The practice, they said, may violate federal labor law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, said former state personnel director Dave Gilb, it circumvents the state's intent to set fixed wages for salaried management jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's giving more money to people who are not eligible for overtime,\" Gilb said. \"It's not right.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>CalPERS says the practice was allowed by a specific regulation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> An Additional Appointment is when a state civil service employee is appointed to a second position in state service to perform additional duties. This is a permissible practice in State government dating back decades and outlined in California's Personnel Management Policy and Procedures Manual (Section 350) and a practice that has been used by other agencies.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>How much money was involved? The Bee reported the following information, which it attributed to CalPERS:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>CalPERS paid $45,000 in November to a total 50 managers, an average $900 each. It paid the wages at the rank-and-file job overtime rate, time and a half. The money doesn't count toward pension calculations, the fund said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Now a spokesperson for the State Controller's Office tells us it is looking to see how much CalPERS and other agencies have used additional appointments.

Instead, the state will hire 65 people to do fire prevention work paid for by a fire fee on rural landowners. A lumber tax will pay for more staff to do inspections on logging operations and their impact on streams. Also, the budget proposal provides funding for Salton Sea restoration. On the flip side, revenue from the state's first carbon credit auction could be less than expected, possibly because the initial price was low.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_22349299/environment-brown-administrations-budget-calls-more-money-and?source=pkg\" target=\"_blank\">More from Paul Rogers in the Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>KQED's Charla Bear and Tyche Hendricks had this report on \u003ca name=\"education%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's education provisions:\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The proposed budget would boost K-12 education by an additional $2.7 billion dollars. It would give public universities a modest increase, though less than they requested. Brown insisted that the University of California and California State University systems figure out how to do more with less, putting an emphasis more on educating undergraduates than on other priorities such as research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California educators are relieved that for the first time in years the governor's proposed budget would increase school funding. \"Overall, I think it's good news for schools,” said Mary Shelton,l superintendent of San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “It looks like we should be able to maintain some stability and perhaps begin to restore some programs that might have been cut.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelton says San Ramon and other wealthy suburban districts will likely get a smaller increase, though. That's because the governor's budget would give a larger share to districts with more low-income students and English Language Learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending more on education for poor children and English learners will benefit all Californians in the long run, Brown said, even wealthy suburbanites whose schools might get less of an increase, because those people, in their old age, will depend on a skilled workforce paying taxes and taking care of the state’s growing elderly population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To direct more money to disadvantaged groups, the governor would eliminate most of the state's so-called \"categorical\" funding requirements -- pots of money targeted to specific programs. That would also give local school districts greater flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Freitas of the California Federation of Teachers says he's not sure that's such a good idea. \"We do believe in some local control, but we also believe the state does provide some checks on the locals in terms of requiring certain programs for these students of need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislature still has to approve the plan.

We have achieved the position we’re in because of tough cuts that Democrats didn’t like to make, but they did. And then the people voted for taxes. By the way the cuts are about 3 times more than the taxes. But it’s entirely significant that we broke the logjam by going to the people. Because we do still have government by the people as well as for the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors didn’t deal with.

And this is causing this tremendous growth in inequality… You’ve got the middle class hollowed out. The people at the bottom are struggling. .. There will be lots of bills as to how to deal with that. We’re spending more than any other state, and that’s good, and I support that. But we have to live within the means we have. Otherwise we get into that situation where we have red ink… I want to avoid the boom and the bust, the borrow and the spend…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fiscal discipline is not the enemy of democratic governance, but rather its fundamental predicate. Fiscal discipline and balance allows us to take care of the needs of the people over time, instead of just having a momentary rash of excitement, and then we pay with a hangover several years later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On schools:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re not just investing in our schools, we’re doing it in the context of encouraging local control. We want to put the decisions closer to the classroom ... Let the problems be solved closest to where they exist. Those institutions that have the most direct contact...should have the greatest authority. So the teacher in the classroom obviously has the maximum authority, then the principal, then the superintendent, then the school board, the state school board, the state superintendent, the governor and the legislature. But as you go up the line you lose control and you build bureaucracy... [The way ] we create greater control is we eliminate most of the categorical programs because they are built on bureaucracy on auditing on non-teachers being increasingly hired to manage the various complicated flows of money. Now, that’s local control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On healthcare:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are committed to expanding Medi-Cal, we’re committed to bringing more people into the healthcare system, but we recognize there are big costs out there. There are big unknowns so we’re going to move carefully, but we’re going to move with commitment, because I believe people do need decent healthcare, and I believe what Pres. Obama did was historic. It was heroic, and I’m going to do everything I can to be a good partner to make sure his plan works.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> On prisons:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cost of medical care in California [prisons] is three times the cost of medical care at prisons around the country. It’s clear to me and it’s clear to our experts that we are providing more than the constitution requires. Because of that we are taking money from some place else… drug treatment, re-entry programs… So the courts, paradoxically, by protecting the right to an ever-expanding healthcare are taking money that could go, and would go… to returning prisoners to society… We’ll put that money into improving the situation for our prisoners so they can learn more and deal with their substance abuse problems…\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

