California minimum wage to rise on Jan. 1, 2022 TRACY BLOOM | CONTRIBUTED

C

alifornia’s minimum wage is about to hit a milestone in the coming days when new laws kick in for 2022 and give a pay raise to the state’s lowest-paid workers.

Starting Jan. 1, businesses with 26 or more employees will have to pay their workers at least $15 an hour — a figure that labor rights advocates like Fight for $15 have sought for years. The new amount represents an increase of $1 from the current minimum wage.

Meanwhile, employers with 25 or fewer workers will have to raise their pay to at least $14 an hour in the new year, also $1 more than the existing law stipulates. One last increase in 2023 will bring the

amount to $15 for this group of employees as well, however.

The increases are part of a state law that has steadily hiked the minimum wage since Jan. 1, 2017, when it was around $10.

California’s statewide minimum wage is already among the highest in the U.S. and well above the federal minimum wage of $7.25, something that hasn’t changed in more than a decade.

But many cities in the Golden State — primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area — already offer higher minimum wages than the rest of the state because of local ordinances.

In Southern California, the West Hollywood City Council recently passed one that will set the city’s minimum wage at $17.64 starting

July 2023. That’s above the nation’s current highest, which is $16.84 in the Bay Area city of Emeryville, according to a Pew Research analysis.

Emeryville will be among three California cities in California with

a minimum wage above $17 an hour in the new year, when it hikes the amount to $17.13. Two cities in the Silicon Valley and Sunnyvale will each hike theirs to $17.10 starting Jan. 1, 2022.

And the hourly minimum wage will rise to at least $16 an hour in about a dozen other cities in California, according to data compiled by the UC Berkeley Labor Center.

Some anti-poverty activists believe that minimum pay should be even higher, though. A ballot initiative submitted this month to the state attorney general’s office seeks to raise the minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2026 through a series of incremental hikes beginning in 2023.

“The Living Wage Act of 2022” could be put to voters in next November’s election, should it receive enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Comments are being accepted on the proposal through Jan. 1, 2022.

hile most families were traveling to reach a destination away from home this Christmas season or preparing their homes with decorations, baked goods and wrapped presents, Phillip Basquez and his family spent Dec. 22 making sure lots of San Jacinto children got a new toy.

Basquez, a member of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, decided a couple of years ago to hold a toy giveaway event to provide for families that couldn’t afford much. Last year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he knew many families were having a hard time and wanted to make sure children had a merry Christmas.

This year, although things have improved for many, some still are struggling and Basquez and his family wanted to do what they could to help out. “I just think giving back to the community is important; I grew up here,” Basquez, 34, said. “I feel each child deserves a gift.”

He set up a pop-up area near Re-

alifornia became the first state to record more than 5 million known coronavirus infections, according to the state dashboard Tuesday, which was delayed by the holiday weekend.

The grim milestone, as reported by the California Department of Public Health, wasn’t entirely unexpected in a state with 40 million residents poised for a surge in new infections amid holiday parties and family gatherings forced indoors by a series of winter storms.

The first coronavirus case in California was confirmed Jan. 25, 2020.

It took 292 days to get to 1 million infections on Nov. 11 of that year, and 44 days from then to top 2 million.

California’s caseload is also ahead of other large states. Texas had more than 4.4 million and Florida topped 3.9 million as of Sunday.

California has recorded more

than 75,500 deaths related to COVID-19.

The state has fared far better than many other states that are dealing with a coronavirus surge, with areas in the Midwest and Northeast seeing the biggest jump in cases and hospitalizations amid frigid temperatures that have kept people indoors.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists California as a place with “high” transmission of the virus, along with nearly everywhere else in the country. But in the last week California averaged 16.4 new cases per 100,000 people, less than a third of the national rate.

Meanwhile, coronavirus related hospitalizations have been rising slowly in California, up about 12% in the last 7 days to 4,401. That’s less than half as many as during the late summer peak and one-fifth of a year ago, before vaccines were wide-

Hemet Police Seeking Public’s Assistance

On Friday December 24, 2021, at about 11:24 pm, the Hemet Police Dispatch Center began receiving calls about a traffic collision in the area of Devonshire Ave. and Sanderson Ave. The reporting party advised that the collision was between a vehicle and a bicycle and that the bicycle rider was still in the roadway.

Officers and medics arrived on scene and found the bicycle rider still in the roadway, unconscious but breathing. Medical aid was rendered and the subject was transported to a local hospital where he is listed in critical condition. The driver of the vehicle – a blue Toyota Camry, remained on scene and fully cooperated with the investigation.

The Hemet Police Traffic Bureau was called in to investigate the collision and preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of the Camry was driving south bound on Sanderson Ave, approaching Devonshire. The driver proceeded south into the intersection on a green signal and collided into the bicyclist in the intersection. Neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor with the driver of the Camry.

As of this writing, investigators have exhausted all available resources and the bicyclist has not been identified. The Hemet Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying him. The bicyclist is a Hispanic male about 15 to 18 years old, approximately 5’9” tall, weighing about 130 pounds. He was wearing a black ‘hoodie’ sweatshirt, brown belt, and blue jeans.

He also has two small tattoos on his left hand. If you know someone who matches that description and has been unaccounted for since last night, please call Lt. Dickson at (951)7653795 or e-mail at edickson@hemetca.gov.

Hemet police return gifts to family after womancaughton video stealing packages from front porch Packages containing gifts that were stolen from a Hemet family’s front porch were returned after police arrested two suspects, officials said Thursday.

On Wednesday, Hemet police saw a social media post appearing to show a woman stealing recently delivered packages near a front door in the city. The theft was captured on video and the images were shared in the post.

Hemet police investigators, as well as the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department then set off to identify the woman in the video and shared information with officers in the field.

About 8:40 p.m., detectives from a gang task force spotted a woman matching the suspect’s description in a truck near the 1600 block of San Jacinto Avenue in San Jacinto, police said.

The truck also matched the description of one seen on the doorbell camera video.

A record check of the truck’s license plate revealed it was reported stolen out of Moreno Valley, police said.

Authorities stopped the driver and detained a man and a woman inside, and she was confirmed to be the woman caught on video taking the packages, police said.

Officers found the stolen packages containing gifts for the victim’s children and returned them the same evening, just in time for Christmas.

The woman was identified as Tonia DeLeon, 36, of Winchester. She was arrested on suspicion of package theft and two felony warrants for fraud and post-release community supervision violations, police said.

The driver, 41-year-old Jose Rivas, also of Winchester, was arrested on suspicion of possessing a stolen vehicle and vehicle theft. He also had an outstanding felony warrant for a previous vehicle theft, police said.

