Under the current tax code, export sales are taxed, and import costs are deductible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump is embracing Ryan's plan, it would be a reversal. Just 10 days ago, he told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-warns-on-house-republican-tax-plan-1484613766\">Wall Street Journal\u003c/a> that a \"border adjustment tax\" was \"too complicated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Anytime I hear border adjustment, I don't love it,\" Trump said. \"Because usually it means we're going to get adjusted into a bad deal.

It's going to put the American consumer back, net-net, to make sure that American workers get lifted up as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Washington, after the original comments, Spicer said, \"I don't think our job right now is to roll something out and/or be prescriptive. It's to show that there are ways the wall can be paid for. Full stop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that he was trying to address \"questions about how the president could pay for the wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said, \"The idea is to show that generating revenue for the wall is not as difficult as some might have suggested.\" But \"there's nothing to roll out, so the idea of asking for details on something, we're not there yet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer also suggested that building the border wall would produce savings elsewhere in the federal budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we're going to save additional money that we would have had to spend on tracking down illegal immigrants and on immigration,\" Spicer said. \"So it's actually a huge win for the American taxpayer and for American security when you look at the kind of plan that's coming to fruition right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump actually wants to increase spending on immigration enforcement. In addition to the wall, he has ordered the hiring of 15,000 new Border Patrol and immigration officers and the construction of new detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Under the current tax code, export sales are taxed, and import costs are deductible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump is embracing Ryan's plan, it would be a reversal. Just 10 days ago, he told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-warns-on-house-republican-tax-plan-1484613766\">Wall Street Journal\u003c/a> that a \"border adjustment tax\" was \"too complicated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Anytime I hear border adjustment, I don't love it,\" Trump said. \"Because usually it means we're going to get adjusted into a bad deal. That's what happens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said the plan raises questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer brushed aside suggestions that much of the cost would be passed on to American consumers who purchase Mexican-made goods. He argued that cost would be outweighed by the reduction in illicit border crossings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What it's going to do is lift up the wages of American workers,\" Spicer said. \"Right now we've got an influx of cheap labor. It's going to put the American consumer back, net-net, to make sure that American workers get lifted up as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Washington, after the original comments, Spicer said, \"I don't think our job right now is to roll something out and/or be prescriptive. It's to show that there are ways the wall can be paid for. Full stop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that he was trying to address \"questions about how the president could pay for the wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said, \"The idea is to show that generating revenue for the wall is not as difficult as some might have suggested.\" But \"there's nothing to roll out, so the idea of asking for details on something, we're not there yet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spicer also suggested that building the border wall would produce savings elsewhere in the federal budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we're going to save additional money that we would have had to spend on tracking down illegal immigrants and on immigration,\" Spicer said. \"So it's actually a huge win for the American taxpayer and for American security when you look at the kind of plan that's coming to fruition right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump actually wants to increase spending on immigration enforcement. In addition to the wall, he has ordered the hiring of 15,000 new Border Patrol and immigration officers and the construction of new detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

He had underestimated the total costs of construction and city permitting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santana, 54, applied for a loan at his bank to cover up the difference, but was rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They declined me saying that I didn’t have enough financial background in the business to qualify for a loan,” said Santana, who has sold his in-house roasted coffee for years at farmers markets. “That was kind of tough and discouraging, and I almost did give up. I was about ready to throw in the towel and say, ‘Forget it, I can’t do it.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since he had already invested so much of his personal funds in the venture, Santana said, he kept knocking on doors. That’s when he managed to get a loan from Main Street Launch, a community development financial institution that specializes in small-business lending. The infusion of about $100,000 allowed him to buy the rest of the equipment he needed to finally open Cafe Santana’s doors to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Opening a business is expensive, but we are definitely growing,” said Santana at his cafe while a long line of customers waited for coffee drinks during the morning rush. “Once we opened our doors, I just knew we were going to be OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11279667\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11279667 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut.jpg\" alt='Santana and Javiera Torres, 23, work behind the counter during the morning rush at Santana Cafe. \"We are growing and we are going to be in a good place,\" said Santana.' width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richard Santana and Javiera Torres work behind the cafe’s counter on Jan. 18, 2017. ‘We are growing and we are going to be in a good place,’ Santana said. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Looking back, Santana wishes he’d had more support and guidance while navigating the perilous road to make his cafe a reality.