It dropped to a low of $87 billion during the 2011-12 fiscal year, requiring lawmakers to make deep cuts in a wide array of state services, including K-12 schools, higher education, the court system, and social services for the needy and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's environmental editors Paul Rogers and Andrea Kissack had this report about \u003ca name=\"the%20budget's%20environmental%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's environment provisions\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Environmentalist's are welcoming the Governor's budget news today\u003cstrong>. \u003c/strong> It’s the first time in four years that a Governor has not proposed closing parks to save money. Instead, the state will hire 65 people to do fire prevention work paid for by a fire fee on rural landowners. A lumber tax will pay for more staff to do inspections on logging operations and their impact on streams. Also, the budget proposal provides funding for Salton Sea restoration. On the flip side, revenue from the state's first carbon credit auction could be less than expected, possibly because the initial price was low.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_22349299/environment-brown-administrations-budget-calls-more-money-and?source=pkg\" target=\"_blank\">More from Paul Rogers in the Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>KQED's Charla Bear and Tyche Hendricks had this report on \u003ca name=\"education%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's education provisions:\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The proposed budget would boost K-12 education by an additional $2.7 billion dollars. It would give public universities a modest increase, though less than they requested. Brown insisted that the University of California and California State University systems figure out how to do more with less, putting an emphasis more on educating undergraduates than on other priorities such as research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California educators are relieved that for the first time in years the governor's proposed budget would increase school funding. \"Overall, I think it's good news for schools,” said Mary Shelton,l superintendent of San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “It looks like we should be able to maintain some stability and perhaps begin to restore some programs that might have been cut.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelton says San Ramon and other wealthy suburban districts will likely get a smaller increase, though. That's because the governor's budget would give a larger share to districts with more low-income students and English Language Learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending more on education for poor children and English learners will benefit all Californians in the long run, Brown said, even wealthy suburbanites whose schools might get less of an increase, because those people, in their old age, will depend on a skilled workforce paying taxes and taking care of the state’s growing elderly population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To direct more money to disadvantaged groups, the governor would eliminate most of the state's so-called \"categorical\" funding requirements -- pots of money targeted to specific programs. That would also give local school districts greater flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Freitas of the California Federation of Teachers says he's not sure that's such a good idea. \"We do believe in some local control, but we also believe the state does provide some checks on the locals in terms of requiring certain programs for these students of need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislature still has to approve the plan.

We have achieved the position we’re in because of tough cuts that Democrats didn’t like to make, but they did. And then the people voted for taxes.

There will be lots of bills as to how to deal with that. We’re spending more than any other state, and that’s good, and I support that. But we have to live within the means we have. Otherwise we get into that situation where we have red ink… I want to avoid the boom and the bust, the borrow and the spend…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fiscal discipline is not the enemy of democratic governance, but rather its fundamental predicate.

We want to put the decisions closer to the classroom ... Let the problems be solved closest to where they exist. Those institutions that have the most direct contact...should have the greatest authority. So the teacher in the classroom obviously has the maximum authority, then the principal, then the superintendent, then the school board, the state school board, the state superintendent, the governor and the legislature. But as you go up the line you lose control and you build bureaucracy... [The way ] we create greater control is we eliminate most of the categorical programs because they are built on bureaucracy on auditing on non-teachers being increasingly hired to manage the various complicated flows of money.