Southern California's Ontario International Airport Authority authorizes major ground lease and development agreement for surplus property 55-year lease will provide revenue stream for airport projects while maintaining low costs for airlines ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT | CONTRIBUTED

T

he Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA) Commission voted unanimously on December 23rd to authorize a Development and Entitlement Agreement that will lead to a ground lease for approximately 198 acres of surplus property at the Southern California airport. The 55-year lease will generate approximately $275 million over the first 10 years, which will support ongoing airport improvements while keeping costs down for airlines.

The OIAA determined the property, located east of Haven Avenue, north of Jurupa Avenue, south of Airport Drive and west of Carnegie Avenue, is unsuited for typical airport use, making it surplus to the airport's aviation/aeronautical needs.

(See accompanying ONT aerial photo showing surplus property to be leased).

"We are pleased and proud to move forward with the first of several major real estate transactions to monetize vacant property since the airport was transferred to local control in November 2016," said Alan D. Wapner, Mayor pro Tem of the City of Ontario and President of the OIAA Board of Commissioners.

"As envisioned in the OIAA strategic business plan, the ongoing revenue stream will help ONT fund vital safety, security and infrastructure projects while keeping air-

port costs to airlines low. As a result, ONT will become even more attractive for airlines to inaugurate and increase flight schedules."

CanAm Ontario LLC, a venture formed by San Antonio, TX-based USAA Real Estate Company and McDonald Property Group of Newport Beach, CA, will develop the vacant property for industrial use in compliance with the Airport Compatibility Plan required under State Law. Steven Ames, Managing Director-Investments, USAA Real Estate Company, sounded a note of optimism following the Board's action.

"USAA is excited to enter into another large-scale industrial project in the Inland Empire with McDonald Property Group. Given our long track record of success with McDonald, it is our vision that the On-

tario International Airport project will continue in that tradition and become one of the most prominent industrial/logistics developments in the region," Ames said.

CanAm Ontario was selected following a competitive process which began with 17 bidders managed by CBRE Group, Inc., a global leader in real estate services and investment headquartered in Los Angeles.

The deal calls for a non-refundable $10 million deposit to OIAA. After allowing time for CanAm Ontario to obtain local jurisdictional entitlement and environmental approvals, rental revenue to the OIAA will start at $25 million in the first year, increasing in five-year increments, resulting in revenue of $90.6 per year in the final five years.

The net present value of the agreement is $625 million.

"The air carriers at Ontario support efforts that keep operating costs low, which benefits anyone who uses the airport," said Trey Hettinger, Chair of the ONT Airline Affairs Committee representing the Signatory passenger and cargo airlines operating at ONT. "This is an example of the Authority's continued efforts to provide funding for airport improvements while reducing airline costs".

Airport officials noted that special consideration was given to ensure the transaction complies with applicable federal laws and Federal Aviation Administration policies and provide lease revenue exceeding fair market value as determined by three independent appraisals. Federal law requires that revenues generated by the airport be used for airport purposes.

Long Beach Press-Telegram reported.

McVoy was in a garage band with Victor Garcia.

During practice on Jan. 10, 2017, the two got into an argument over politics at Garcia’s home in North Long Beach, prosecutors said.

McVoy pulled a gun after he was teased for saying he had voted for Hillary Clinton and Garcia told him to leave, prosecutors said.

McVoy shot and wound-

ed Garcia and a second shot fatally struck Garcia’s wife, Susan Garcia, 33, as she held their child on her lap.

The child wasn’t hurt.

Garcia was shot in the head. He told the court on Monday that he was in a coma for months, underwent two brain surgeries and still has physical issues.

McVoy said he didn’t intend to hurt anyone and apologized to the family.

“As far as my remorse, I

think about this every day,” he said.

At trial, McVoy’s attorney argued that he shot Garcia in self-defense after being threatened but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Laura Laesekce said McVoy was at fault for bringing the loaded gun and aiming it at Garcia.

“There’s no reason to be pointing a gun,” she said.

“Mr. Garcia should not bear the weight of this crime.”

Program founder and event hostess Karena Zermeno also represents one of the sponsors, Altura Credit Union. Backpacks filled with gifts, a Student of the Month plaque, certificates of recognition and much more were donated by the program’s sponsors to the award recipients. Each student was invited to the podium to share their personal story, past challenges and future goals with a room full of supporters that included principals, teachers, peers, family members and community and school district dignitaries.

December’s students of the month from Hemet Unified School District schools are Lanaya Contreras, Aaron Holaway, David Lieras and Kimberly Montanez Quintanilla.

San Jacinto Unified honorees are Adanesne Carrasco Soto and Derin Ramos.

Hamilton High School’s Lanaya Contreras was recognized for all of her hard work and passion. Principal Jeff Franks said she is a leader on the basketball team with drive and passion that carries over into the classroom. Her teacher, Preston Brimhall, said the reasons he selected Lanaya for this honor is because she is all heart and determination, she has the qualities of a resilient person and she possesses forgiveness. “An important thing about me that I take full pride in is being Native American from the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians as well as the San Pasqual Band of Diegueño Mission Indians also known as Kumeyaay people,” Lanaya, of Mountain Center, said. “Growing up on a reservation has taught me so much. It wasn’t always easy, but it made me the person I am today. I have stayed true to myself and the people I love.” Her plans are to attend Cal State San Marcos to major in psychology with a career goal of becoming a counselor for her tribe.

Aaron Holaway from West Valley High School was introduced by biology and chemistry teacher Mary Grace Padron, who said she has been fortunate to have Aaron in her classes since he was a freshman.

She described him as passionate, humble and caring. Aaron wants to major in biology and eventually have a career in scientific research. He admits to entering high school with low self-worth but was able to find his way through biology thanks to Padron’s motivation. He said that was a lesson that he will take to college as it helped

him realize he could turn things around with the right positive mindset.

“One of the things that impresses me about Aaron is his ability at helping other people,” his father said.

Tahquitz High School recognized David Lieras for December. His English teacher Molly Otis shared one of his quotes, which she says David writes to help motivate others. “You can do anything you put your mind to. Whatever you want you can get it. Work hard. Never give up. Set goals and live up to them.” Otis said, “This young man totally represents Tahquitz Pride.”

David said some of his contributions to his school and community have been demonstrating good citizenship to his peers and being an active student. He is looking forward to becoming an electrician and plans to attend San Joaquin Valley College to pursue that goal. “There have always been many obstacles that have shaped my life,” David said. “However, one that has challenged me day by day was losing my beautiful mom. And though she may not be here today, it makes me more determined to keep pushing and pursuing for her.”

Kimberly Montanez Quintanilla was Hemet High School’s choice for December.

An active member of the school’s vet science program and FFA, she feels the greatest contribution she has given to her community, school and family is her inclination to help and her empathy.