They also don’t have connections to deep-pocketed investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porras said venture capitalists he knows say they will not consider anyone who hasn’t been introduced to them by someone they know well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So what does that do? That shuts out almost all the Latino entrepreneurs around because they don’t know the VCs. They are not in that network,” Porras said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porras estimates that if Latino businesses could get more outside funding and grow as fast as others, that would generate more jobs and would add approximately $1.3 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santana said he has hired eight young employees, and his coffee’s reputation continues to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal is to provide good, quality coffee to the community,” he said. “I just want everybody to experience what I experience in the morning when I drink a cup of coffee.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He had underestimated the total costs of construction and city permitting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santana, 54, applied for a loan at his bank to cover up the difference, but was rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They declined me saying that I didn’t have enough financial background in the business to qualify for a loan,” said Santana, who has sold his in-house roasted coffee for years at farmers markets. “That was kind of tough and discouraging, and I almost did give up. I was about ready to throw in the towel and say, ‘Forget it, I can’t do it.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since he had already invested so much of his personal funds in the venture, Santana said, he kept knocking on doors. That’s when he managed to get a loan from Main Street Launch, a community development financial institution that specializes in small-business lending. The infusion of about $100,000 allowed him to buy the rest of the equipment he needed to finally open Cafe Santana’s doors to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Opening a business is expensive, but we are definitely growing,” said Santana at his cafe while a long line of customers waited for coffee drinks during the morning rush. “Once we opened our doors, I just knew we were going to be OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11279667\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11279667 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut.jpg\" alt='Santana and Javiera Torres, 23, work behind the counter during the morning rush at Santana Cafe. \"We are growing and we are going to be in a good place,\" said Santana.' width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23736_IMG_0446-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richard Santana and Javiera Torres work behind the cafe’s counter on Jan. 18, 2017. ‘We are growing and we are going to be in a good place,’ Santana said. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Looking back, Santana wishes he’d had more support and guidance while navigating the perilous road to make his cafe a reality. The Stanford survey found that “scaled” Latino businesses — those that earn more than $1 million in annual sales or have more than 50 employees — use a larger network, as well as more sources of capital, compared with smaller counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, Latino businesses simply aren’t aware of different types of capital out there, like government-funded loans, Porras said. They also don’t have connections to deep-pocketed investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porras said venture capitalists he knows say they will not consider anyone who hasn’t been introduced to them by someone they know well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So what does that do? That shuts out almost all the Latino entrepreneurs around because they don’t know the VCs. They are not in that network,” Porras said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porras estimates that if Latino businesses could get more outside funding and grow as fast as others, that would generate more jobs and would add approximately $1.3 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santana said he has hired eight young employees, and his coffee’s reputation continues to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal is to provide good, quality coffee to the community,” he said. “I just want everybody to experience what I experience in the morning when I drink a cup of coffee.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The women say salon owners violated \u003ca href=\"http://labor.ca.gov/laborlawreg.htm\">California labor laws \u003c/a>in a number of ways, including breaking \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/SB3_FAQ.htm\">minimum wage \u003c/a>law. It’s not the first time the salon has been accused of labor law transgressions — three years ago state officials fined Tustin Nail Spa $28,000 for violation of labor law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Laboni Hoq, litigation director for Asian Americans Advancing Justice and attorney for the four women filing the lawsuit, nail salons are one of the hidden labor segments in California where exploitation of workers is rampant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The practices that they were subject to at this nail salon,\" Hoq says, \"is really indicative of practices we've seen and heard about throughout the nail salon industry in Southern California and likely throughout the state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/303405241\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 licensed nail salons in California -- roughly 70 percent of them are owned or staffed by Asian-Americans, predominantly Vietnamese-Americans. That's especially true in the Little Saigon area of Orange County, which boasts the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. Nail salons are in almost every small strip mall throughout Little Saigon. Within a few blocks of the Tustin Nail Spa there are a dozen other salons, including two right across the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Fred Jones, executive director of the trade association \u003ca href=\"http://www.beautyfederation.org/\">Professional Beauty Federation of California\u003c/a>, nail salons offer a good entry opportunity -- both for unskilled workers to get a job and for entrepreneurs who want to start a business with limited capital. But as salons have proliferated, he says, competition has gotten cutthroat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With nail salons in particular, it’s really been a race to the bottom,” Jones says, “based solely on how cheap we can give a mani-pedi.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pressure on owners to cut corners and cost is what's pushing the wage fight with employees, Jones says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thu Hang Pham is one of the former workers filing the lawsuit. She says workers were required to clock in and out as employees, but in actuality worked many more hours, with few or no breaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They would have paychecks, but those would not be true to what the hours were,\" Pham says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11275682\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/NailSpa-800x811.jpg\" alt=\"Four women have filed a lawsuit against their former employers, the owners of Tustin Nail Spa in the city of Orange.

