SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 A program of Tehama County Neighborhood Watch Program, Inc. Setting it straight The article entitled “Board vote irks county employees” contained an error. The amount current- ly stipulated as the employee share portion paid to CalPERS is 18 percent. Until Tuesday, the county was paying the full 18 percent. After the board vote, county employees will be paying 3 percent and the county will pay 15 percent. This is not an addition to an employee share. Thursday’s front page story about Red Bluff approving rezoning for a homeless shelter should be clarified that Tuesday’s approval is just the first reading of the resolution. A second reading and final approval will take place at the March 1 City Council meeting.