“Everywhere I go, I never hesitate to agree to help,” Kimberly said. “I plan on giving back to my community by volunteering at animal shelters.” Her career plan is to be admitted to the animal science program at Cal Poly Pomona followed by admission to UC, Davis’ School of Veterinary Medicine to earn her doctorate degree, with the goal of becoming a small animal veterinarian.

Adanesne Carrasco Soto from San Jacinto High School was singled out for this month’s honor. She could not be present at the event as she was in the hos-

pital undergoing a week long chemo treatment for Ewing’s Sarcoma, which she was diagnosed with in September. She was able to attend via Zoom and said, “I was given life-changing news,” Ada said. “After a while I accepted my new path, the path that would be taking me away from everything I knew and was known for: school and sports.” Principal Courtney Hall said Ada has had to face incredible obstacles throughout her life that would be crippling to most people. “She, however, persists and she does it with a smile and optimism like none I have ever experienced before.” That persistence has allowed Ada to continue to achieve academically and earn her high school diploma early.

“One of Ada’s goals is to inspire people and we all want her to know that she has far exceeded that goal and that she inspires us every day,” Hall said. With aspirations of becoming a registered nurse, Ada shared her favorite quote which she said has kept her going since she first heard it while in middle school: “She believed she could and so she did.”

Mountain View High School selected Derin Ramos for being involved in his school through ASB. His future plan is to enlist in the United States Army after graduation. He wants to work in the medical field while serving in the military and then pursue that as a career after he returns to civilian life. He also has an interest in engineering and starting his own business someday.

Derin said an important life lesson he has learned is to make smart choices as to who you have around you as they can be negative or positive influences. He credits his stepfather with showing him the right way to live. Derin also gave “a big thank you to all the sponsors for giving me this opportunity and helping me let my name be known.” Principal Ken Swanson said Derin is a great role model for the other students on campus as he is “very friendly and accepts people the way they come.”

Zermeno asked all the students to stand and be applauded for their accomplishments. “I think many components make us who we are and the most important is what’s in here, our hearts, and every student here today shares that,” she said. “Education’s important and our health is important but having a heart and helping others makes a huge difference.”

C

hristmas is over, but I bet many of you still have your trees and decorations up! What is it about this year? It’s been a rough one and I, for one, just hate to see the joy and sheer delight of the season come to an end. This Christmas more than others - has been a wonderful diversion from all the craziness going on! So - just to hang on for one more week, here are some holiday tidbits to extend your season a bit.

Stockings, pickles, indoor trees, reindeer and elves - Christmas has some surprising customs that are associated solely with this unique holiday. I’m sure most of you have some family traditions that, upon thinking back, make you smile more than others! And perhaps you even made new ones this year.

Our children always loved unpacking their sleeping bags and camping out under the Christmas tree - gifts piled high, lights twinkling - it doesn’t get much better than that. One family had their kids leave the traditional cookies & milk for Santa and then not only ate the goodies after the kids went to sleep, but then left Santa shoe prints (from flour) beside the food tray. It was absolute “proof” that Santa had visited the night before. More memories!

Another family watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas one year and the kids decided that instead of a beautiful lighted star for their tree topper, they needed an Allosaurus - one of the large dinosaurs weighing up to 2.5 tons and growing up to 32 feet in length. Their thinking was that even a plastic model would help protect the gifts

ly available.

On Tuesday, San Francisco announced it was canceling its New Year’s Eve fireworks show because of the rising caseload, while Contra Costa County in the Bay Area announced that it would require masks to be worn in all public indoor places as of Wednesday. Previously, some vaccinated people had been allowed to remove them.

The timeline of COVID-19 in America often comes back to California. It had some of the earliest known cases among travelers from China, where the outbreak began.

The Feb. 6, 2020, death of a San Jose woman was the first known coronavirus fatality in the U.S. That same month, California recorded the first

from the Grinch. So up it went - looked a bit odd having a large dinosaur sitting atop their tree, but the gifts stayed safe! New memories!!

There are many holiday traditions we observe each year without even thinking about them. Probably the most central of these is the Christmas date itself. Historians pretty much now agree that Jesus wasn’t born anywhere near December 25th.

For starters, we know that shepherds were out in the fields watching their flocks, but shepherds were never out in the fields during the cold and rainy month of December. Scholars suggest there is evidence that Jesus may have been born in the summer or early fall. I don’t think the exact date matters to God - the world settled upon December 25th and that day got set apart even in the hearts and minds of non-believers. Let’s chalk one up for global joy!

On a holiday side note, did you know that there are over 20,000 “rent-a-Santa’s” across the United States each year?!

Santa can make up to $500 an hour, but your normal, runof-the-mill mall Santa’s earn around $30 an hour. And the Santa job is an important one as it pulls in people for shopping. It’s reported that American consumers spent more than $1 trillion for Christmas this year. But I’m with Bill Keane on this one: “God put Santa Claus on earth to remind us that Christmas is supposed to be a happy time.”

Go Santa!

And, have you heard that the largest gingerbread house ever made was the size of a real home? In 2013, a group from Texas - where else?

- constructed a real gingerbread house. Made with a wood base, it took 1,800 lbs of butter, 7,200 eggs, 3,000 lbs of sugar, 7,200 lbs of flour and over 22,000 pieces of candy to cover the record-breaking U.S. case not related to travel and the first infection spread within the community.

On March 19, 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued the nation’s first statewide stayat-home order, shuttering businesses and schools to try to prevent hospital overcrowding.

It is unclear how many of the newly reported cases were attributed to the omicron coronavirus variant.

Much about omicron remains unknown, including whether it causes more or less severe illness.

Scientists say omicron spreads even easier than other coronavirus strains, including delta, and it is expected to become dominant in the U.S. by early next year.

Early studies suggest the vaccinated will need a booster shot for the best chance at

Disney came through on this one, celebrating Xmas with 150 semi-trailer truckloads of decorations, stringing 15 miles of garland and 8.5 million lights, hanging 1,314 wreaths and decorating some 1,300 trees with 300,000 yards of ribbon!

Joy to the World - even our theme parks love Christmas! As Hamilton Mabie remarked, “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.”

But let’s never forget that Christmas is about the giving of a Savior to mankind something we should be celebrating year-round. Someone once referred to this as the “great encounter, the historical encounter, between God and man.” Hopefully, we didn’t allow the busy season to misdirect our focus from what really mattered most, our main gift - Jesus!

In the end - I hope you loved your Christmas day it’s over until 2022. Let’s pray that truly this coming year will bring greater peace on earth and goodwill to men.

With cases surging, the nation’s largest state-based health insurance marketplace urged more than 1.1 million uninsured Californians to sign up by Friday for subsidized coverage that would then start with the new year.