The women say salon owners violated state labor laws in a number of ways, including breaking minimum wage law. \u003ccite>(David Gorn/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit says the system of paying workers strictly on commission resulted in manicurists often working long hours for little pay, with the potential for salary to even fall below minimum wage. The tipping point for Pham came when salon owners wanted to change employees’ work designation to \"independent contractor\" — but without any of the benefits of being a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They wanted us to rent the work stations, get an independent license, but all of those other things wouldn’t change, we still would have to give up 40 percent of our money to the owner,\" Pham says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California labor law says if business owners set the rates and hours of employment, they need to pay workers as employees, not contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helen Chen is coordinator of public programs at the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://lohp.org/\">Labor Occupational Health Program\u003c/a>. She says it’s extremely common in the nail salon industry for owners to avoid paying overtime, vacations or holidays, or even provide work breaks. But to do all of that to employees, and then make them pay for the privilege of working there, that seems to have hit a nerve with salon employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MVpQOnuXM50hPItpxfN6WjkxLE9mCaQv\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This question of whether workers are independent contractors or employees is a gateway question for the nail salon community,” Chen says. “It can be very difficult to penetrate those employment practices and change them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is trying. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_2001-2050/ab_2025_cfa_20160627_181456_sen_comm.html\">new law \u003c/a>goes into effect in July in California -- as part of all license renewals, salon owners and workers will need to sign off on a basic understanding of California labor law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones of the Beauty Federation says the end result of changes in salary structure within the nail salon industry will be felt by consumers. The days of the impossibly cheap $16 mani-pedi could come to an end. He thinks that may not be a bad thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you see a nail salon that’s offering a mani-pedi for under $20, the first reaction of course, it’s human nature, is, 'Yippee! Let’s go!'\" Jones says. “But hopefully with some time and reflection, you need to start asking as a consumer, 'What goes into a manicure and a pedicure?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a common saying in the Vietnamese community: Don’t kick your bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, lawsuit proponents say, that means: don’t raise a fuss, even when you think employment practices might violate state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vietnamese nail salons are a closed and insular community, advocates say. Airing this case in court might do more than help four former nail salon workers -- it could help change employment practices that are both accepted and illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 27 in Orange County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But as salons have proliferated, he says, competition has gotten cutthroat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With nail salons in particular, it’s really been a race to the bottom,” Jones says, “based solely on how cheap we can give a mani-pedi.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pressure on owners to cut corners and cost is what's pushing the wage fight with employees, Jones says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thu Hang Pham is one of the former workers filing the lawsuit.

