Saturday, August 11, 2012 – Daily News It's policy and personal: Romney hammered on taxes confident that a two-pronged tax attack on Republican Mitt Romney — one part policy, one part personal — will help President Barack Obama lure pivotal support from middle class voters. Led by Obama, the Democrats are going after Romney for seeking to protect tax cuts for the wealthy and for refusing to release more information on the taxes he pays on his personal fortune. Democrats say both public and private polls suggest the double- barreled focus on taxes is giving Obama an edge in the race. The strat- egy also gives the president an avenue to campaign on the economy — the top issue for voters — while steering clear of talking about the nation's high unemployment. WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are growing increasingly (530) 225-2362 ;g, ; File No. 2012000207 STATEMENT FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME The following person(s) is (are) doing business as: Corning Valero 790 Edith Ave., Corning, CA 96021 PO Box 990280, Redding, CA 96099-0280 Redding Oil Company PO Box 990280 Three months before the election, national polls show Obama with a slight lead. And Romney will spend the coming weeks — starting Saturday with a bus tour — trying to change the trajectory of the race. In recent days, he's gone on the offensive by criticizing Obama on welfare, making his own play for middle class voters, after months of taking heat from Democrats. Redding, CA 96099-0280 The registrant commenced to transact business under the fic- titious business name or names listed above on N/A This business is conducted by: a Corporation Republicans reject the notion that Romney's $5 trillion tax cut pro- posal could hurt him in the fall. But some party operatives acknowl- edge that he is being damaged by declining to release more than two years of his own tax returns. ''I do think this has hurt the governor a little bit,'' said Steve Lom- bardo, a Republican pollster who worked on Romney's 2008 presi- dential campaign. ''Ironically, it's really less about 'rich guy' and more about transparency and honesty. So Team Romney has to find a way — if they're not going to release, which I don't think they will — they have to find a way to demonstrate honesty and transparency, attributes that people take very seriously in selecting a president.'' Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist, said the tax criticism has ''really seeped into the American psyche'' and is affecting the way voters view Romney. ''They're thinking, this is not somebody who is going to fight for me. This is not somebody who even understands the world I live in,'' said Cardona, who was a senior adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign four years ago.

''Did Romney pay 10 percent in taxes? 5 percent? Zero? We don't know,'' the narrator says. The ad will run in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio while Romney is on a bus tour through those states starting Saturday. Romney says he has paid taxes every year. But he's provided little documentation to back up his assertions. His campaign dismissed the ad and accused Obama of running ''a dirty campaign.'' On the policy front, Obama has sought to highlight the contrast between the two candidates' tax proposals. The president is pushing Congress to extend tax cuts only for fam- ilies making less than $250,000 a year (individuals making less than $200,000). He wants to let the cuts expire at the end of the year for families who make more, though they would still be taxed at the lower rate for their first $250,000 in income. Romney's tax plan calls for a full extension of the tax cuts, first passed under George W. Bush, plus an additional 20 percent cut across the board. Romney and some economists argue that raising taxes on anyone right now could send the sluggish economy back into a recession. mocked Romney's proposal as ''trickle-down tax-cut fairy dust.'' And this week he called the plan ''Romney-hood'' or ''Robin Hood in reverse.'' Surveys suggest Obama's plans resonate with voters. A Pew Research Center Poll released last month showed 44 per- cent of Americans believe raising taxes on the wealthiest would help the economy, not hurt it. Just 22 percent believe the opposite. The same poll showed that Americans believe 2-to-1 that Obama's tax proposals would make the tax system more fair, not less. Democrats say they're also buoyed by private polling in both the presidential election and competitive congressional races that shows strong voter support for the president's tax policies. One Democratic strategist said the internal polls show at least 60 percent of Americans, including independents and some Republicans, backing the notion that the wealthy should pay more in taxes and that the nation's deficit must be reduced through a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. But Obama, seeking to tap into middle class economic anxiety, has Romney's campaign, disputes the notion that Obama's arguments are gaining ground. ''The Obama campaign outspent us in June and the first half of July with all those arguments, and the numbers haven't moved any- where, even in the national polls,'' Black said. But Republican strategist Charlie Black, an informal adviser to Ag Dept unveils new steps to stop food stamp fraud WASHINGTON (AP) — The Agriculture Department says it is going to impose tougher penalties on stores that violate food stamp rules and give states new tools to root out applicants who are ineli- gible for the benefit program that now covers about 1 out of every 7 Americans. The move to shore up integrity in the program comes as Con- gress struggles to pass a $100 billion-a-year bill that will fund food stamps and determine farm policy for the next five years. Some 80 percent of the money in the farm and nutrition bill goes to the food stamp program. Department Undersecretary Kevin Concannon stressed that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program already has one of the best track records among federal programs in fighting violations, with a trafficking or abuse rate of only about 1 percent of total trans- actions. But in a program where even a small amount of abuse can amount to millions of dollars, ''we are very mindful of public con- fidence'' that only those who qualify for benefits will receive them, he said. groundwork when he claimed last week that an anonymous source told him Romney had not paid taxes for 10 years.