Covered California said the average cost of an intensive care coronavirus hospitalization is $127,000, but estimated that 85% of those eligible for the state-brokered health insurance can get coverage free of charge, with government assistance.

Those who sign up after Friday will have their coverage start on Feb. 1.

CALIFORNIA STATE

Redistricting process has concluded; Fontana will still be represented by two members in the House AP NEWS | CONTRIBUTED

ecause of redistricting, changes have been made to California’s congressional map, but Fontana will still be represented by two members in the House of Representatives.

Overall, California lost one seat in the House because of a population decline and now will have 52 seats, the state’s independent redistricting commission announced on Dec. 27 after analyzing the results of the 2020 Census.

Congressman Pete Aguilar, a Democrat who had been the representative in the 31st District, will be running for re-election in the newly-drawn 33rd District.

The new district will still include part of Fontana in addition

to Redlands, San Bernardino, Colton, Rialto, Grand Terrace, and Rancho Cucamonga, and will also now contain Highland and Bloomington.

“My family has called the Inland Empire home for four generations and it’s an honor to serve as the voice of our community in Congress,” Aguilar said in a statement. “I’m proud of my record working with Democrats and Republicans to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and grow the Inland Empire economy by supporting our small businesses, expanding educational opportunities for our students, and providing our veterans, seniors and families with the critical resources they need to make ends meet. I’m running for

re-election to continue fighting to improve the lives of the people in our community by lowering the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs, expanding affordable housing options, and making sure our first responders have the tools and resources to keep our residents safe.”

Meanwhile, Congresswoman Norma Torres, a Democrat, declared her intention to run for re-election in the 35th District following the approval of district lines by the redistricting commission.

The 35th includes a portion of Fontana in addition to the cities of Pomona, Chino, Ontario, and Montclair and parts of Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino Hills, and Eastvale.

“It has been an absolute honor to represent the heart of the Inland Empire for the last seven years — and I’m looking forward to continuing to serve much of the same community in California’s new 35th Congressional District,” Torres said in a statement. “At a time when Congress is delivering major wins for hard-working families, maintaining our Democratic majority is more important than ever. I’m running for re-election to ensure that progress continues, and the people of the Inland Empire get the representation they deserve.

As right-wing conspiracy theorists claw their way to Congress, we need leaders to stand up for the America we know and love.”

NEVADA

Harry Reid, former Senate majority leader, dies at 82 LAURIE KELLMAN AND KEN RITTER | AP NEWS

H

arry Reid, the former U.S. Senate majority leader and Nevada’s longest-serving member of Congress, has died. He was 82.

Reid died Tuesday, “peacefully” and surrounded by friends at home in suburban Henderson, “following a courageous, fouryear battle with pancreatic cancer,” according to family members and a statement from Landra Reid, his wife of 62 years.

“Harry was a devout family man and deeply loyal friend,” she said. “We greatly appreciate the outpouring of support from so many over these past few years.

We are especially grateful for the doctors and nurses that cared for him. Please know that meant the world to him,” Landra Reid said.

Funeral arrangements will be announced in coming days, she said.

Harry Mason Reid, a combative former boxer-turned-lawyer, was widely acknowledged as one of toughest deal makers in Congress, a conservative Democrat in an increasingly polarized chamber who vexed lawmakers of both parties with a brusque manner and this motto: “I would rather dance than fight, but I know how to fight.”

Over a 34-year career in Washington, Reid thrived on behindthe-scenes wrangling and kept the Senate controlled by his party through two presidents — Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama — a crippling recession and the Republican takeover of the House after the 2010 elections.

He retired in 2016 after an accident left him blind in one eye, and

revealed in May 2018 that he’d been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was undergoing treatment.

Less than two weeks ago, officials and one of his sons, Rory Reid, marked the renaming of the busy Las Vegas airport as Harry Reid International Airport. Rory Reid is a former Clark County Commission chairman and Democratic Nevada gubernatorial candidate.

Neither Harry nor Landra Reid attended the Dec. 14 ceremony held at the facility that had been known since 1948 as McCarran International Airport, after a former U.S. senator from Nevada, Pat McCarran.

Reid was known in Washington for his abrupt style, typified by his habit of unceremoniously hanging up the phone without saying goodbye.

“Even when I was president, he would hang up on me,” Obama said in a 2019 tribute video to Reid.

Reid was frequently underestimated, most recently in the 2010 elections when he looked like the underdog to tea party favorite Sharron Angle. Ambitious Democrats, assuming his defeat, began angling for his leadership post.

But Reid defeated Angle, 50% to 45%, and returned to the pinnacle of his power. For Reid, it was legacy time.

“I don’t have people saying ‘he’s the greatest speaker,’ ‘he’s handsome,’ ‘he’s a man about town,’” Reid told The New York Times in December that year. “But I don’t really care. I feel very comfortable with my place in history.”

Born in Searchlight, Nevada, to an alcoholic father who killed himself at 58 and a mother who served as a laundress in a bordel-

lo, Reid grew up in a small cabin without indoor plumbing and swam with other children at a pool at a local brothel. He hitchhiked to Basic High School in Henderson, Nevada, 40 miles (64 kilometers) from home, where he met the wife he would marry in 1959, Landra Gould. At Utah State University, the couple became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The future senator put himself through George Washington University law school by working nights as a U.S. Capitol police officer.

At age 28, Reid was elected to the Nevada Assembly and at age 30 became the youngest lieutenant governor in Nevada history as Gov. Mike O’Callaghan’s running mate in 1970.

Elected to the U.S. House in 1982, Reid served in Congress longer than anyone else in Nevada history. He narrowly avoided defeat in a 1998 Senate race when he held off Republican John Ensign, then a House member, by 428 votes in a recount that stretched into January.

After his election as Senate majority leader in 2007, he was credited with putting Nevada on the political map by pushing to move the state’s caucuses to February, at the start of presidential nominating season. That forced each national party to pour resources into a state that, while home to the country’s fastest growth over the past two decades, still only had six votes in the Electoral College. Reid’s extensive network of campaign workers and volunteers twice helped deliver the state for Obama.

Obama in 2016 lauded Reid for his work in the Senate, declaring, “I could not have accomplished

HARRY REID | Courtesy Photo of Wikipedia. what I accomplished without him being at my side.”

The most influential politician in Nevada for more than a decade, Reid steered hundreds of millions of dollars to the state and was credited with almost single-handedly blocking construction of a nuclear waste storage facility at Yucca Mountain outside Las Vegas. He often went out of his way to defend social programs that make easy political targets, calling Social Security “one of the great government programs in history.