The tipping point for Pham came when salon owners wanted to change employees’ work designation to \"independent contractor\" — but without any of the benefits of being a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They wanted us to rent the work stations, get an independent license, but all of those other things wouldn’t change, we still would have to give up 40 percent of our money to the owner,\" Pham says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California labor law says if business owners set the rates and hours of employment, they need to pay workers as employees, not contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helen Chen is coordinator of public programs at the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://lohp.org/\">Labor Occupational Health Program\u003c/a>. She says it’s extremely common in the nail salon industry for owners to avoid paying overtime, vacations or holidays, or even provide work breaks. But to do all of that to employees, and then make them pay for the privilege of working there, that seems to have hit a nerve with salon employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This question of whether workers are independent contractors or employees is a gateway question for the nail salon community,” Chen says. “It can be very difficult to penetrate those employment practices and change them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is trying. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_2001-2050/ab_2025_cfa_20160627_181456_sen_comm.html\">new law \u003c/a>goes into effect in July in California -- as part of all license renewals, salon owners and workers will need to sign off on a basic understanding of California labor law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones of the Beauty Federation says the end result of changes in salary structure within the nail salon industry will be felt by consumers. The days of the impossibly cheap $16 mani-pedi could come to an end. He thinks that may not be a bad thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you see a nail salon that’s offering a mani-pedi for under $20, the first reaction of course, it’s human nature, is, 'Yippee! Let’s go!'\" Jones says. “But hopefully with some time and reflection, you need to start asking as a consumer, 'What goes into a manicure and a pedicure?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a common saying in the Vietnamese community: Don’t kick your bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, lawsuit proponents say, that means: don’t raise a fuss, even when you think employment practices might violate state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vietnamese nail salons are a closed and insular community, advocates say. Airing this case in court might do more than help four former nail salon workers -- it could help change employment practices that are both accepted and illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 27 in Orange County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

County health officials said a problem at a plant that supplies hydrogen to the refinery caused several processing units to come to a halt. A Phillips 66 spokesman did not return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week earlier a large portion of Shell's Martinez refinery lost power, leading to a loud flaring operation that sent flames and black smoke into the sky, and prompting an hours-long health advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report by that oil company revealed that the facility -- in order to relieve pressure -- pushed close to 39,000 pounds of gas, which included hydrogen sulfide, to its flares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell spokesman Ray Fisher described that incident and another flaring operation earlier in December as minor, and did not answer questions about whether they affected work at the refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The head of the industry group that represents oil companies in the area says the increase in the cost of gas is tied to issues particular to California's gas market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Recent changes in gasoline prices, while concerning for consumers, are consistent with the increased volatility that has been part of California fuel markets for the past several years,\" said Cathy Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's high taxes and environmental regulations, as well as its unique fuel blends and isolation from other markets, make the price at the pump here more volatile, according to Reheis-Boyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gasoline prices are determined by market conditions, which are unpredictable and constantly changing,\" she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's market doesn't have to be so vulnerable, according to consumer advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's part of a system that we are used to, but we shouldn't be,\" said Cody Rosenfield, a researcher at Consumer Watchdog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small group of companies have a large amount of control over the gas market in California, according to Rosenfield, and when there's a small refinery problem, pump prices go up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It causes a panic on the market, and the price just skyrockets, Rosenfield said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If just one refinery has a major problem, the wholesale price of gasoline can go up quickly, according to Severin Borenstein, a professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and a researcher at the school's Energy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just the possibility of a change in price can rattle middlemen who buy gas from refineries and sell it to independent gas stations. Fearing a tighter market, those wholesale buyers quickly purchase a lot of gasoline so they don't get caught paying more later. That, in turn, causes the retail gas price to increase days later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The wholesale market is going to respond to any information that suggests there might be a disruption in the future,\" said Borenstein, who also chairs the California Energy Commission's Petroleum Market Advisory Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is an ongoing concern about the fact that this market is so tight that even one refinery problem can cause the price to move quite a bit,\" Borenstein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is segmented away from the rest of the nation's gasoline market because it uses a special blend that's cleaner-burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a bigger supply problem whenever we see a hiccup like this,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A Phillips 66 spokesman did not return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week earlier a large portion of Shell's Martinez refinery lost power, leading to a loud flaring operation that sent flames and black smoke into the sky, and prompting an hours-long health advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report