Albert Elmer Henderson, Jr. Albert Elmer Henderson, Jr. of Red Bluff died Thursday, Jan. 5, 2012, in Red Bluff. He was 87. Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service is handling the arrangements. Published Friday, Jan. 6, 2012, in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. Brown promises funds for Calif. police in tax push SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown is telling California county officials he will make good on his promise to provide adequate funding for a new law that sends inmates convicted of lower-level offenses to county jails instead of state prisons. County supervisors fear they won't have enough money to handle an estimated 26,000 additional inmates each year. They are pursuing a November bal- lot initiative to guarantee state funding. The Democratic governor is seeking the same protec- tions with his own ballot initiative. On Thursday, he asked the association representing California's 58 counties to stop its campaign plans and support his instead. Brown's request comes as he tries to persuade other inter- est groups to drop their efforts to put tax increases on the fall ballot. He wants voters to consider just one tax proposal. days before the governor had said he would release it. The governor's office estimates the total general fund budget for the coming year at $92.5 billion, about $7 billion more than the current year. The general fund pays the day-to-day operations of California government and is where the budget has been in deficit. To address California's ongoing shortfall, Brown is trying to gather support for a November ballot initiative that would raise the income tax on those making $250,000 or more a year and boost the state sales tax by a half cent. The higher taxes would raise about $7 billion a year and expire in 2017, a date by which Brown hopes the economy has improved enough to bring a healthy flow of tax revenue back to the state. If voters reject those tax increases, Brown's budget says he will call for an auto- matic cut of $4.8 billion from public education. That is equal to three weeks of school. Earlier Thursday, Brown told reporters ''there'll be a lot of cuts'' if his initiative fails. ''Cuts are never nice, because government does a lot of good things. But we'll have the tax measure pro- posal, we'll have some cuts, and then we'll have some trigger cuts in the event that the tax measure does not succeed,'' he said. The release of the budget for the coming year comes as California enacts $1 bil- lion in so-called trigger cuts across a wide array of state programs, including higher education, busing for K-12 students and services for the disabled. Those midyear cuts were necessary because tax revenue was coming in much lower than Brown and Democratic lawmakers had anticipated when they passed the cur- rent budget last summer. The Democratic gover- nor said he is willing to call for more automatic cuts if revenue misses the mark again in the current year. But any cuts the state will make are likely to be felt more deeply than in years past. Since the reces- sion began in 2007, Califor- nia has seen tax revenue drop $17 billion, necessitat- ing continued cutbacks to nearly all state services. If voters approve his bal- lot proposal for higher taxes, Brown will address the $9.2 billion deficit in the coming fiscal year with a near equal balance of spending cuts and revenue increases. If they do not, the state would make $4.8 bil- lion in additional cuts to the the role will not be an option. "I certainly don't want to do it, nor am I quali- fied," Flynn said. Prior to the closed ses- sion will be an open meet- ing that will highlight some of the accomplish- ments each of the depart- ments had in 2011. Also, on the agenda is a budget workshop that Flynn encourages city employees and the general public to attend. It will be an informal planning ses- sion that will allow the public to give input on the city's budget. No final decisions on the budget will be made the at the meeting. "It's just a working ses- sion. We won't even sit on the dais," Flynn said. The first-of-its-kind workshop is an idea Coun- cilman Bob Carrel had when he was mayor. Hav- had been cultivating, Gardner said. High was stabbed during the ordeal. Simpson's plan to have High killed was foiled when the cell mate notified sheriff's officials. Detec- tives investigated and developed enough information to arrest Simp- son for plotting to kill High, Gard- ner said. "We believe (Simpson) attempted to have the victim killed so that he ing the community be a part of the budget plan- ning process is something Carrel said would be good, Flynn said.

