Judge halts state work on in-home care reductions SACRAMENTO (AP) — A federal judge has ordered the state to stop preparing for anticipated cuts to California's in-home supportive services program. U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken in Oakland issued a temporary restraining order Fri- day. It stops the state from planning for automatic midyear cuts if revenue estimates don't meet bud- get projections. H.D. Palmer, the state finance spokesman, says the administration is evaluating the order. The state's In-home Supportive Services pro- gram allows seniors and disabled people to stay out of nursing homes by providing care at home. The program faces up $100 million in cuts if the state falls short of revenue projections later this month. Long-term care workers with the Service Employees International Union filed the request, saying it puts seniors at risk and violates the Amer- ican Disabilities Act.

Jerry Brown, the fairboard is looking for a way to fill the gap and keep the grounds open. Garton, in a brainstorming ses- sion with Tehama County Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin, Tehama District Fair CEO Mark Eidman and county counsel came up with the idea of a tax on unincor- porated parcels. The proposal is for a $1 or $2 tax per month. With about 33,000 parcels in Tehama County, not including cities and federal parcels, the $1 tax would be more than $350,000 a year, Garton said. At the Nov. 15 meeting, the fair- board was unable to comment on the WIND Continued from page 1A customers throughout PG&E's service territory. Utility crews have restored power to almost 90 per- cent of about 500,000 PG&E customers whose service was impacted by the storm. Brisk breezes are fore- cast to pick up again late tonight in the Sacramento Valley and Bay Area and persist into the afternoon on Saturday, Dec. 3. Although wind speeds are likely to remain in the range of 25 to 35 mph, well below the conditions of the past few days, a moderate amount of out- ages can be expected. With diminished winds today, crews have been able to reach some of the hardest hit areas. As of 1 p.m. Friday, about 51,000 PG&E customers were still without power, mostly in Santa Cruz and from Fresno to North Chico.

City Hall continues to be closed every other Fri- day due to the layoffs. On issue as it was not on the agenda, so the item is being brought back to the Dec. 5 meeting for discussion. Board President Bob Kerstiens Jr. is hopeful the public will attend and give input, he said. Monday's meeting is set for 1 p.m. in the Tehama Room at the fairgrounds. Assistant County Counsel Arthur Wylene was directed to do research on what was needed to put the tax on the November 2012 ballot. A two-thirds vote would be needed for the measure to pass, and would have a five-year cap, Garton said. "Our concern is first, will the fair- board support this and secondly, will the community support this and shall we move forward with doing the research," Garton said at the Nov. 15 meeting. "I'd love to get some com- ments from the community." PG&E mobilized addi- tional crews to help with restoration in these areas.

Republi- cans note that California voters turned down the last seven tax increase proposals that were on the ballot, and Brown could face compet- ing tax initiatives from groups that want to raise taxes even higher. At least five tax initiative proposals are gathering sig- natures in hopes of appear- ing on the ballot in 2012. The plans run the gamut from increasing income taxes on most Californians to targeting only the rich. Attorney Molly Munger, the daughter of Charles Munger, a longtime finan- cial partner of Warren Buf- fett, is leading an initiative that would impose a sliding scale income tax hike to raise $10 billion for Califor- nia schools.
