Kashkari was working at Goldman Sachs in San Francisco at the time. Under Paulson, he was soon asked to head the Troubled Asset Relief Program, in which the federal government helped prop up the country's major banks as the recession deepened. Kashkari describes himself as a social moderate who supports gay marriage and abortion rights — positions that could be advantageous in overwhelmingly Democratic California. Republicans now make up less than 30 percent of the electorate in the state. The state's new primary system, in which the top two vote-getters move on to the general election regardless of party affiliation, means he does not have to face the hard-right conservatives who used to dominate California's GOP primaries. Kashkari outlined his political philosophy during an interview last month with The Associated Press. ''What I would want to pursue is the opposite of trickle-down economics, but it's empowering those at the bottom,'' he said. ''So I think that the kind of solutions that I would come out with will strongly resonate with Republicans, and with independents and with moderate Democrats.'' Kashkari joins Republican Assemblyman Tim Donnelly as declared major candidates in the race. Donnelly is a tea party favorite and gun-rights advocate who lives in the San Bernardino Mountains community of Twin Peaks. Former Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, another Republican moderate, dropped his campaign last week. Brown enjoys strong popularity ratings among potential voters and poses a formidable challenge for any candidate, let alone one such as Kashkari who is untested on the campaign trail. Voters approved the governor's tax increases in 2012 and the state's economy is on the rebound, fac- tors that have led to projected budget surpluses after years of multibillion dollar deficits. Kashkari's role heading the Troubled Asset Relief Program from 2008 to 2009 is likely to be one of his biggest liabilities. His campaign team already has sought to blunt possible attacks, noting that the federal government has collected $435.8 billion from program recipients who initially were paid $422.2 billion. Democrats have sought to portray Kashkari as the inexperienced architect of a program that helped bail out the rich. ''This is a Goldman Sachs banker who thinks giving hundreds of billions to Wall Street banks was more successful than the New Deal or the minimum wage,'' Dan Newman, a political spokesman for Brown, said last month. While building a political platform centered on Republican themes such as reducing regulations and creating incentives to boost the economy and fix schools, Kashkari has sought advice from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the Hoover Institution. He has visited food banks and stayed overnight at a homeless shelter as part of his political education. Although he does not have much of a track record for voters to study, Kashkari previously told the AP he would work to build relationships in the Legislature as he did in Washington. He voted for President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in 2008, at the height of the financial crisis because of the superior economic advice he said Obama received. Kashkari worked in the aerospace industry before opting to get an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He took a mental timeout after the stress of working in Washington, he said, before re-emerging to work for Newport Beach-based bond investment company Pimco until 2013, when he left to consider running for office. CA court upholds mother's right to spank daughter SAN JOSE (AP) — A California court has sided with a mother who was placed on a state child abuse database after spanking her 12-year-old daughter. The mother, Veronica Gonzalez, was reported for child abuse after she spanked her daughter with a wooden spoon, causing bruises. The Santa Clara Department of Social Services submitted the incident for inclusion in the state Justice Department's Child Abuse Central Index, which is used to screen prospective adoptive or foster care parents and child care workers. Gonzalez argued at trial that no consideration was given to her parental right to impose reasonable discipline on her child, who was slacking off in school.

Emergency drought bill to be introduced FRESNO (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner is scheduled to visit the Central Valley of California on Wednesday, joining three Republican colleagues to propose emergency legislation aimed at drought relief, a congressional aide said Tuesday. At the Bakersfield, Calif., stop, Boehner will join Rep. Devin Nunes of Tulare, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield and Rep. David Valadao of Hanford. The lawmakers are expected to announce a bill that seeks to halt the restoration of the San Joaquin River through 2015. Boehner's visit follows Friday's announcement by Gov. Jerry Brown formally declaring California's drought. Two other parts of the proposed bill would allow farmers to pump irrigation water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and to form a joint HouseSenate committee to tackle long-term water woes. The proposed legislation will likely receive pushback. Restoration of the San Joaquin River has caused fierce battles span- ning years that have pit farmers in need of irrigation water against groups that wish to bring the salmon runs back to historic levels. As the nation's leading farming state, California could be in its worst dry spell in a century, unless significant rain falls within the next two months. The parched weather could also wreak havoc during California's notorious wildfire season. The San Joaquin River starts in the Sierra Nevada east of Fresno and collects at the Friant Dam into Millerton Lake. It flows a few miles after the dam but dries up. The river resumes downstream with water from the Merced, Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers, which each have salmon population. Restoration of the San Joaquin River is estimated to cost $1 billion in federal funds. Among the difficulties, some former river bottom has subsided from pumping, and engineers will need to find ways to send the water uphill along its previous route. Farmland may end up