The California Depart- ment of Fish and Game data show approximately 11 mil- lion fish were caught, or sal- vaged, in screens at the Delta's pumps between Jan- uary and September. Salvage figures show 8.9 million splittail, a native California fish, were caught this year at the pumps, a sharp rise from the 5.5 mil- lion salvaged in 2006, and the largest number since 1980. The Central Valley Pro- ject and State Water Project pumps in the Delta export water to farms in the San Joaquin Valley and urban water users in southern Cal- ifornia. Government officials said the large number of fish seen this year at the pumps TAX Continued from page 1A March, is one of the city's Top 25 Producers.

At 1:06 p.m. Friday, Red Bluff Police received a call from a 50- year-old man in the 800 block of Kimball Road in Red Bluff about a threat from his 35-year-old step-son, Troy Gannom, Red Bluff Police Sgt. Quintan Ortega said. Logs show that Gannom reportedly threatened to kill his step-father. On Saturday, deputies returned to Chevrolet in August 2010, which decreased sales receipt returns in the autos and transportation indus- try, according to the report. Still, HdL predicts the city could receive an esti- mated $2,427,189 in returns for 2011. Based on the HdL pre- diction, the city has con- servatively budgeted for $2,411,063 in sales tax revenues for the general fund, Finance Director Sandy Ryan said. She is fairly confident the city will reach that amount. Other good news included in the HdL report is that big box stores are planning smaller facilities, which opens the opportu- nities for smaller market areas such as Red Bluff. Maybe that will bring more businesses to town, the scene and found Gannom who had been hiding in a trailer. Gannom was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon and an outstanding warrant. Charges on the sheriff's website include obstructing or resisting arrest and failure to appear on writ- ten promise. Bail was set at $33,000. Gannom was involved in an earli- er incident Aug. 8 in which he missed a curve in the road on Paskenta Road, north of Rancho Tehama Road, and crashed a 1992 Ford Ranger into a fence. The incident was reported to Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol and when Ryan said. State efforts to tax Internet sales may increase revenues through the county use tax alloca- tion pool, but the city is not expecting to get any of that income at this time, Ryan said. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.co m. officers attempted to contact Gan- nom at a Huckleberry Road resi- dence, he ran off into the hills. A few days later on Aug. 12, Gannom's mother reported her son might be a danger to himself. Gan- nom was spotted near Tractor Sup- ply on South Main Street, but when officers attempted to contact him, he fled the area. He was later caught in the 300 block of James Avenue and arrested on the charge of obstructing or resisting a public officer. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.

Tony Strickland, R- Thousand Oaks. ''There's going to be revolt among ratepayers.'' Strickland was one of the few Republicans who sup- ported the bill establishing the 33 percent renewable energy standard for utilities. David Wolfe, legislative director for Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an anti-tax group, said renew- ing the surcharge meant siphoning $3.2 billion from residents and businesses over the next eight years, an amount that families cannot afford right now. ''This was a massive win for California taxpayers,'' is normal in a water-abun- dant year. ''We've found that when we have a wet year like this year, we are up to our eye- balls in splittails,'' said Dr. Ted Sommer, a program manager with the California Department of Water Resources, the agency which runs the State Water Project.

''It would have been an egregious hit to con- sumers and people looking for jobs in an uncertain eco- nomic climate.'' The bill, AB724 by Assemblyman Steven Brad- ford, D-Gardena, failed in the Senate, 19-17, with some Democrats and Republicans voting no or abstaining. A companion bill, SB870 by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, that would have provided oversight for the surcharge passed the Assembly on a simple majority vote but was not taken up in the Senate before the session ended last week. The public goods charge was intended to promote energy efficiency work as the state deregulated the electric industry in the 1990s. The surcharge has been modified in the past and the structure was last reviewed by lawmakers in Record fish numbers salvaged in Calif. water pumps facilities or die while being handled by humans and trucked to release sites.

Under Brown's proposal, the surcharge would have allocated $228 million for energy efficiency, $65.5 mil- lion for renewable energy, and $62.5 million for research and development. ''If the public sector pulls back, it sends a bad message to the private sector that we might not be interested in this any longer,'' said Dan Kalb, California policy man- ager for the Union of Con- cerned Scientists. ''I don't think that's the message we want to send.'' The governor could look to pass the surcharge with- out a two-thirds vote of the Legislature but it's not clear what he plans to do next. Among some politically dif- ficult alternatives: The Pub- lic Utilities Commission, which directs the programs, could raise fees administra- tively, or the Legislature could rewrite the bill in way that requires a simple major- ity vote. ''Gov. Brown will side- step the usual partisan paral- ysis and pursue a path for- ward that will help put Cali- fornians back to work,'' wrote Brown's spokesman, Gil Duran, in an email. John White, executive director of the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies, a partnership of environmen- tal groups and private-sector clean energy companies, called the failed effort disap- pointing. With earlier plan- ning and negotiating, he said the governor could try again for a two-thirds vote to extend the surcharge. ''In retrospect we started too late and the process did- n't provide enough opportu- nity for an agreement to be reached,'' White said. ''But I'm optimistic.'' P.A.T.H.
