Water Crisis Results From Years Of Inaction Says Farm Bureau

Posted by: thepinetree on 02/21/2014 04:10 PM
Sacramento, CA....Today’s announcement by the federal Central Valley Project that it will deliver no water to most of its farm customers highlights the lack of investment California has made in new water supplies, according to the president of the California Farm Bureau Federation. CFBF President Paul Wenger said the state has failed to insulate itself from the effects of drought. “As the saying goes, you reap what you sow, and our state and federal governments have failed miserably at providing the resources and infrastructure to adapt to changing climatic conditions,” Wenger said...

New CalPERS Costs To Be Borne By Local Governments

Posted by: thepinetree on 02/21/2014 05:25 PM
Sacramento, CA...Earlier this week, the Board of Directors of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) adopted new actuarial assumptions. These assumptions stem from recent staff reviews of the overall system and needs associated with providing benefits to its members. The adoption of these new assumptions will result in employer (local government members and the State of California) contribution rates increasing. The CalPERS Board of Directors also decided to implement a payment scheme to meet these obligations. Local governments will utilize the “20-5” option whereby the increased costs to local governments will be paid over 20 years with a five year ramp-up and a five year ramp-down. Two alternative options for local governments were considered – a “20-7” scheme or a “30-5” scheme – but neither of these options was adopted. In adopting the 20-5 scheme, payments by local government members will commence in the 2016-17 Fiscal Year. It should be noted that local governments do have the option to pay these new liabilities in advance to minimize finance costs....

Posted by: thepinetree on 02/21/2014 08:43 PM
Angels Camp, CA...The mountains east of Bakersfield aren’t the first place you might expect to find shark’s teeth, but that’s just what Russ Shoemaker did. In fact, he and his wife Pam have found hundreds of teeth and other fossils buried in the ancient soils on their property in Kern county. From that fortuitous discovery in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains many years ago, the Shoemakers have spent a lifetime exploring the planet and collecting a mind boggling array of geological and biological wonders – many of which are on display and for sale at Stories in Stones in downtown Angels Camp. Their business is also the recipient of the 2013 Innovations in Tourism Award for an outstanding retail experience...

CDCR Launches New Rehabilitative Services for Long-Term Offenders

Posted by: thepinetree on 02/20/2014 03:41 PM
Sacramento, CA...The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is launching a pilot program offering targeted rehabilitative services to inmates serving long-term sentences. The Long-Term Offender Pilot Program (LTOPP) provides evidence-based programming during incarceration and services upon release to allow inmates an easier transition back into society. “Due to the length of incarceration, long-term offenders are often not prepared for the significant changes in technology and day-to-day living that have occurred since they were first incarcerated,” said Millicent Tidwell, CDCR Division of Rehabilitative Programs Director. “Giving these offenders the tools they need to be successful in their own rehabilitation both inside and outside prison is imperative.”
