Forest more than doubles BELDEN (AP) — Dry conditions and rocky terrain are hampering efforts to contain a fire in the Plumas National Forest in Northern California that is threaten- ing dozens of structures, including trailer homes. Fire officials said Thursday the Chips fire near Belden about 120 miles north of Sacramento has con- sumed almost 4 square miles since it began on July 29. It is 5 percent contained. High temperatures, low humidity and strong winds fueled the fire on Wednesday, more than doubling its size. Fire in Plumas National Officials say 44 buildings, including 25 residences in a nearby community and trailer park, are under threat. An evacuation order is in place. Meanwhile, another fire to the west in the Plumas National Forest has been fully contained. The Peak Fire near Beckwourth consumed 1 1/4 square miles. SACRAMENTO (AP) — The politically influential California Nurs- es Association on Thursday announced its support for Gov. Jerry Brown's November tax initiative and handed over a $1 million contribution to his campaign. Brown's initiative would temporar- ily raise the state sales tax by a half cent for five years and increase income taxes for people who make more than $250,000 a year for seven years to help balance the state budget. The Democratic governor told The Associated Press in a telephone inter- view that the nurses' support is critical because the union can mobilize thou- sands of nurses for the campaign. ''The activism of the nurses will be very crucial to a victory in Novem- ber,'' he said. The union was a strong supporter of Brown in his 2010 gubernatorial race, staging animated rallies in which people dressed as royalty mocked his wealthy Republican opponent, Meg Whitman.

DAVIS (AP) — The police chief at the Univer- sity of California, Davis, overruled an internal affairs panel's recommen- dation and fired a lieu- tenant who soaked demon- strators with pepper spray — an incident that sparked protests after it was recorded and posted online, according to docu- ments obtained by a news- paper. The Sacramento Bee own merits. ''Either we get more money for the schools or we have to cut back the schools. It's an either/or proposition,'' Brown said Thursday. ''It's not in rela- tion to any other proposition or any politician or any other topic of state government. ... ''It's the only time I've really seen where you vote yes and $6 billion to $9 billion goes to schools and balances our budget, or three weeks of school disappear and the universities and the state colleges lose billions.'' The $91.3 billion budget Brown signed into law in June includes $6 bil- lion in automatic cuts that would take effect if voters reject his initiative. The cuts would include a shortened school year and less money for local law had underreported the amount of money in two of its special funds by nearly $54 million should not affect the fate of the tax initiative, Brown said. He had the same opinion of the news that the state Legislature had granted generous pay raises to more than 1,000 staffers. He said the initiative stands on its reports that investigators concluded Lt. John Pike acted reasonably during the Nov. 18 campus protest and should face demotion or suspension at worst. Matthew rejected those findings and wrote Pike on April 27 that he planned to fire him. Pike, 39, was fired Tues- day, according to the Bee.

RoseAnn DeMoro, executive direc- tor of the nurses union, said she believes raising more tax revenue will help end some of the ''phenomenal suffering'' in California. ''This is kind of billionaires against the rest of us. That's what it's come down to — a real polarized nation, a polarized state,'' she said.

Pike and the university declined to comment to the Bee. The internal affairs report concedes the widely viewed video showing Pike spraying seated pro- testers is disturbing. But investigators con- cluded that Pike, who was interviewed for the internal affairs report, repeatedly warned students protesting tuition hikes that they would be pepper-sprayed if they didn't leave the area. Even before the inci- dent, the report says Pike had concerns about the operation, and about uni- versity officials' plans to remove the protesters. You DO have a choice in the Red Bluff area.
