We realize there are equally important issues but we also know this is Red Bluff and if you have a worthy project people will respond.” Superintendent of Schools Larry Champion was on hand to show his support for the theater, which has frequently been used for school field trips. “It’s a great venue for our kids,” Champion said.

I won the bike I first learned to ride on here while watching the movie Short Circuit.” GOP leader says state should adopt Texas' jobs model SACRAMENTO (AP) — Reflecting on lessons learned on a two-day trip to the Lone Star state, Assem- bly Republicans said Thursday California needs to follow Texas' model of lower taxes and fewer regu- lations and legal hurdles to keep the economy grow- ing. GOP lawmakers led a delegation of California representatives to meet with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, and spoke to business owners about why they left Califor- nia last week. Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway of Tulare said the trip affirmed her caucus is on the right track with a pack- age of bills she says would help California companies thrive. The Republican package of bills includes tax exemptions and credits for businesses and would repeal regulations they say are burdensome. "I think in Texas we learned that Gov. Perry understands job creation is an important part of solv- ing your state's budget problems," Conway said during a news conference held at a fast-food restau- You are Cordially Invited to Red Bluff Garden Club’s “Elegant Affair” 50th Annual Standard Flower Show Tehama Co.

Despite Perry's econom- ic development strategy Texas is not without finan- cial troubles. The state faces a $27 billion deficit over two years, and the state's nonpartisan Legisla- tive Budget Board released data showing the state would lose 335,000 jobs in the public and private sec- tors if a bare-bones budget proposal with massive cuts to education and health care for the poor became law. Republicans pointed to Carl's Jr. as a company threatening to move its headquarters from Califor- nia to Texas because of dif- ficulties doing business. Andrew Puzder, CEO of CKE Restaurants, parent company of Carl's Jr., accompanied lawmakers on the Texas trip as well as two Democrats, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani of Tracy. Board member Bob Douglas said his involve- ment was for preserving a place that had first memories for so many residents, especially since he knows of a the- ater in Bakersfield that was just like the State Theatre and is no longer around. BROWN Continued from page 1A "It's a choice that the peo- ple have a right to make. You can't tell the people of Cali- fornia, 'Shut up, we don't want to hear from you,'" he said. Brown told reporters that nothing was off the table in order to get the Republican votes needed for a ballot measure on tax extensions — including pension reform and a spending cap. When asked if he would consider a second, separate voter ballot measure on pen- sion reform, Brown said all alternatives were up for con- sideration as long as it would get both sides talking again. "I think that's all a part of the discussion. I'm open to anything," he said. "I put no preconditions to meeting with the Republican law- makers. Anything they want, whether it's pension reform, capping, regulatory form, I'm listening. Even agricul- tural issues, I'm listening." Brown said he was opti- For more information on the State Theatre or the organization, visit www.StateTheatreRed- Bluff.com. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynew s.com. mistic that lawmakers would ultimately find a compro- mise despite the current stalemate. "Some of the Republi- cans as recently as the night before last said, 'We're going to get there.' I've been speak- ing with these Republicans frequently, so within the last 48 hours I heard from a cou- ple of them some very posi- tive — but by no means definitive — comments," he said.

The institute found that 56 percent of likely voters favor a special election giv- ing the electorate the right to decide key budget questions, while 61 percent support Brown's plan to balance the budget through a mix of cuts and taxes. But that does not mean voters would endorse the Democratic governor's proposal entirely. Two-thirds of likely vot- ers surveyed said they oppose raising personal- income taxes to maintain current funding for schools, and nearly as many oppose higher sales taxes to pay for schools. Instead, six in 10 favor raising income taxes on top earners to fund edu- cation. Parent and local PTA official Heidi Pyle, of Coro- na, said she was extremely concerned about her youngest daughter's future and had watched the public school education shrink in the past decade. "It would just be great to see that my 9-year-old will have the same opportunities that my 21-year-old had, and right now I don't see the equal opportunity that this child is getting compared to my first child," she said as her daugh- ter, Kati-Lynn, listened. "That's all parents want is to have our children do better and be better than what the generation before had."