by that oil company revealed that the facility -- in order to relieve pressure -- pushed close to 39,000 pounds of gas, which included hydrogen sulfide, to its flares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shell spokesman Ray Fisher described that incident and another flaring operation earlier in December as minor, and did not answer questions about whether they affected work at the refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The head of the industry group that represents oil companies in the area says the increase in the cost of gas is tied to issues particular to California's gas market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Recent changes in gasoline prices, while concerning for consumers, are consistent with the increased volatility that has been part of California fuel markets for the past several years,\" said Cathy Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's high taxes and environmental regulations, as well as its unique fuel blends and isolation from other markets, make the price at the pump here more volatile, according to Reheis-Boyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gasoline prices are determined by market conditions, which are unpredictable and constantly changing,\" she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's market doesn't have to be so vulnerable, according to consumer advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's part of a system that we are used to, but we shouldn't be,\" said Cody Rosenfield, a researcher at Consumer Watchdog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small group of companies have a large amount of control over the gas market in California, according to Rosenfield, and when there's a small refinery problem, pump prices go up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It causes a panic on the market, and the price just skyrockets, Rosenfield said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If just one refinery has a major problem, the wholesale price of gasoline can go up quickly, according to Severin Borenstein, a professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and a researcher at the school's Energy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just the possibility of a change in price can rattle middlemen who buy gas from refineries and sell it to independent gas stations. Fearing a tighter market, those wholesale buyers quickly purchase a lot of gasoline so they don't get caught paying more later. That, in turn, causes the retail gas price to increase days later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The wholesale market is going to respond to any information that suggests there might be a disruption in the future,\" said Borenstein, who also chairs the California Energy Commission's Petroleum Market Advisory Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is an ongoing concern about the fact that this market is so tight that even one refinery problem can cause the price to move quite a bit,\" Borenstein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is segmented away from the rest of the nation's gasoline market because it uses a special blend that's cleaner-burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a bigger supply problem whenever we see a hiccup like this,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>The sandwich baggie brimming with buds is gradually becoming a thing of the past in California. In its place, an era of name-brand marijuana is emerging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Celebrities -- including actress \u003ca href=\"http://whoopiandmaya.com/\">Whoopi Goldberg\u003c/a>, rapper \u003ca href=\"http://www.leafsbysnoop.com/\">Snoop Dogg\u003c/a>, rocker \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/smellthetruth/2016/09/06/melissa-etheridge-farms-marijuana-products-coming-to-a-dispensary-near-you/\">Melissa Etheridge\u003c/a> and the family of reggae legend \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/02/05/bob-marley-marijuana-brand/\">Bob Marley\u003c/a> -- are branding their own herb. Law firms have sprouted to help marijuana sellers brand their goods. Pretty packages of cannabis-infused products bear labels like “Highland Pantry” (almond butter), “Madame Munchie” (cookies) and “Sweet ReLeaf” (skin cream).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Branded pot products gained footing in recent years as California sanctioned medical use of marijuana, and other states began permitting recreational use. Now that California voters have approved \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/proposition/proposition-64-legalizing-marijuana/\">a ballot measure\u003c/a> allowing all adults to use the drug, cannabis businesses want more authority to brand their products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But officially trademarking marijuana is a tricky legal task. The federal government still considers it an illegal drug, and won’t grant patents or trademarks for pot or anything made from it. Cannabis brands fear they are at risk of being copied. So marijuana businesses in California -- eyeing what could become a \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4466338/california-marijuana-legalization-vote-revenue/\">$6.4 billion industry\u003c/a> -- have turned to the state government for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not being able to trademark your brand is a huge setback if you’re trying to get capital investment,\" said Nate Bradley, who lobbies for marijuana sellers as the executive director of California Cannabis Industry Association. \"If you’re not able to protect what you’re asking people to invest in, you’re not likely to get investments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"KtlZeChDy35HvEYGKSBQ4vAjacRA2Yyu\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bill recently introduced in the Legislature would create a state-level trademark for California cannabis products, providing marijuana businesses new legal protections and greater access to cash from investors as the state ushers in a sanctioned commercial marketplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California secretary of state already has the power to register state-level trademarks, but only for items recognized by federal trademark law. \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB64\">Assembly Bill 64\u003c/a> would change that by allowing the secretary of state to register trademarks for cannabis goods and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cannabis businesses are like other businesses, lawful and regulated. They should be able to protect their intellectual property,\" said bill author Assemblyman Rob Bonta, a Democrat from Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trademarks will help bring marijuana vendors “out of the shadows,” he said, and also help consumers by assuring that “you’re going to get a certain quality or product when you purchase these goods.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11266716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11266716\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Alameda Assemblyman Rob Bonta, sponsor of legislation to allow the state to trademark pot products.