The California Senate on Monday approved SB94, which directs the Department of Motor Vehicles to delay renewal notices for at least one month, starting with dri- vers who have registra- tions due on July 1. That’s the date a tem- porary increase in the vehicle license fee is scheduled to expire. The one-half percentage point reduction would save a driver $75 for a $15,000 car.

The former elementary school teacher represents south- ern Los Angeles County and part of Orange Coun- ty. ‘‘I’ve had gang mem- bers threaten my life,’’ he said. ‘‘I come home differ- ent times of the day and night, I do a lot of commu- nity events, I do legisla- tion on gangs ... I don’t want to say it’s dangerous, but it can be.’’ He described his dis- trict office as part of a large building that sits away from other develop- ments. “It can feel unsafe, par- ticularly when you’re out there alone on a weekend or something,” he said. Grove, a military veter- an, said she carries her weapon while driving between Bakersfield and Sacramento, often late at night. She wanted to store it at the Capitol, she said, and not carry it into the Assembly chamber itself. She said she has since Gov. Jerry Brown, have sought to extend the tax to help ease close a $15.4 billion deficit. The Assembly already approved the bill, which now goes to the governor for consideration.

While the shows have changed locations, the show has mostly remained the same and the biggest change Galantine has seen is in the members, she said. “There’s a lot less young people and the average age of club mem- bers is about 50,” Galantine said. “I was 29 when I joined and meetings were in people’s homes, but I think there’s a resurgence and people are coming back to gardening because of the green movement and we’re still a rural area.” There is no minimum age for joining the club, which meets at 1 p.m. on the last Tuesday of the month at Union Hall, 12889 Baker Road, in Red Bluff.

Mansoor said in a state- ment that he has routinely carried a concealed weapon since he joined the Orange County Sher- iff’s Department nearly 20 years ago. Valadao’s chief of staff, Tal Eslick, said the assem- blyman’s concealed carry permit was granted years ago by Kings County. Val- adao lives on a rural dairy farm and wanted the per- mit to protect himself and his family, he said. ‘‘Assemblyman Val- adao sometimes carries it in. It’s not something he does every day,’’ Eslick said. Valadao, Grove and Mansoor were elected to the Assembly in Novem- ber. Mendoza was elected in 2006. It’s unknown how many other lawmakers previously carried weapons, because they did not have to seek permis- sion until this year.