Giant reed and saltcedar are very aggressive in- vasive plants in the Cottonwood Creek watershed. These plants accelerate erosion and loss of topsoil when islands of invasive vegetation redirect flows onto adjacent banks increasing bank cutting and slumping. Spawning beds can be significantly im- pacted by sediment deposition, for example. The objective of the Project is to permanently control known invasive plant species occurrences in the Proj- ect Area and reduce the spread of these invasive plants in other areas of the Sacramento River watershed. No permanent roads will be cre- ated. Four-wheel drive all terrain vehicles (quads) will be used to transport supplies to treatment crews who will access target areas on foot. It is anticipated that Project work will be initiat- ed in 2012 and will continue for a total of 5 years. Implementation of this proposed action will oc- cur each year between Septem- ber 1 and October 15. Two con- trol strategies will be used to implement the Project objective. Manual Control: Small (defined as one-inch or smaller stem di- ameter) individual nonnative plants may be removed by hand using either a weed wrench or spade. Once nonnative plants are manually removed, soil will be tamped back in place. This work will create very minor soil disturbances. Herbicide Control: Glyphosate and triclopyr TEA herbicides will be used to treat nonnative plants due to their efficacy in controlling the target species, low toxicity to non-target organ- isms, and chemical properties that limits potential impacts to the environment. Formulations approved for use near water will be utilized. All treatments will be conducted by certified Applicators in compliance with product labeling and Depart- ment of Pesticide Regulation regulations. A nonylphenol polyethoxylate (NPE) surfactant may be tankmixed with the herbicides to increase efficacy. However, most terrestrial glyphosate products contain NPE surfactants as formulation constituents and do not require additional surfactants. The NPE-based surfactants im- prove foliar coverage and de- crease surface tension of the herbicide solution which facili- tates herbicide penetration through the leaf's cuticle layer. Chemical treatment methods will include hand application spot spraying of contact herbicides from backpack sprayers and cut stump treat- ments in order to minimize ex- posure to non-target plants. No aerial treatments are proposed. Project Impacts: The IS/MND has identified the following po- tentially significant impacts re- quiring mitigation measures: (1) physical or chemical impacts to elderberry plants potentially supporting valley elderberry longhorn disturbance-related impacts to foothill yellow-legged frog; (3) disturbance to wildlife, includ- ing species that may be denning or nesting at the time of treat- ments; (4) fuel spills in riparian areas; and (5) exposure of peo- ple or structures to unintention- ally ignited wildland fires. CCWG has agreed to implement Mitigation Measures developed to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the impacts listed above. Miti- gation Measures will be en- forced through the Project Streambed Alteration Agree- ment and the Mitigation Moni- toring and Reporting Plan.

All interest- ed persons are invited to appear and to be heard at said meeting. That confidence is particularly important now because of grow- ing pressure on Congress to pass a farm bill that includes the food stamp and other nutrition programs. The farm bill, which sets policy on crop subsidies and conserva- tion, has made it through Congress in the past because the link with food stamps has made it popular for lawmakers with both rural and urban constituents. With the current bill set to expire at the end of September, The Senate passed a new bill in June and the House Agriculture Committee approved a similar version in July. But House GOP leaders have declined to bring the bill to the floor for a vote, fearing that disputes over food stamps would lead to its defeat. The House bill would cut current food stamp spending by about 2 percent, or $1.6 billion, a year, mainly by cracking down on policies making it easier for states to bestow benefits. But House conservatives are demanding further cuts in the program while some Democrats say they are excessive, resulting in several million peo- ple being removed from food stamp rolls. The Senate-passed farm bill reduced food stamp spending by about $400 million a year. The food stamp program has seen participation climb from 28 million at the start of the recession to 46 million today and has become a focus of fiscally conservative lawmakers critical of government spending. Published July 31, 2012 Project Description: Cottonwood Creek Watershed Group (CCWG) proposes to remove giant reed, saltcedar, black locust, tree-of- heaven, pampas grass, and scotchbroom from South Fork Cottonwood Creek, Tehama County, using herbicides and manual removal methods. CCWG notified the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) on March 26, 2012 with the intent to modify the bed and banks of Cottonwood Creek in order to implement the pro- posed Project. DFG is preparing a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement for the proposed Project pursuant to Section 1600 et. seq. of the California Fish and Game Code. Project Location: South Fork Cottonwood Creek from Pettyjohn Road Crossing to the confluence with Mainstem Cot- tonwood Creek, Tehama County. The Project will take place on private land with the permission of all landowners. Comment Period: DFG is solicit- ing comments on the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Decla- ration (IS/MND) through August 30, 2012, at 5:00 pm. Document Availability: The IS/MND is available for review at DFG's Northern Region Office at 601 Locust Street, Redding, CA 96001. Electronic copies may be requested by contacting the IS/MND contact person. IS/MND Contact Person: Brad Henderson; California Depart- ment of Fish and Game; 601 Lo- cust Street; Redding, CA 96001; () California's renewable energy mandate (33% by 2020) has stimulated construction of solar power facilities statewide. Many properties suitable for these fa- cilities are already contracted under the Williamson Act, which raises several legal and practi- cal issues for such develop- ments. Tehama County has re- ceived several proposals for so- lar facilities on contracted lands. The County has several potential options for addressing such facilities, each with its own potential benefits and draw- backs. The purpose of the work- shop is to discuss these issues and options, and receive con- ceptual direction from the Board regarding the siting of solar power facilities on lands subject to Williamson Act contracts. Additionally, when the State's Williamson Act subventions were eliminated in 2009, the Board indicated that it did not intend to enter into any new Wil- liamson Act contracts - and staff has thus informed interested landowners ever since. Staff is requesting further Board direc- tion on this subject, including whether the Board wishes to change this intent. The Board's conceptual direc- tion regarding processing of so- lar facility applications could, if implemented through future Board decisions on specific proj- ects, have potentially significant direct and indirect financial im- pacts (ranging from increased or decreased County processing fees, to economic growth and/or development impacts) that can- not be calculated at this time. Similarly, the Board's direction regarding new Williamson Act contracts could, if implemented through future Board decisions, substantially affect the property tax revenues received by the County, in an amount that can- not be determined at this time.