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RobBonta-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alameda Assemblyman Rob Bonta, sponsor of legislation to allow the state to trademark pot products. \u003ccite>(Steve Yeater/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The secretary of state's office has not yet taken a position on the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far law enforcement groups, many of which opposed the ballot measure to legalize marijuana, are not speaking out against the move toward branding. Lauren Michaels, a lobbyist for the California Police Chiefs Association, said her group is focused on making sure that branded products aren’t advertised in a way that appeals to children. Police chiefs are supporting Bonta’s bill because it would restrict marijuana billboards near freeways. AB 64 also would speed up funding to establish \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/11019100/how-can-you-tell-if-a-driver-is-stoned\">standards for impaired driving\u003c/a> and allow recreational marijuana to be sold through \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/budding-confusion-split-over-whether-prop-64-would-allow-on-demand-marijuana-delivery/\">web-based delivery services\u003c/a> -- both contentious points in the initiative campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill already has some bipartisan support, including a Republican co-author. Still, some GOP lawmakers are wary. Senate Republican leader Jean Fuller of Bakersfield said she doesn’t yet have a position on the bill, but cautioned that \"it's always precarious for a state to take on the federal government and make laws that are in conflict.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy is being considered in Sacramento as the nation prepares for a new federal government that could be more hostile to states that have permitted marijuana. U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who is Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, has criticized the Obama administration for its hands-off approach. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/01/10/sessions-on-enforcing-federal-marijuana-laws-it-wont-be-an-easy-decision/?utm_term=.766ebe1471eb\">confirmation hearing this week\u003c/a> Sessions stopped short of saying he would go after states that have regulated pot, leaving marijuana advocates and state officials unsure of his plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked how Sessions as U.S. attorney general could impact marijuana policy in California, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown said he had \"no idea.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes you take a step forward and then a step back,\" Brown said during a Capitol budget press conference this week. “I think people will continue to be able to satisfy this particular need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"rzxslDUHLF6P5qTHAJaCXYxq2xV3HExb\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado and Washington -- two states that legalized recreational marijuana a few years ago -- already offer state-level trademarks for pot products, said attorney Amanda Conley, a founder of the National Cannabis Bar Association. Her Brand and Branch law firm in Oakland helps cannabis businesses navigate legal issues related to branding and trademarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a state-level trademark in California, businesses that want to sell cannabis under a brand name here must find a legal hack around the federal ban on trademarking pot. Conley said she advises companies to seek a federal trademark for the federally lawful goods and services they offer that do not themselves include marijuana.

In its place, an era of name-brand marijuana is emerging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Celebrities -- including actress \u003ca href=\"http://whoopiandmaya.com/\">Whoopi Goldberg\u003c/a>, rapper \u003ca href=\"http://www.leafsbysnoop.com/\">Snoop Dogg\u003c/a>, rocker \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/smellthetruth/2016/09/06/melissa-etheridge-farms-marijuana-products-coming-to-a-dispensary-near-you/\">Melissa Etheridge\u003c/a> and the family of reggae legend \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/02/05/bob-marley-marijuana-brand/\">Bob Marley\u003c/a> -- are branding their own herb. Law firms have sprouted to help marijuana sellers brand their goods. Pretty packages of cannabis-infused products bear labels like “Highland Pantry” (almond butter), “Madame Munchie” (cookies) and “Sweet ReLeaf” (skin cream).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Branded pot products gained footing in recent years as California sanctioned medical use of marijuana, and other states began permitting recreational use. Now that California voters have approved \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/proposition/proposition-64-legalizing-marijuana/\">a ballot measure\u003c/a> allowing all adults to use the drug, cannabis businesses want more authority to brand their products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But officially trademarking marijuana is a tricky legal task. The federal government still considers it an illegal drug, and won’t grant patents or trademarks for pot or anything made from it. Cannabis brands fear they are at risk of being copied. So marijuana businesses in California -- eyeing what could become a \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4466338/california-marijuana-legalization-vote-revenue/\">$6.4 billion industry\u003c/a> -- have turned to the state government for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not being able to trademark your brand is a huge setback if you’re trying to get capital investment,\" said Nate Bradley, who lobbies for marijuana sellers as the executive director of California Cannabis Industry Association. \"If you’re not able to protect what you’re asking people to invest in, you’re not likely to get investments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lauren Michaels, a lobbyist for the California Police Chiefs Association, said her group is focused on making sure that branded products aren’t advertised in a way that appeals to children. Police chiefs are supporting Bonta’s bill because it would restrict marijuana billboards near freeways. AB 64 also would speed up funding to establish \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/11019100/how-can-you-tell-if-a-driver-is-stoned\">standards for impaired driving\u003c/a> and allow recreational marijuana to be sold through \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/budding-confusion-split-over-whether-prop-64-would-allow-on-demand-marijuana-delivery/\">web-based delivery services\u003c/a> -- both contentious points in the initiative campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill already has some bipartisan support, including a Republican co-author. Still, some GOP lawmakers are wary. Senate Republican leader Jean Fuller of Bakersfield said she doesn’t yet have a position on the bill, but cautioned that \"it's always precarious for a state to take on the federal government and make laws that are in conflict.