SACRAMENTO (AP) — A state audit released Tuesday is blaming at least four years' worth of lax accounting for misstating the bal- ance of a state oil spill fund by mil- lions of dollars. Lawmakers passed a fee increase last year for the Oil Spill Prevention and Administration Fund based in part on those inaccurate figures, according to State Auditor Elaine Howle, whose office released the report. The oil spill fund, which is funded by a fee applied to each bar- rel of oil delivered to the state, was not properly reconciled until earlier this year. The audit comes as lawmakers and state budget officials are increasing scrutiny on hundreds of special funds after finding a $54 million surplus in the parks depart- ment. The governor's finance SACRAMENTO (AP) — State Assemblyman Brian Nestande resigned Tuesday from a Republican leadership post after pro- viding the lone GOP vote on a bill that would close a tax loophole for out-of- state corporations. which would eliminate a $1 billion tax break and use the expected windfall to reduce college tuition, passed the Assembly on Monday without a vote to spare. ''I understood when I made the vote that I would have to step down,'' said Nestande, R-Palm Desert, referring to his previous position as chairman of the The bill, AB1500, department found its balances and the figures kept by the state con- troller's office off in some funds by hundreds of millions of dollars. According to the audit, which buff since he was 12. He and his wife, Laura, designed the mobile observatory because they wanted a convenient way to travel with their telescope to areas where there was little light pollution. This hobby turned into a successful side-busi- ness providing other astronomers a less expensive alternative to a per- manent observatory or planetarium.

In one year, it was overstated by $4.5 million and understated by $1 million in anoth- er year. ''These misstatements were, in part, a result of fish and game's budget branch not having written procedures directing staff to recon- cile the spill fund's financial condi- tion to the state controller's office records,'' Howle wrote. ''Moreover, the analysts in fish and game's bud- get branch lacked experience and training regarding the preparation Assembly Republican Caucus. of fund condition statements.'' Last year the Legislature autho- rized the Office of Spill Prevention and Response under Department of Fish and Game to raise fees for the spill prevention fund from 5-cents a barrel to almost 7 cents through 2015. At the time, lawmakers said the funds for the oil spill prevention program would run a projected $5.2 million deficit and not have enough revenue to support its workload. The audit found the spill office's projections were inaccurate because it didn't verify the figures it used. One factor was that the spill office apparently undercharged the federal government by $27.3 million for its share of administrative costs. The federal government is allow- ing the state to recover that money over the next three fiscal years. GOP lawmaker resigns chairmanship after tax vote factor. He and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, who recently left the Republican Party to become an inde- pendent, were the only non-Democrats to vote for the bill, which closes a loophole the Legislature approved in 2009 as a way to get a handful of Republi- can lawmakers to vote for the state budget. Tuesday's development is another illustration of the divide between the two major parties on budgeting and tax issues, as well as a reminder of the retribution faced by GOP lawmakers who compromise with Democrats on tax matters. Republican lawmakers in recent years have punished several of their legislative leaders for taking votes they deemed in violation of a no-tax pledge that most of them have signed. The loophole Nestande voted to close allows cor- porations to choose the more advantageous of two tax formulas. The bill would force all corpora- tions to use the same for- mula. In a statement Tuesday, Nestande cited more than a dozen states with Republi- can governors — including Texas, Wisconsin and Indi- ana — that have embraced the uniform tax policy, known as the single sales Anyone with informa- tion is asked to call the Tehama County Sheriff's Department at 529-7900. —Julie Zeeb venient mobile observatories, which are perfect for families and educational institutions.

For more information about the THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column circa 1941) I don't like the inference that Dr. Wood quit the County Hospital because he couldn't have his own way. That's what a lot of people seem to think. In the first place, I think Dr. Wood would not have accepted the job if he hadn't believed he could appoint his own nurses. He has had fine record for the two years he served as County doctor. Probably no doctor has been more popular with patients and taxpayers alike than Dr. O.T. Wood. The Welfare Board is wrong in insisting they pick the nurses at the County Hospital. A doctor is in a different classification than most men. He cannot save a life by reading out of a book as every case is different, and, in each case, the nurse who works in harmony with the doctor is just as necessary as the doctor in saving lives. If a patient dies at the County Hospital, and the family does not feel that everything was done to save him, it would not be the Board they would sue…it would be the doctor. *** If the Red Cross and similar charities received all the money that people deduct from their income tax, there would be no need for yearly drives for funds. *** It must be some consolation to people who cannot eat meat because of Lent, to know that they could not, because of rationing, get it anyway. *** Under the current law, corporations are allowed to base their California taxes on their sales, payroll and property within the state, giving a significant tax advantage to companies based outside California and with few, if any, employees here. Nestande said that isn't fair to Cali- fornia-based companies and said his vote had the support of the California Business Roundtable, which includes 21 of the state's largest companies. ''I'm Republican from the beginning to the end, always have been, always will be,'' Nestande said in a telephone interview. The window full of service men's pictures at Floyd's Fountain should make us all stop and think what we are doing to help. Several mothers have pictures of two of their sons. Mrs. Bess Werlhof has all three of her sons in the service. Any bonds we can buy are a small sacrifice along side of hers. *** Men in business cannot stop. They must continually spend, modernize and improve or be left behind. I always think of business being a heavy load drawn up a steep hill; as long as you keep going forward it is relatively easy, but if you stop to rest, it is nearly impossible to start again, and if you start to roll backward, there is only one finish and that is at the bottom of the hill. When partner John Hoy and I started the meat plant 8 years ago, we thought that if we could just get electricity and refrigeration, we could take it easy. As our dream became a reality, we had to have a big refrigeration system, more holding rooms, a cutting room and a bigger kill floor. Last year we put in a hog dehairing machine we thought we could easily get along with for the next 5 years without spending more money. But we find as we improve, so do our competitors and we must keep up the race. In a highly competitive business, there seems to be no stopping or resting along the way.