Reid championed suicide prevention, often telling the story of his father, a hard-rock miner who took his own life. He stirred controversy in 2010 when he said in a speech on the floor of the Nevada legislature it was time to end legal prostitution in the state.

Reid’s political moderation meant he was never politically secure in his home state, or entirely trusted in the increasingly polarized Senate. Democrats grumbled about his votes for a ban on socalled partial-birth abortion and

the Iraq war resolution in 2002, something Reid later said it was his biggest regret in Congress.

He voted against most gun control bills and in 2013 after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, dropped a proposed ban on assault weapons from the Democrats’ gun control legislation. The package, he said, would not pass with the ban attached.

Reid’s Senate particularly chafed members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats. When then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, muscled Obama’s health care overhaul through the House in 2009, a different version passed the Senate and the reconciliation process floundered long enough for Republicans to turn it into an election-year weapon they used to demonize the California Democrat and cast the legislation as a big-government power grab.

Obama signed the measure into law in March 2010. But angered by the recession and inspired by the small-government tea party, voters the next year swept Democrats from the House majority.

Reid hand-picked a Democratic candidate who won the election to replace him in 2016, former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, and built a political machine in the state that helped Democrats win a series of key elections in 2016 and 2018.

On his way out of office, Reid repeatedly lambasted President Donald Trump, calling him at one point “a sociopath” and “a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate.”

‘Profit Doesn’t Exist Anymore’ Restaurants That Barely Survived COVID-19 Closures Now Face Labor, Inflation and Supply Chain Crises

COVID-19 and the Profitability I of U.S. Oil

onald Trump had to be the most fossil-fuel friendly U.S. president of recent times.

When he became president, Trump quickly reversed Obama’s energy policies; the Keystone Pipeline was approved, imports from the Middle East were cut, and the price at the pump came down. It was claimed that America had become “energy independent” and was again a “net exporter” of oil.

In 2018, the U.S. oil business even surpassed the record petroleum production peak set in 1970.

Inasmuch as American petroleum production had been sliding downward since 1970, how did this come about? It came about because of “unconventional oil,” e.g. shale oil. But even before the COVID-19 pandemic and the installation of a new president hostile to fossil fuel, shale oil had hit a snag: financiers were losing patience with shale’s profit performance.

In November of 2019, two months before the outbreak of the pandemic in America, NPR ran “As Oil Prices Drop And Money Dries Up, Is The U.S. Shale Boom Going Bust?”

Today, shale accounts for about twothirds of U.S. oil production and nearly all of the industry’s growth, but many of the companies that made that growth possible are now struggling to stay afloat. […]

Without access to new cash, many producers are pulling back on exploration. The number of rigs drilling for new oil is at its lowest point in two years.

That’s bad news for people like Ron Fountain, who works on a drilling rig in the Bakken shale of North Dakota.

He thinks back to a few years ago, when the price of oil was more than $100 a barrel and companies were drilling with abandon.

In March of 2020, just after the coronavirus began feasting on elderly Americans, “Why This Oil Crash Is Different” ran at both the Center on Global Energy Policy and at Foreign Policy: With the economic slowdown from the coronavirus outbreak projected to cause the first annual drop in oil demand since the global financial crisis in 2009, oil prices had already plunged 20 percent in the lead up to last week’s meeting of the so-called OPEC+ group, which includes both OPEC members and several other oil-producing countries, most notably Russia.

Russia had made clear its ambivalence about cutting supply, given concerns about whether cuts would be effective in supporting prices, and Russia’s reluctance to throw a lifeline to U.S. shale oil producers struggling under low prices and high debt. […]

Even before this weekend, shale oil production growth was already projected to slow sharply due to lower oil prices and much tighter capital constraints as investors grew skeptical of the sector due to its poor profitability.

In April of 2020, with bodies piling up in makeshift morgues, The Guardian ran “US shale industry expected to shrink sharply as oil price falls”: US shale was expected to grow by 650,000 barrels a day this year before the coronavirus outbreak wiped out forecasts for global oil demand, triggering one of the steepest oil price declines on record. It is now forecast to shrink by 1.5m barrels a day compared to last year and that may accelerate even further.

Also in April of 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas ran “How the Saudi Decision to Launch a Price War Is Reshaping the Global Oil Market”: Saudi Arabia’s decision [to expand oil production] was a response to the dislocation in the global oil market caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) against the backdrop of an

already weak global economy. […]

The resulting drop in the oil price from about $35 to near $20 has further exacerbated the financial stress experienced by U.S. oil producers in Texas, Oklahoma and other oil-producing regions, which were already reeling from sharp reductions in fuel demand caused by the coronavirus.

In July of 2020, as the pandemic was raging throughout America, the Washington Post re-ran Bloomberg’s “Shale’s Bust Shows Basis of Boom: Debt, Debt and Debt”: What was very visible this spring was the steep drop in the fall of oil, driven first by OPEC actions to increase supply and then by pandemic lockdowns that decimated demand. But a crackdown by creditors alarmed at the industry’s debt levels had begun last year. […]

The pandemic and OPEC’s moves, which were driven by Russia and Saudi Arabia’s market-share war, pushed prices down steeply in March, with some oil futures prices falling into negative territory for the first time. Even when oil is at $35 a barrel, almost a third of U.S. shale producers are technically insolvent, according to a recent study by Deloitte LLP. In August of 2020, energy investor Kirk Coburn ran “The US Shale Industry: From Boom to Bust”: For years, the US shale industry was on a boom fueled by junk bonds from Wall Street. The industry was waning in 2019. In 2020, shale oil giants faced the perfect storm -- COVID-19, failed OPEC+ talks, and relentless oil price wars came to a head. Then the US shale industry went from just barely hanging on […] to a definitive bust.

The bust has been a long time coming; COVID-19 just pushed the industry over the edge.

In October of 2020, Forbes ran “As Oil Bankruptcies Surge, Vulture Investors Start Their Long Feast”: More Chapter 11s are coming, […] it will mean that management teams are finally accepting of the new reality of oil prices stuck at $40/bbl amid a continuing supply glut and pandemic-weakened demand. The world has changed, the debt-fueled fracking binge has come to an end. Many zombie oil companies cannot survive in their current form.

Alarming stuff, I’d say. But pandemic or no, shale oil is a more costly proposition than regular old conventional oil. Because of the complexity of its extraction (fracking), shale oil has a higher break-even price than does conventional oil. It’s been alleged that the Saudis and others have recently been able to pump (conventional) oil out of the ground for $10 a barrel.

In April of 2021, at Oilprice.com, we read that “Oil at $60 is undoubtedly a comfortable price level for U.S. shale.”

And since oil has been trading above that price recently, maybe the U.S. oil business can round up new investors and creditors willing to take a chance that shale oil can turn a profit.