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy is being considered in Sacramento as the nation prepares for a new federal government that could be more hostile to states that have permitted marijuana. U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who is Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, has criticized the Obama administration for its hands-off approach. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/01/10/sessions-on-enforcing-federal-marijuana-laws-it-wont-be-an-easy-decision/?utm_term=.766ebe1471eb\">confirmation hearing this week\u003c/a> Sessions stopped short of saying he would go after states that have regulated pot, leaving marijuana advocates and state officials unsure of his plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked how Sessions as U.S. attorney general could impact marijuana policy in California, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown said he had \"no idea.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes you take a step forward and then a step back,\" Brown said during a Capitol budget press conference this week. “I think people will continue to be able to satisfy this particular need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado and Washington -- two states that legalized recreational marijuana a few years ago -- already offer state-level trademarks for pot products, said attorney Amanda Conley, a founder of the National Cannabis Bar Association. Her Brand and Branch law firm in Oakland helps cannabis businesses navigate legal issues related to branding and trademarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a state-level trademark in California, businesses that want to sell cannabis under a brand name here must find a legal hack around the federal ban on trademarking pot. Conley said she advises companies to seek a federal trademark for the federally lawful goods and services they offer that do not themselves include marijuana. For instance, an entrepreneur could seek to trademark an informative website about the medical uses of marijuana, or the rechargeable batteries used with vaping pipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sleek cases holding such pipes and batteries were on display at a Sacramento dispensary, where bottles of “Cannabis Quencher” juices and packages of “Heavenly Sweet” cookies stood near aromatic jars of indica and sativa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most patients ask for products based on the desired effect -- a sleep aid, or something to relieve pain -- said Kimberly Cargile, who runs the dispensary called A Therapeutic Alternative.

Jerry Brown unveiled an austere spending plan for the fiscal year that will begin in July, returning to familiar rhetoric warning of an impending economic downturn and adding new notes of caution about how Republicans' dominance in Washington, D.C., could impact California's bottom line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/302085705\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, announcing his budget Tuesday just 10 days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, warned that this year could be the most difficult since 2012 as the \"surging tide of revenues we have enjoyed the past few years appear to have turned.\" He said the state has a $2 billion budget deficit -- far less than the $27 billion shortfall he inherited, but still important. Brown said that, in general, California's budget surpluses are far smaller than its deficits \"and that really is the challenge of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The trajectory of revenue growth is declining ... but is still growing,\" Brown said. \"So compared to many other places in the world ...

Brown said as he unveiled his new budget on Tuesday in Sacramento. \u003ccite>(Marisa Lagos/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To deal with the declining revenues, Brown said he is proposing to roll back some planned spending increases to education and to eliminate a $400 million fund for affordable housing that was not spent last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also wants to halt $300 million in spending on modernizing state office buildings. And, the governor said he will keep spending flat by pausing rate increases for child care and not allowing any new students to qualify for a higher education scholarship fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said he will protect what he called the Capitol's \"most important achievements\" under his watch -- education spending increases, an earned income tax credit for the working poor, a rising minimum wage and adding millions of Californians to the rolls of the insured. And he said he will again propose a transportation package that would add $43 billion over 10 years to help shore up roads, highways and bridges. It would be funded through new vehicle fees, an increase in the gas tax and an increase to the diesel excise tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"caCOvJvHD34SXS0CpFdcpXq2usWDsb9a\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change -- one of Brown's signature issues -- the governor said he wants lawmakers to take up the state's cap-and-trade system and approve it by a two-thirds vote. The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ... We ought to continue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is making no assumptions about what Congress and President-elect Trump will do -- particularly around health care -- but that he's not budgeting based on things that haven't yet occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are too many uncertainties that could put a massive hole in the budget,\" he said. \"This budget can move very quickly -- what I call riding the tide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tRtfzyVVZJm5TboxPPr0Smmh0UnOeqLB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could go the other way, he said -- revenues could increase in coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's financial volatility, Brown said, is largely because of what the governor called the state's \"progressive\" tax structure that relies on capital gains taxes from its wealthiest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has the most progressive tax system in the U.S. -- but as a a corollary, we have one of the most unreliable revenue systems in the country and to manage it reliably requires prudence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that's why he's pushed the state to save money in good years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want a progressive tax system, you need a big rainy day fund,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans had a mixed reaction to Brown's budget proposal. Senate Minority Leader Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) said more money should be going to the state's reserve funds and toward paying down the state's pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we agree with the governor that a spending decrease solution is far better than a tax increase solution at this time,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, rejected the governor's plan to increase gas taxes to fund road and highway repairs. Legislative Democrats have made similar proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are already paying the highest gas taxes in the country,\" Obernolte said. \"And there are large sections of revenue that we can return to funding state road and highway construction that are not being so spent right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democratic lawmakers generally commended Brown's cautious approach, they pushed back on the lack of funding in some areas. