Union members cur- rentlyareinthesecondyear of a three-year contract that included across-the-board pay raises of 3 percent for the2014-15schoolyear.Un- der that contract, salaries forsubsequentyearshadto be renegotiated. The faculty association sought a 5 percent sal- ary increase for 2015-16 along with a 2.7 percent pay bump based on years of service. The university offered raises of 2 percent — the same increase it had given other employees. CSU is the nation's larg- est public university sys- tem, with about 460,000 students. It has not been subject to a full faculty strike since system-wide collective bargaining be- gan in the early 1980s. Union members autho- rized strikes in 2007, 2011 and 2012. Strikes were averted in 2007 and 2012 when negotiators for the administration and the union reached settlements. A one-day walkout was staged at two campuses in 2011. CSU FROMPAGE1 "I love rodeo, the Round- Up and this time of year," Gowan said. "This is the be- ginning of 30 events over the next 11 days. The 11 days of events are great, but it all ties in to the three-day ro- deo." Credit goes to the Te- hama District Fairboard for hosting the event, Gowan said. The ability to host the event really goes to the be- nevolence of the commu- nity, especially the Tehama County Board of Supervi- sors, which stepped up to help make sure the doors stayed open when the fair- grounds came close to clos- ing after the state cut fund- ing, Durrer said. Fairboard CEO Mandy Staley was introduced to attendees. Staley is a Cot- tonwood resident. Round-Up President John Trede spoke on behalf of the association, welcom- ing the group. "This committee works hard all year and it's all volunteer," Trede said. "It's something for the commu- nity to stand on." Trede spoke briefly of the program the associa- tion provides in which pro- fessional cowboys speak to children at various schools in the county.

Poultry FROM PAGE 1 Public Health Divi- sion programs offered that focus on the preven- tion of bad health behav- iors at an early age are nutrition education pro- grams and drug and alco- hol programs, Sagar said. The goal is to encour- age healthy behavior at a young age that will last a lifetime. The specific efforts made to prevent these health is- sues and provide resources and services by the agency include engaging youth to develop their own drug and alcohol prevention ef- forts, working with retail- ers to reduce tobacco ad- vertising and working with expectant mothers during and right after pregnancy. Some keys to making a healthier county are to reducing the incidences of drunk driving and adult obesity, reducing the num- ber of children in poverty and getting people con- nected to health insur- ance and jobs, according to the release.

By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press SACRAMENTO The Cal- ifornia Legislature's non- partisan analyst estimates the state's pollution tax has raised gasoline prices by 11 cents per gallon and diesel prices by 13 cents, accord- ing to a month-old letter re- leased on Thursday. The pollution tax costs drivers collectively about $2 billion a year, Legisla- tive Analyst Mac Taylor said. His staff calculated the estimate in response to questions from Assembly- man Tom Lackey, R-Palm- dale, who is pushing legis- lation that would require the state to report more de- tailedinformationaboutthe costs to drivers. "These impartial esti- mates confirm that Cal- ifornians are paying sig- nificantly higher prices," Lackey said in a state- ment. Consumers may not have noticed much impact at the pump because the pollution taxcameatatimewhengas priceswereplummetingna- tionally.TheU.S.averagefor agallonofgasolinedropped from $3.26 per gallon at the beginning of 2014 to $2.14 a year later, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. California launched the pollution-restriction pro- gram in 2012 and began applying it to gas and die- sellastyear.Knownas"cap- and-trade," the program is designed to control emis- sions of heat-trapping gases and to spur investment in clean technologies. It limits how much pollution busi- nesses can spew, making them buy permits. The program creates a marketplace for carbon emissions and incentives to reduce greenhouse gas- ses. The marketplace puts a price on carbon emissions andcapshowmuchindivid- ual polluters are allowed to release. Businesses are re- quired to either cut emis- sions to the cap levels or buy allowances from other companies for each metric ton of carbon spewed over the cap each year. The carbon-reduction program generates billions of dollars a year for efforts to fight climate change. A large portion of the money is dedicated to California's high-speed rail line and other transportation proj- ects. Stanley Young, a spokes- man for the Air Resources Board, which administers the program, said the esti- mate of a price spike of 11 to13centsisconsistentwith expectations.