But for U.S. oil to be profitable, the federal government needs to get a whole helluva lot smarter. Biden should start by replacing his Energy Secretary with someone who knows something about energy. Jennifer Granholm is unfit for that job. America needs an Energy Secretary with a deep understanding of both fossil fuel and its alternatives. Biden should consider someone like chemical engineer Robert Rapier (a recent article of his).

But Uncle Joe probably won’t replace Granholm with someone who knows their stuff. And he probably won’t reinstitute the policies of his predecessor.

You see, the puppet masters who control Joe don’t care about high energy prices. They’d rather ride COVID into the midterms, as vaccine and mask mandates are about all they got going for them.

t’s easy to poke fun at terrible restaurants, like the one on Gordon Ramsay’s show Kitchen Nightmares that served a mayonnaise-and-cheese sushi pizza , or the Washington D.C. Popeyes that went viral after a video revealed the franchise was overrun with gargantuan rats. (They were not of the Pixar variety that hide in chef hats and improve recipes, unfortunately). Both eateries have since shuttered permanently. Probably for the best.

But even restaurants with delicious food, competent staff and clean kitchens often must perform a near-acrobatic balancing act to survive. Too large of a menu can prevent chefs from executing every dish well, while too small of a menu can starve guests of options they like; overstaffing drives up labor costs, while understaffing leads to angry customer reviews about slow service; a bad location will thwart guests from coming through the door, but a great location often costs too much to rent.

These tightropes mean that, even in normal economic conditions, as many as 61% of independently operated restaurants fail within three years of opening, according to a widely cited 2005 analysis from Ohio State University researchers.

“It’s an incredibly highcost, low-profit-margin business, that in the best of times only barely works if you have almost a full house for every meal service that you’re selling,” says Sean Kennedy, the executive vice president for public affairs at the National Restaurant Association. “If you can make that happen, you have a good shot of getting a 3% to 5% profit margin.”

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has made those odds infinitely worse. After months-long bans on indoor dining and a slow rebound in consumer confidence, restaurant sales across the country were down $240 billion in 2020 from their expected levels. Roughly 80,000 restaurants have temporarily or permanently closed since the start of the pandemic, according to estimates from the National Restaurant Association, down from 110,000 at the peak of the pandemic.

“It was like we hit a brick wall,” says Sara Sawicki, 48, co-owner of Portland, Oregon’s Fire on the Mountain chicken wing restaurants, recalling the aftermath of March 2020. She was gearing up for a busy month of March Madness and Spring Break; instead she says she saw her profits decline by roughly 40% in the first few months of the 2020 lockdowns.

This past summer, many restaurant proprietors began to get a bit of relief. Small business association loans, paired with vaccine availability, warmer weather and a near-universal sense of pandemic fatigue, led to crowded dining rooms and resurgent profits. But they’re hardly out of the woods. After nearly two years of abysmal profits, restaurant owners are being hit by a cascading series of new challenges: inflationary pressures on key ingredients and paper products are driving up their operating costs; a global supply chain crunch has stymied delivery of everything from cream cheese to chicken wings to portion

cups for salad dressing; and the entire hospitality industry is struggling to hire and retain enough employees to operate.

Fully 85% of restaurant operators reported smaller margins than before the pandemic, according to a September field survey from the National Restaurant Association.

“The restaurant industry,” says Kennedy, “can only defy the business laws of gravity for so long.”

MISSING CHICKEN WINGS AND THE NEW COST OF FRY OIL Customers at Sawicki’s chicken wing joints have come to expect one thing when they visit her three locations: chicken wings. Unfortunately for Sawicki, global supply chain constraints made the product difficult to come by. Her suppliers would tell her, “‘I’m shorting you 10 cases of chicken [wings] on the delivery tomorrow,’” she says, “or the delivery just wouldn’t come.” In order to keep serving her restaurant chain’s staple product, Sawicki’s staff would drive to the warehouses to pick up the wings themselves. Her three restaurants would also communicate with one another, lending each other a few cases when another was close to running out.

“We managed to not run out very often. If we did, it was towards the end of the night,” she says. “But to make that happen, it took a lot of effort.”

The chicken wing shortage can be traced to unseasonal 2021 cold snaps in the American South that killed off hundreds of thousands of chickens . Covid-19 outbreaks at meat production plants further encumbered the supply chain, just as America’s pandemic eating habits—more casual takeout, less fine dining—caused a wing and pizza supply-demand imbalance that still hasn’t reached equilibrium.

Osama Yousef, the owner of two North Carolina eateries, had to temporarily take wings off the menu. But the wings are only one example of shortages. He’s also had to nix fried mushrooms and chicken strips due to sourcing problems, and has struggled to stock enough takeout packaging. More than 90% of restaurant operators experienced supply delays or shortages of key food or beverage items over the three months prior, according to the National Restaurant Association survey.

Meanwhile, the ingredients that restaurants are able to find have become markedly more expensive in recent months. The September survey showed 91% of restaurant operators reported paying more for food. A case of bacon used to cost Yousef $47.96 in 2019, for example. The same product is now priced at $85.58. A crate of onions jumped from $24.95 to $40.72. Yousef now pays 140% more than he used to for fry oil, a central

ingredient in many American restaurants. In New Canaan, Connecticut, 48-yearold restaurant owner Nick Martschenko reports the same amount of fry oil now costs him double.

Yousef ’s restaurants have added a 15% surcharge on all receipts at his two restaurants—he used to own three, but one closed permanently during the pandemic—in attempts of counteracting the price increases, but the extra tax hasn’t put his businesses back in the green. “The profit doesn’t exist anymore,” Yousef, 51, says. “We worked hard all this year for almost nothing.”

‘MY STANDARDS HAVE LOWERED’ Restaurant owners are also struggling to hire and retain a sufficient number of reliable employees.

Part of the shortage can be explained by the ongoing pandemic, which has presented would-be workers with childcare and safety concerns. The omicron variant—which has already shuttered daycares and caused some schools to resume virtual-only learning—may further exacerbate the Covid19-induced labor imbalance.

Some experts and restaurant owners also point to strict immigration policies under the Trump administration, which deterred immigrants from migrating to the United States, thus depriving restaurants of individuals willing to work relatively low-paid jobs. A November Insider analysis estimates that as many as two-thirds of the three million shortage of workers right now are immigrants who did not move to the U.S. The pandemic’s instantaneous elimination of many of restaurant industry jobs—and thus the employees’ livelihoods—back in March 2020, caused many in the sector to reconsider whether they wanted to stay in their relatively low-paid roles or move to more stable, higher paying ones. Employees “don’t want to return to backbreaking or boring, low wage, sh-t jobs,” Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration, told TIME in October. “Workers are burned out. They’re fed up. They’re fried. In the wake of so much hardship, and illness and death during the past year, they’re not going to take it anymore.”