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Los Angeles) criticized Brown's plan to phase out the Middle Class Scholarship Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must work to keep college affordable for California students, and I will not support burdening them with higher fees and greater student debt — whether that's done by raising tuition or phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship,\" Rendon said in a statement. \"Ending the Middle Class Scholarship would increase the cost of a student’s four year education by up to $9,000 at CSU and up to $20,000 at UC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of new funding for affordable housing concerned Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly housing committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(Brown) repeated his position that the answer is to streamline housing approvals, and I share the perspective that many jurisdictions around our state are not doing enough to build homes for our residents, especially in areas where job growth is dramatically outpacing housing creation,\" Chiu said in a statement. \"But the market alone will never solve the housing crisis for struggling Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown unveiled an austere spending plan for the fiscal year that will begin in July, returning to familiar rhetoric warning of an impending economic downturn and adding new notes of caution about how Republicans' dominance in Washington, D.C., could impact California's bottom line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/302085705&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/302085705'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, announcing his budget Tuesday just 10 days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, warned that this year could be the most difficult since 2012 as the \"surging tide of revenues we have enjoyed the past few years appear to have turned.\" He said the state has a $2 billion budget deficit -- far less than the $27 billion shortfall he inherited, but still important. Brown said that, in general, California's budget surpluses are far smaller than its deficits \"and that really is the challenge of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The trajectory of revenue growth is declining ... but is still growing,\" Brown said. \"So compared to many other places in the world ...

And, the governor said he will keep spending flat by pausing rate increases for child care and not allowing any new students to qualify for a higher education scholarship fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said he will protect what he called the Capitol's \"most important achievements\" under his watch -- education spending increases, an earned income tax credit for the working poor, a rising minimum wage and adding millions of Californians to the rolls of the insured. And he said he will again propose a transportation package that would add $43 billion over 10 years to help shore up roads, highways and bridges. It would be funded through new vehicle fees, an increase in the gas tax and an increase to the diesel excise tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change -- one of Brown's signature issues -- the governor said he wants lawmakers to take up the state's cap-and-trade system and approve it by a two-thirds vote. The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ... We ought to continue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is making no assumptions about what Congress and President-elect Trump will do -- particularly around health care -- but that he's not budgeting based on things that haven't yet occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are too many uncertainties that could put a massive hole in the budget,\" he said. \"This budget can move very quickly -- what I call riding the tide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could go the other way, he said -- revenues could increase in coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's financial volatility, Brown said, is largely because of what the governor called the state's \"progressive\" tax structure that relies on capital gains taxes from its wealthiest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has the most progressive tax system in the U.S. -- but as a a corollary, we have one of the most unreliable revenue systems in the country and to manage it reliably requires prudence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that's why he's pushed the state to save money in good years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want a progressive tax system, you need a big rainy day fund,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans had a mixed reaction to Brown's budget proposal. Senate Minority Leader Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) said more money should be going to the state's reserve funds and toward paying down the state's pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we agree with the governor that a spending decrease solution is far better than a tax increase solution at this time,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, rejected the governor's plan to increase gas taxes to fund road and highway repairs. Legislative Democrats have made similar proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are already paying the highest gas taxes in the country,\" Obernolte said. \"And there are large sections of revenue that we can return to funding state road and highway construction that are not being so spent right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democratic lawmakers generally commended Brown's cautious approach, they pushed back on the lack of funding in some areas. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Los Angeles) criticized Brown's plan to phase out the Middle Class Scholarship Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must work to keep college affordable for California students, and I will not support burdening them with higher fees and greater student debt — whether that's done by raising tuition or phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship,\" Rendon said in a statement. \"Ending the Middle Class Scholarship would increase the cost of a student’s four year education by up to $9,000 at CSU and up to $20,000 at UC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of new funding for affordable housing concerned Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly housing committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
