Judge rejects challenges to greenhouse gas system SACRAMENTO (AP) — A judge dismissed two lawsuits Thursday challenging the state's cap-and-trade system that limits greenhouse gases from industrial sources by putting a price on carbon. Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley rejected arguments by the California Chamber of Commerce and Pacific Legal Foundation that the system amounted to an illegal tax. As a tax, cap and trade would require a two-thirds vote in the Legislature. The groups also argued that the California Air Resources Board lacked the proper authority to sell carbon permits to the regulated businesses. The cap-and-trade program places a limit, or cap, on emissions from individual polluters. Businesses are required to cut emissions to cap levels or buy extra pollution allowances from other companies to make up for their overages. The cap, or number of allowances, will decline over time in an effort to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The judge rejected both groups' arguments and ruled that money collected by cap and trade allowance sales fluctuates with the market, and resembles regulatory fees more than a tax. Plus, he said, the price put on carbon is meant to reduce emissions, not increase revenue for the state. ''The charges have some traditional attributes of a tax and some traditional attributes of a regulatory fee but, on balance, the court finds the charges to be more like a regulatory fee ... than a traditional tax,'' the judge wrote.

The presentations in favor of the State of Jefferson featured speakers who said they wanted to be inclusive to everyone in their movement. Although one group seemingly wouldn't be welcome in Jefferson — transgendered children. Baird and Statham both referenced the recently passed law that allows transgendered children to choose which sex's bathroom they want to use at schools. The issue was brought up a half-dozen more times by public speakers, citing it as an example of California going too far and a reason separation from the rest of the state is needed — each time to a rowdy round of applause. Laws, regulations, taxes and the economy were common themes from those who spoke during public comment, largely overshadowing brief mentions of Obamacare, Agenda 21 and national surveillance. Baird, Knorr and Statham all said they hadn't met anyone who opposed the idea of the State of Jefferson. If that was true it wouldn't be anymore after Wednesday night. While 40 people spoke during public comment, four said they opposed the idea. One woman said of all the grand ideas the Jefferson proponents had regarding the vision of their future state, no one had bothered to mention education and how children would lose in-state access to California's university system. "I'm proud to be a Californian and I want to stay a Californian," said another woman, who told the board it should be focused on more practical issues and working with the rest of the state not against it. After a brief intermission, a much smaller crowd reconvened to hear the supervisors discuss the issue. Their comments and questions focused mainly on what would happen should the separation movement succeed. Knorr didn't have specific answers, routinely saying that those decisions would have to be made in the future at the new state's Constitutional Convention. While Knorr argued the Jefferson Declaration needed to occur first, Supervisor Bob Williams summed up his opinion when he said that he likes to ask questions first before he jumps off a bridge. Supervisor Steve Chamblin shared that view, saying a plan needs to be created that's not a pie in the sky dream — or else the State of Jefferson would end up in the same mess as it was leaving. Chairman Dennis Garton said he wouldn't feel comfortable voting on a Jefferson Declaration until he had heard the opinion of at least half of his 15,000 constituents. He said he didn't care whether Modoc and Sikiyou counties had already voted on the issue, his only concern was what's best for Tehama. Garton and Williams also shared concerns about what would happen to property taxes when the Williamson Act and Prop. 13 went away. Williams said he disputed some of the comments made that suggested Northern California would boom economically once state regulations were lifted. He pointed to the ever increasing success of Silicon Valley that has managed to maintain one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation and continues to grow despite having to deal with the same state regulations as Tehama. vehicle he was driving.