More than 4 million people voluntarily quit their jobs in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The near-record high was most acutely felt in the food accommodation sector, where the rate of separations was higher than any other industry.

Martschenko has raised wages in the last year to be able to retain enough servers to stay open, but facing negative profit margins— and hundreds of thousands in loans he had to take out

POLITICS

Thursday, December 30, 2021 - Wednesday, January 5, 2022

NEW LAWS from A1

bacon and pork products into the conversation -- was passed in 2018.

The first deadline passed Jan. 2020, and required that egg-laying hens have adequate space. The hens have to be housed with a minimum of 144 square inches per hen. Calves intended to be sold as veal must be housed with a minimum of 43 square feet per calf.

The second part of the law is what goes into effect in January 2022.

Egg-laying hens must be cage-free, and breeding pigs must be allotted 24 square feet per pig.

Meat industry critics say it's going to drive the price of meat way up, and cause a meat shortage.

SB 389: COCKTAILS TO-GO SB 314, AB 61 and SB 389 that went into effect during the pandemic are here to stay.

The popular notion of buying alcoholic drinks to go from restaurants will be continued in 2022 after the positive effect on businesses.

There are many rules for how the alcohol is packaged and sold, which can be found here.

AB 367: FREE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS ON CAMPUS

during the pandemic and still has to repay—can’t afford to boost them much more. Instead, restaurant owners have had to get creative. Two of Martschenko’s three Connecticut restaurants cut down on lunch service and are open for dinner five days per week instead of seven. He is also introducing QR code systems in two of his restaurants that will allow customers to order and pay through their phones, in order to decrease pressure on his now smaller staffs.

On numerous occasions, Yousef has opted to send all of his employees to staff one restaurant and temporarily close the other because he hasn’t had enough employees to fill both. He admits he’s also had to

California public schools, including colleges, must provide free menstrual products to students. The signing of the bill followed a nationwide push for affordable access to pads, tampons and other items.

The Menstrual Equity for All Act of 2021 requires public schools to stock restrooms from grades 6-12 with an adequate supply of free products in all women’s restrooms and all-gender restrooms, and in at least one men’s restroom, before the start of the 2022–23 school year. It also requires California State University schools and each community college district to stock free menstrual products, and make them easy to get to.

AB 101: ETHNIC STUDIES Starting with the graduating class of 2024–25, students within the California State University system will be required to complete at least one 3-unit ethnic studies course. This won't increase the number of units a student is required to complete to graduate.

While some say it's long overdue that students were required to learn about the diverse history of California and Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American studies, others were not on board with the embattled bill. In a first iteration, the bill

was criticized for being too politically correct.

AB 1084: GENDER NEUTRAL TOY SECTIONS Large department stores will have to provide a gender-neutral toy aisle in 2022. Some critics say the government should not dictate how stores lay out their sections, while others say it's combating how some products marketed toward girls are priced higher.

Advocates say it will encourage kids to freely express themselves, and with toys separated by gender, it makes it more difficult for consumers to compare products.

The fines for stores that do not comply start at $250, and go up to $500 for each following offense.

It applies to stores with 500 or more employees.

SB 1383: COMPOSTING AND ORGANICS RECYCLING LAW The bill calls for businesses to help reduce what's called short-lived climate pollutants. The aim of the bill is to reduce the amount of organic trash that goes to landfills, which makes up a third of what goes to the landfill, CalRecycle said. Ultimately, the aim is also to reduce the greenhouse gases generated from organic materials decomposing in landfills.

It not only calls for a big commit-

www.HSJChronicle.com

ment from businesses, but also from residents. Organic waste like kitchen scraps must be separated from the rest of the trash.

Local jurisdictions are responsible for outreach and educating residents. Businesses are also to start donating edible food that was intended to be trashed.

AB 3: STREET RACING AND SIDESHOWS This new law defines a “sideshow” in California and outlines penalties for a related offense. California Vehicle Code will define “sideshow” as an “event in which two or more persons block or impede traffic on a highway for the purpose of performing motor vehicle stunts, motor vehicle speed contests, motor vehicle exhibitions of speed, or reckless driving for spectators.

Like this 50-car freeway takeover in November.

As for penalties, courts will be permitted to suspend a driver’s license between 90 days and six months. That part of the law is effective July 1, 2025.

now be dedicated to mental health.

The aim of the bill is to teach mental wellness in young people, but also to help them identify when then need to ask for help.

POLICE REFORM LAWS Gov. Gavin Newsom signed multiple police reform bills into law, including not allowing police to use rubber bullets or tear gas unless other crowd control methods have been used, and officers have no recourse. Another such bill, SB 2, aims to stop officers from transferring to other departments once they've been found to have committed serious misconduct.

SB 224: MENTAL HEALTH IN SCHOOLS In middle and high schools that already have a health education course, part of the curriculum must

AB 286: FOOD DELIVERY TIPS In a push for transparency, this new law states that tips via food delivery services and apps must go to the individual worker, and cannot go to the delivery service.

It also makes it against the law to charge a customer a purchase price higher than what is listed on the website at the time of order.

If you order for pickup, the gratuity will go to the restaurant -- not the app.

What was vetoed? A few bills, including decriminalizing jaywalking and allowing bicyclists to roll through stop signs, were vetoed.

Nevada Gaming Commission investigating organized crime, Reid became the target of a car bomb in 1980. Police called it an attempted homicide. Reid blamed Jack Gordon, who went to prison for trying to bribe him in a sting operation Reid partic-

ipated in over illegal efforts to bring new games to casinos in 1978.

Following Reid’s lengthy farewell address on the Senate floor in 2016, his Nevada colleague, Republican Sen. Dean Heller, declared: “It’s been said that it’s

better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both. And as me and my colleagues here and those in the gallery probably agree with me, no individual in American politics embodies that sentiment more than my colleague from Nevada, Harry Mason Reid.”

Kellman, an Associated Press writer in Jerusalem, covered Congress for the AP during Reid’s time as Senate majority leader. Associated Press writer Michelle L. Price in New York and correspondent Scott Sonner in Reno, Nevada, contributed to this report.

lower his expectations too. “People just don’t show up to work. You can’t really fire them because you need them,” he says. “There’s so much my standards have lowered.”

money for the industry.

But it wasn’t enough: Within three weeks of the RRF program opening applications in May, the Small Business Association received more than 360,000 applications seeking more than $75 billion in RRF relief—nearly triple the amount of funding available. Approximately 176,000 eligible applicants are still waiting in the queue for help.

