He never applied for unem- ployment benefits, so ‘‘I’m one of the numbers they don’t count.’’ Calderon said the jobless rate doesn’t reflect the true employment picture because many workers are like him — employed, but underemployed, and scraping to pay their mortgage and keep up with the high price of gasoline. ‘‘I’ve been working with different people, but it’s not the same, and we’re hurting,’’ he said. ‘‘I get what I can, but it’s not enough.

The state had slightly more than 14 million non- farm payroll jobs in April, according to a survey of busi- nesses, and that number has increased by only about 1 per- cent, or 144,400 jobs, since April 2010. ‘‘That’s roughly keeping up with population growth,’’ Michael said.

POT Continued from page 1A to stringently regulate the zoning and implementa- tion of them. Commissioner Lynn DeFreece and Chairman Delbert David told the group that they were lean- ing toward a straight ban while Vice Chairwoman Kim Tipton and commis- sioner Tom Gano said they were more interested in regulation with some con- ditions and hesitations. Without the fifth vote of absent commissioner Don Jones, there was no conclusive opinion on the plan. Concerns strayed away from the topics of interest that were addressed in pre- vious board study ses- sions, such as requiring a medical professional to be on site to dispense the medicinal marijuana. Instead commissioners waffled over whether mar- ijuana sold in dispensaries should only come from Tehama County and dis- cussed location and dis- tance concerns. DeFreece referred to a new bill that could rede- fine distance and location requirements under state law. He asked how that would affect the county. Wylene explained that Tehama County doesn’t have to worry about the county’s distance require- ments, in relation to schools and other busi- nesses. “We’re already more RELAY Continued from page 1A raise money at the same time.” Organizers will be using partici- pants to form a human ribbon in the middle of the field at some point today, O’Connor said.

She will serve the area as ambassador for restrictive so it won’t impact what we’re doing here,” Wylene said. Another planning con- cern was that the medici- nal marijuana sold in dis- pensaries could be from anywhere. David asked if there was a way to keep track of the “chain of custody,” or record of where all the medicine goes from the source to the buyer, simi- lar to what pharmacies are required to do. There is already a requirement in state law that those medicinal mari- juana collectives that want to take advantage of the criminal defense of medic- inal use through recom- mendations, have to have a “closed loop,” which has to come from members, Wylene said. The conditions listed in the drafts require that dis- pensaries have detailed records of every patient and the entire inventory, he said. Commissioners may “beef it up” in their rec- ommendations if they want, Wylene said. Tipton wanted to know more about where the marijuana is cultivated, she said. The concept falls into the arena of commerce, Wylene said. There was discussion early on about putting in a locally-grown- only requirement, but it is difficult to enforce and a potential litigation issue, he said. “I like the idea of it,” Tipton said. The conversation drift- ed into concerns about members belonging to more than one collective, identification cards and a condition that would restrict membership to one dispensary at a time. The problem would then be that the tracking and enforcement of that clause would fall on the dispensary itself, Wylene said. There is no central- ized record keeping. Just a handful of resi- dents attended the meet- ing, and only four spoke to the commission regarding the issue. Kathy Nelson, who has previously spoken openly at board study sessions, addressed her distaste for dispensaries in general. The concept of a close- knit cooperative that closely monitors and cares for its members has given way to dispensaries that open the door for a myriad of marijuana parapherna- lia, pot-laced food and other items that show no regard for the caretaking aspect of medicinal use, she said. “Now it’s been blown way out of proportion,” she said. Her husband, Ron Nel- son, reiterated the con- cerns. The couple sees a collective as the way to monitor medicinal mari- juana use, not dispen- saries. They would like cultivation and use to stay local. “A dispensary to me is a grocery store, opening up to everything in the world,” Ron Nelson said.

There is no way to know where the marijuana comes from. “You want to find a VIN number on a plant — there is none,” he said. The other public com- ments both supported reg- ulating, not banning, dis- pensaries. Paul Ellis of Red Bluff, identified himself as a physically disabled man who wants to be able to get his medicine in a safe manner. It would be a benefit for people to not have to look up and down the streets for their medicine, he said. Richard Clapp focused on the concept of identifi- cation cards that are offered at a fee to volun- tary medicinal marijuana users. “I believe you have an obligation, especially tak- ing money for ID cards, to give people a means to get their medicine,” Clapp said. With all the discussion and some new documents submitted late to the com- mission, it opted to not make a decision Thursday.

Jerry Brown’s cam- paign promise that he would not raise taxes without a vote of the people helped him beat a billionaire Repub- lican rival who was bent on portraying him as just another tax-and-spend Democrat. While it proved a powerful campaign message, the pledge is coming back to complicate Brown’s attempt to balance the state’s budget and close a multibillion dollar deficit. The Democratic governor wants to extend a series of tax increases approved by the Legis- lature two years ago for another five years. Brown says California needs the revenue to close the remaining $9.6 billion deficit, on top of more than $11.2 billion in cuts and spending shifts that he and mostly Democratic lawmakers already have made. The state also needs to start paying of nearly $35 billion in loans, accounting gimmicks and delayed payments, he says. Having missed his deadline to have the Legislature call a special election this June, Brown is taking anoth- er run at trying to get voters to weigh in. But now his promise for a tax election is more complicated. The revised budget plan Brown presented this week shows the state with $6.6 billion in unexpected revenue through June 2012. But by the start of the new fiscal year, July 1, all the temporary increases to the sales, personal income and vehicle taxes will have expired. Is cremation your choice?