Other recommendations include reducing the number of new wells to three. The development impact fees total $12,785, according to city staff. The drainage fee is $975; parkland fees are $875; the bedroom tax is $400, wastewater fees are $4,000; sewage fees are $642; traffic fees are $4,819 and water fees are $1,074. In two alternatives proposed by Brewer, the updated fees would total either $12,905, or $12,039, depending on whether the city applies non-residential development impact fees at four or five equivalent dwelling units per acre. Impact fees in Corning were initially implemented by way of a water fee in 1953, according to Brewer's presentation. The bedroom tax was implemented in 1978; drainage fees in 1979; parkland fees in 1991; sewer fees in 1993 and traffic fees in 2005. Those fees have been updated since their implementation. To illustrate the way traffic, water, sewer and parkland development impact fees are derived, Brewer presented these examples. If the city anticipated the equivalent of 2,000 new dwelling units over the next 20 years, and $10 million of street improvements would be needed to accommodate those units, the traffic development impact fee would be $5,000 after the $10 million figure was divided by the 2,000 equivalent dwelling units, or EDUs. In a time of slowed growth, those EDUs could be reduced.

Supervisor Burt Bundy said Jefferson would still have to deal with federal regulations even if it left California behind. Knorr said he believed the new state could hold federal agencies to only enforcing federal law. "I hope we have a big legal defense fund," Bundy joked. Garton said the night was the first of several the county planned to hold in order to gather more information about the pros and cons of the separation. Asked what the Jefferson Declaration group's timetable was, Knorr responded that it was "more important to do it right than do it fast." The supervisors, absent Sandra Bruce who was on vacation, had invited the city councils of Red Bluff, Corning and Tehama to hear the informational presentation. Only Raymond Eliggi showed up from Red Bluff, and he chose to sit in the audience rather than at the dais. Corning was represented by Tony Cardenas, Willie Smith and Darlene Dickison, Tehama by James Bacquet, Robert Christison and R.E. Mitchel.

EDUs were developed, and the $10 million infrastructure costs remained the same, the traffic impact fee would double to $10,000. But because growth has slowed, infrastructure needs would also likely drop. In Brewer's final example, which he pointed out was the simplest way to explain how the fees are calculated, the 1,000 EDUs remained the same, but infrastructure costs were lowered as well, to $5 million. So the traffic impact fee would be $5,000. That example is about where Corning finds itself today, Brewer said. In 2005, the city worked under the projection that its population would grow by 2.5 percent over a 20-year period and that the city's then 307 non-residential acres would be developed as well. The city planned its infrastructure costs accordingly. In 2005 the city had about 7,000 resi- The opening prayer was offered by Woods followed by the National Anthem sung by Mitchell Sauve.

More than 370 enjoyed a good breakfast, music, the talent and kindness of the community youth and the sharing of community appreciation for 9A dents. So, in 2015, it was projected the city would have 11,470 residents. Working under the assumption that the city's population will grow by 1.5 percent over the next 20 years, city staff anticipate that "916 new dwelling units would be needed to accommodate the 2,646 new residents expected by 2033." In the proposals, city staff still assume the city's now 302 non-residential acres will still be developed during the 20-year period as it keeps residential development impact fees down. "The idea was the city didn't want to have such high costs for development impact fees for mom and pop who were just trying to build a house," Brewer said. The presentation was the first of a two-session hearing scheduled on the matter, and the City Council continued the discussion to Dec. 10. veterans.

They said this breakfast is just a small way for the community to come together to show veterans that it thanks them for their service. California asks health insurers to extend policies SACRAMENTO (AP) — California's insurance commissioner on Thursday called on health insurance companies and the state insurance exchange to extend a deadline on individual policies through 2014 after President Barack Obama announced changes to his Affordable Care Act. Commissioner Dave Jones said he asked Covered California, the state health insurance exchange, to release insurers from contracts in which they agreed to terminate policies as of Dec. 31. ''It was mistake to require that those policies be cancelled,'' Jones said.

The announcement left insurance companies scrambling to figure out their next steps. In California, Jones said more than 1.1 million customers have received notices canceling their existing coverage as of Dec. 31. He said he is calling on insurance companies to continue offering the policies because of the promise Obama previously made that no one would lose their coverage because of the health care law.
