planned public works projects could be in danger if a deal is not reached soon, state Treasurer Bill Locky- er’s office has said. Earlier in the day, law- makers appeared opti- mistic that a deal was within reach. Garrick told reporters to ‘‘look for the white smoke, or the smell of it,’’ as he walked into the meeting. Whitman, Brown tangle on immigration, maid FRESNO (AP) — GOP guberna- try illegally. torial candidate Meg Whitman and Democratic rival Jerry Brown traded barbs over immigration policy and Whitman’s illegal immigrant house- keeper during a heated debate that was aimed at California’s growing Latino population. Both candidates hoped to score points with the crucial voting bloc during Saturday’s face-off, the first to air statewide on Spanish-language television. Whitman acknowledged early on that she cannot win the gov- ernor’s race without Latino votes. Whitman had hoped to use the debate at California State University, Fresno to move on from a controver- sy that has dominated headlines this week after it was revealed she had an illegal immigrant housekeeper for nine years. The billionaire former eBay chief executive, who has spent $119 mil- lion of her own money on the race, tried instead to focus on her cam- paign themes of creating jobs and improving the state’s public school system. But with so much of the focus on issues related to immigration policy, Whitman was forced to explain her conservative positions while Brown had many opportunities to bring up When the debate moderator asked Whitman about her treatment of the worker, she accused Brown’s cam- paign of orchestrating the controver- sy and sacrificing the maid ‘‘on the altar of your political ambitions.’’ Brown fired back that she has not taken responsibility and is not fit to be governor. ‘‘Don’t run for governor if you can’t stand up on your own two feet and say, ’Hey I made a mistake,’’’ Brown said in a moment fraught with tension as the two candidates, neck- and-neck in the polls, turned away from the audience and faced each other directly. ‘‘You have blamed her, blamed me, blamed the left, blamed the unions. But you don’t take accountability.’’ Whitman’s campaign has worked hard to win support among indepen- dents and Latinos, who are crucial to the campaign of any Republican run- ning in a state in which Democrats hold a 13.4 percentage point edge among registered voters. But Democrats hope to exploit the housekeeper controversy as a way to question Whitman’s character. Whit- man fired the woman in June 2009, immediately after she said she found out the housekeeper was in the coun- She then refused to help when the woman asked for assistance in pursu- ing legal residency. Whitman said the decision was the right one at the time. She said she had no reason to believe the housekeeper, Nicki Diaz Santillan, was illegal, and had to act within the law. ‘‘We hired Nicky because she had all the appropriate documents, we went through a hiring agency, and then in June of 2009 she came to me to tell me that she was here illegally and did not have the appropriate doc- uments,’’ she said. ‘‘I made the hard- est decision I have almost made in my life, which was to let her go. ... So it broke my heart. It was incredibly difficult for me to do.’’ Brown said it was shabby for Whitman not to offer at least initial help to the housekeeper, whom Whitman has described as being like a member of her extended family. ‘‘When someone works with you, you do have familial bonds and ties, and I think if that story is to be believed, I think Meg flunked the most fundamental test of all, and that is to treat people with respect and decency,’’ he told reporters in a post- debate news conference. State Briefing Calif assembly candidate to have heart surgery MAGALIA (AP) — A candidate for state assembly from Butte County has announced he will undergo heart- bypass surgery before the election.

Police: 2 boys hurt in 2 accidents in Woodland WOODLAND (AP) — Two separate weekend acci- dents involving drinking and driving in the same Northern California community have left two young boys hospital- ized — one with serious injuries and the other with possi- bly life-threatening wounds, police said Sunday. Woodland police said Alejandro Ramirez Lopez drove over his 1-year-old son in a parking lot at around 1 a.m. Sunday. The 27-year-old Lopez was arrested and booked into Yolo County Jail on suspicion of felony driving under the influence, according to police. He was due to be arraigned Wednesday after being placed on an immigration hold, a jails record clerk said. It was not known if Lopez had retained an attorney, and police did not have additional details about the exact nature of the child’s possibly life-threatening injuries. In an earlier incident, Woodland police said officers and a medical personnel responding to a call of a child getting hit by a car around 6:20 p.m. Saturday found a 5-year-old boy semiconscious after he was hit by a car and carried into a nearby home. The child, who has not been named, was taken by ambulance to UC Davis Trauma Center in Sacramento for what police described as serious injuries.