Last week, Harris spurred debate and action by releasing \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/536042-2012-12-04-harris-scomm.html\" target=\"_blank\">a legal opinion\u003c/a> that local jails are not required to participate in Secure Communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under the principles of federalism, neither Congress nor the federal executive branch can require state officials to carry out federal programs at their own expense,” the attorney general’s opinion said. “If such detainers were mandatory, forced compliance would constitute the type of commandeering of state resources forbidden by the Tenth Amendment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion reversed direction that Brown gave to police agencies two years ago while he was the attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca announced that his agency would no longer honor immigration holds on low-level offenders shortly after Harris issued her guidance. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck took the same step in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past year, Santa Clara County has refused to incarcerate detainees beyond the standard hold time, which is based only on their current criminal charges, not immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This decision by the attorney general confirms the (county’s) policy,” said Jeff Smith, Santa Clara County’s chief executive. “It’s consistent with the constitutional rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1051-1100/ab_1081_vt_20120930.html\" target=\"_blank\">vetoed legislation\u003c/a> this fall – AB 1081, commonly referred to as the Trust Act – intended to make participation in Secure Communities optional. The governor argued that the measure would have directed local jails to disregard immigration holds even when detainees had past convictions for serious crimes like child abuse or drug trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahern, a vice president on the sheriffs association board, said most of the state’s elected law enforcement officials are not looking to cut ties with federal immigration authorities.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement can then place a hold on those found to be in the country illegally.

Last week, Harris spurred debate and action by releasing \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/536042-2012-12-04-harris-scomm.html\" target=\"_blank\">a legal opinion\u003c/a> that local jails are not required to participate in Secure Communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under the principles of federalism, neither Congress nor the federal executive branch can require state officials to carry out federal programs at their own expense,” the attorney general’s opinion said. “If such detainers were mandatory, forced compliance would constitute the type of commandeering of state resources forbidden by the Tenth Amendment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion reversed direction that Brown gave to police agencies two years ago while he was the attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca announced that his agency would no longer honor immigration holds on low-level offenders shortly after Harris issued her guidance. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck took the same step in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past year, Santa Clara County has refused to incarcerate detainees beyond the standard hold time, which is based only on their current criminal charges, not immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This decision by the attorney general confirms the (county’s) policy,” said Jeff Smith, Santa Clara County’s chief executive. “It’s consistent with the constitutional rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1051-1100/ab_1081_vt_20120930.html\" target=\"_blank\">vetoed legislation\u003c/a> this fall – AB 1081, commonly referred to as the Trust Act – intended to make participation in Secure Communities optional. The governor argued that the measure would have directed local jails to disregard immigration holds even when detainees had past convictions for serious crimes like child abuse or drug trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahern, a vice president on the sheriffs association board, said most of the state’s elected law enforcement officials are not looking to cut ties with federal immigration authorities. Rather, they seek small tweaks in the relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local police want to focus their resources on dangerous criminals, Ahern said, not all unauthorized immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, opponents of local immigration enforcement highlight cases in which a college student, brought to the country illegally as a child, is arrested for a minor offense but faces deportation. Ahern said sheriffs should be able to decline immigration holds in such cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great majority of us disagree with those types of actions,” Ahern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

I think online voting is something that ought to be discussed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That made me wonder exactly why I am still showing up at the basement of a church in my neighborhood to fill in bubbles with a pen.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer, according to Johns Hopkins University computer security expert Avi Rubin, is that there is no way to guarantee an accurate vote count online. \"I'm pretty disappointed to hear that someone is running for secretary of state with this platform,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's current secretary of state, Debra Bowen, is a leader among voting officials when it comes to security, said Rubin.

The department ended up rejecting the system based on the task force's recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not that computers can't count votes. They obviously can, since machines are used all over the country to scan paper ballots and tally the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem, says Rubin, is that no one has come up with a backup system to check the validity of votes, other than paper ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the current election, for example.