flooding. Report: Phone calls unanswered at jobless agency SACRAMENTO (AP) — Most callers needing help with unemployment benefits just get a recording at the California Employment Development Department, a newspaper reported Tuesday. As many as 90 percent of callers seeking information about missed payments or unprocessed claims are directed to the department website or an automated self-service phone number instead of reaching a live worker, the Los Angeles Times said citing agency phone records. In many cases, the callers are redirected to options they already tried without success, the Times said. ''I'm overdue on every bill I have due to the negligence or incompetence'' of the department, said Robert Rowe, a laid-off aerospace worker whose $450-a-week payments stopped in December. Rowe, 55, said he's behind on mortgage payments and car payments and is having trouble paying for insulin to treat his diabetes. ''I haven't been able to get through to anyone,'' he said. ''It's a chase-thetail-in-a-circle thing.'' The troubles with customer service follow the bungled debut of an upgraded computer system four months ago that delayed payments to about 150,000 people. The department then began processing some claims by hand and reassigned employees from phone lines to speed up that effort. That placed further strain on a system that already Judge: Protect wild fish from hatchery operations PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A judge has ordered federal fish managers to do more to ensure that hatchery fish don't harm wild salmon and steelhead on the Sandy River this year. Federal Judge Ancer Haggerty's ruling could jeopardize the release of hundreds of thousands of juvenile fish from the Sandy Hatchery this spring — and mean fewer fish returning to the river for anglers to catch between 2015 and 2017, the Oregonian reported Tuesday. Similar lawsuits cover other rivers in Oregon and in California. In their suit, two conservation groups argued too many hatchery fish interbreed with wild fish. Conservation groups argue that hatchery fish lack genetic diversity and are less well adapted to survive in the wild, especially as the climate changes. The removal of two Sandy River dams in 2007 and 2008 opened spawning areas but eliminated the barrier used to separate wild and hatchery fish. ''There is very little evidence to suggest a hatchery can restore a wild population of fish, and the Sandy Hatchery is generally not intended to achieve any recovery goals.'' Haggerty wrote in a decision handed down last week. ''Rather, it is undisputed that hatchery operations can pose a host of risks to wild fish.'' Liz Hamilton, executive director of the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association, described the ruling as a ''huge concern.'' ''That two-year period would be like a desert for the businesses that depend on the fisheries in that river,'' Hamilton said. The Native Fish Society based in Oregon City and the McKenzie Fly Fishers based in Eugene sued the federal service, which approves Oregon's hatchery operation plans.

From Oct. 6 to Jan. 4, the department received an average of 3.9 million calls a week, and 83 percent to 90 percent went unanswered by a live employee on any given day, according to agency phone records. Some callers had to dial more than 40 times to reach an agent. The federal government covers most of the state's cost to administer the unemployment insurance program, but deep cuts have reduced the department's staff from a high of 3,800 during the recession to 2,500 at the end of November, spokeswoman Loree Levy said. THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column 27 January 1943) The author of the popular book "I ESCAPED FROM HONG KONG" saw thousands of white people, including Americans tortured and slain by the Japs who seemed to enjoy watching their victims suffer. The closing paragraph of his book is worth calling to your attention. "We must remember one thing: We must fight every day of the week 24 hours a day, for unless we win we cannot hope to live in the world we have created for ourselves." *** Redding not only gets more state and federal agencies than we do but they get more rain also…and last week, while we received 7 inches of snow Redding received 3 times as much. *** Of 6000 conscientious objectors placed in camps since the outbreak of this war, half of them are members of the Jehovah's Witnesses. *** The work days lost in shipyards and aviation factories by workers who just stay home and offer no excuses for their absence is getting to be a serious problem. According to reports there does not seem to be anything that can be done to stop it. My suggestion would be that whenever a man is absent from work without a valid excuse, he be called before the draft board and let them discuss whether he can be of more service to his country working now and then in the shipyards…or in an Army camp where he would report every day for duty. At our plant, I can't recall a man being absent from work a single day if it was physically possible for him to get to work. *** Frank McCoy thinks our town must be better known than we think. His folks in Ireland sent him a letter addressed only to Frank McCoy, Red Bluff, and it was delivered to him without "California" or UnitedStates of America on the envelope. (Note: This was even more difficult than my father knew, for Frank's last name was actually spelled McCaughy. RM) *** If the Senate does not adapt some plan to forgive part of last year's taxes and bring tax paying up to date, some day there will be a reckoning when earnings suddenly drop and the previous year's taxes cannot be paid. The majority of all defense bonds will then have to be dumped on the market in order to pay the due taxes. The biggest handicap to our war efforts today may well be the mental attitude of the American people caused by sugar coating the war news they are reading which leads them to believe that the war will be over soon, that the Germans are about to crack up, that the Japs have practically lost all their navy…and that it is time to beginning planning what we will do when the war is over. Truth is that the war will never be won by us while we think along these lines. (To be continued).