The initial attempted robbery case, which was set for trial in Feb- ruary, is still going forward but may be delayed because of the new charges. An additional $1 million was added Wednesday to Simpson's bail, bringing his total bail amount to $1,750,000. Proposed funding cuts Gov. Jerry Brown's budget proposes $4.2 billion in cuts and adds $1.1 billion to the state's reserves, as well as revenues he hopes to generate from his proposed temporary increases in the sales tax and income taxes on the wealthy. The cuts Brown proposed include: Health and Human Services: — $946.2 million in cuts to CalWORKs, the state's main welfare program by reducing assistance to families who are not meeting work requirements. — $842.3 million in cuts to Medi-Cal, California's health care program for the poor by merging service delivery for those who are eligible or both Medi-Cal and Medicare. — $163.8 million in cuts to In-Home Supportive Ser- vices by eliminating domestic assistance for people in shared living arrangements. — $86.9 million in cuts to other health and human services programs. Education: — $544.4 million in cuts to education funding under Proposition 98 by eliminating supplemental funding for schools associated with the elimination of the sales tax on gasoline and other adjustments to the state's educa- tion funding guarantee. — $446.9 million in cuts to state-funded child care programs by reducing assistance to families who are not meeting work requirements. — $301.7 million in cuts to the Cal Grant student loan program by reducing grants for students attending pri- vate and other cuts. —$28 million in other education funding cuts. Other reductions: — Repealing or suspending many state mandates on local governments that Brown believes are unnecessary and burdensome, saving $828 million. The governor proposed another $5.4 billion in so- called trigger cuts that would take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, if voters do not approve his tax initiative on the Novem- ber ballot. Some of those additional cuts include: — Another $4.8 billion in education funding, which is equivalent to three weeks of school. — $200 million each to the University of California and California State University systems. — $125 million to state courts. — $15 million to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. — $6.6 million to flood control programs. — $1 million to park rangers. — $1 million to game wardens. — $1 million to lifeguards. Proposals for increased funding: — $15.9 million for the California High-Speed Rail Authority, including $6.8 million in administrative support Brown says is needed for legal analysis, accounting, staff, IT services, environmental planning and financial consulting. — $25 million and 135 jobs to complete primary engi- neering work on the Delta Habitat Conservation and Conveyance Program, which is developing a habitat recovery plan for endangered and sensitive fish and wildlife in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. — Authorizes the state to spend about $1 billion the state is estimated to bring in in the first year of its cap- and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for things such as clean energy, natural resource protec- tion and sustainable infrastructure. K-12 system, $200 million each to the University of California and California State University systems, $125 million to courts and $15 million to state forest fire protection. Even before voters weigh in on the tax initia- tive, Brown's budget includes $4.2 billion in cuts to the state's welfare-to- work program, Medi-Cal and child care services. He said the cuts to social ser- vice programs mean recipi- ents will have the same amount of money in real terms as they did in the 1980s. ''Were making some very painful reductions,'' Brown said during the Thursday news conference. ''This is not nice stuff.''

The education cuts to be enacted if voters fail to pass the tax increases would undermine Brown's plans to fully fund public schools and make systematic edu- cation reforms. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D- Sacramento, said he takes issue with Brown's pro- posed cuts to welfare and social programs for the poor. He said he wants to wait a few months to see if the economy continues to improve. ''We're not going to rush to make any of these deci- sions, especially on the cuts side,'' he told reporters right after the governor delivered his budget. He says teachers and students and needy have been impacted by cuts and believes voters will be sup- portive of Brown's tax pro- posal. ''Enough of bloodlet- ting,'' he said. Brown, who failed to reach a compromise with Republicans last year, indi- cated he would once again bypass the minority party and pass the bulk of his spending plan with Democ- ratic support. Jim Nielsen, vice chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, called the gov- ernor's plan of raising taxes ''business as usual'' by Democrats. The Republi- can from Gerber criticized the governor for not impos- ing spending restraints, such as a spending cap. Brown told reporters last week that he wanted to pro- tect school funding as much as possible and that schools could expect to receive even more money than last year, after several successive years of deep cuts. Brown said his budget proposal also includes ''some bold moves.'' It would provide seed funding for the much-criti- cized $98 billion high- speed rail line, statewide water projects, greenhouse gas reductions and clean- energy initiatives. The gov- ernor said supporting such efforts was crucial to main- tain California's history of innovation. ''This is a strong, confi- dent investment in the future of California,'' he said. ''This is a state that's dynamic, it's creative, and it's prosperous.'' Over 50 years of serving Tehama County Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792