Both Yousef and Martschenko blame some of the challenges restaurants are facing on the myriad of government support that went to individuals during the health crisis, including multiple rounds of stimulus checks and expanded unemployment funds, that hurt their ability to hire and prompted delays from their suppliers too. “Instead of giving people money to stay in

business,” says Yousef, “stop giving people money to stay at home.”

The National Restaurant Association says one of the most pressing issues is the number of restaurants that were not able to access the RRF funds. A bipartisan bill to replenish the program’s funds with an extra $60 billion is currently stalled in Congress.

Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat who supports the Restaurant Revitalization Fund Replenishment Act (RRFA), says he is also preparing to introduce a bill in early 2022 that would provide tax credits to small brick-and-mortar based businesses, like mom-andpop restaurants, to help level the playing field against online retail giants that thrived under the U.S. tax code, which essentially allowed them to avoid sales taxes. One of

his arguments for supporting the RRFA and introducing this new bill is that the policies would help both the small businesses and their surrounding communities. “Having a vibrant Main Street and cultural center with small stores and restaurants is essential to a community’s health,” he says. “The shutting down of these businesses and restaurants is a harbinger for the decline of a community itself.”

But whatever the solutions are, experts say they need to come fast. “The challenge right now is that Congress is only able to focus on things when they are truly at a cliff ’s edge. Our message to Congress right now is the restaurant industry is absolutely at that point,” says Kennedy. “If there isn’t action soon, a number of restaurants will not survive.”

WHAT THE INDUSTRY NEEDS NEXT Restaurants have been offered aid to get through the past two years’ challenges. They were assisted by three rounds of a program called the Paycheck Protection Program, which provided small businesses with forgivable loans to offset payroll or interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. The March 2021 American Rescue Plan Act provided further relief to restaurants, bars, caterers and other food service providers through the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), which established $28.6 billion in grant

CALIFORNIA STATE

Time Running Out to Access Changes to California Property Tax Relief GEOFFREY W. SADWITH | CONTRIBUTED

I

t is crucial that CA homeowners know which real property and personal property items are still protected from expensive property tax reassessment as we head into 2022 with new tax relief exemptions, or exclusions – and which are not protected from property reassessment, despite wide coverage afforded by Proposition 13 property tax relief in 2021.

Property owners need to know ASAP which California property tax exemptions will substantially reduce the tax burden for many thousands of residents throughout the states’ 58 counties – and which personal property and real estate categories will be assessed at full current property tax rates – and not be protected by Proposition 13 property tax relief.

And yet some properties and items are only partially exempt from paying full freight on up-to-date fair market property tax rates, such as historical aircraft; so-called livestock; most burial plots; nonprofit colleges and schools; large vessels and low-cost boats; free libraries; free museums; and art galleries.

Below is a summary of other commonly used, popular Proposition 13 assessments with updated California State Board of Equalization rulings, along with items that are not as-

sessed for property tax exemption…

HOMEOWNERS’ EXEMPTION There is a one-time filing with the County Assessor for this exemption. The Homeowners’ Exemption requires a $7,000 reduction of taxable value for owner-occupied principal residence homes. As most Californians know by now, rental properties and vacation properties are not exempt. Moreover, California does reimburse local agencies for any lost property tax revenue.

DISABLED VETERANS’ EXEMPTION Requiring a one-time filing, veterans that are affected by a medically verified disability – or a deceased veteran’s unmarried surviving spouse – have access to a property tax exemption totaling $100,000 for one primary residence. If a veteran has an income not exceeding $40,000 this property tax exemption can be increased to a $150,000 exemption, which requires a formal yearly filing. Naturally, the income limit and exemption dollar amounts are adjusted for inflation every year.

BUSINESS INVENTORY Sold or leased personal property used for normal business activity is exempt in California, without any filing requirements, however with the possibility of audits by the County Asses-

sor for verification purposes. This exemption covers business inventory such as standard products for sale or lease, animals used in the production of food, and related supplies of which the cost is added to the consumer retail price. The exemption does not cover property that was in use on the “lien date”, except for animals and normal supplies.

CROPS, TREES, AND VINES Crops grown locally are exempt, and filing is not necessary. Date palms under eight years of age are exempt; along with grapevines, which are exempt for the initial first three years; as well as orchard trees, which are exempt for four years after the first season in which they were planted.

RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION As many Californians already know, buildings, personal property, and land used exclusively and only for religious purposes are exempt from paying standard current property taxes, requiring yearly formal filing with the County Assessor. With any other use of that property, this religious exemption becomes null and void, and reverts to non-exempt status.

WELFARE EXEMPTION The so-called “welfare exemption” covers real estate that is owned and utilized for religious, hospital,

scientific, and/or charitable purposes. The California State Board of Equalization extends a one-time decision on whether an organization providing any of these specific services can take advantage of this sort of exemption – with a yearly revisit from the County Assessor to re-determine if the property is still being utilized for any of these specified purposes and therefore still exempt.

PERSONAL EFFECTS Exemptions are afforded to household furniture, equipment used for hobbies, and numerous other personal property, or personal effects, that a tax at-

torney or accountant can verify, without filing. What is not included under Prop 13 are vehicles, airplanes or boats worth over $400.

Also not exempt are properties in use for business or a trade of any kind.

PERSONAL PROPERTY A good deal of what is referred to as “intangible personal property” such as cash, bank accounts, mortgages, and stocks are exempt under Proposition 13; without having to file any documents or forms.

“LOW-VALUE” PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION Real estate, homes and

land, with a base year value and personal property with such a low value that, if not exempt, taxes and assessments on the property would be less than what it would cost to assess and collect these taxes. A county board of supervisors have the authority to authorize this type of property tax exemption in California – with a value threshold of $10,000 or under. With one exception – namely, that the $10,000 value threshold is accelerated up to $50,000 for “possessory interests that are for a temporary and transitory use in a publicly owned convention center, cultural facility, or fairground”.

that the funds could better help renters, note that the state has already spent $1.6 billion helping 137,000 households pay their pastdue rent.

California’s economy has not yet recovered from the pandemic. The state and federal governments cannot protect homeowners forever, just as they could

not protect renters indefinitely, but this safety net will provide certainty for tens of thousands of households worried about losing their homes.

California’s racial inequality: What can state do with $31 billion?

JESSE BEDAYN | CALMATTERS

IN SUMMARY A new report found stark racial inequality across California.

Advocates hope that the 2022 state budget will offer some solutions.

California is a state of contrasts. On the one hand, it is flush with a $31 billion budget surplus from the gains of the rich, enabling it to spend record amounts on schools and health care. On the other hand, a new study reveals that despite a progressive tax system, severe racial inequalities remain.

The study, Portrait of California by Measure of America, found that Native Americans’ average lifespan is 67 years, a decrease of more than 7 years since 2012. Black youth are more than twice as likely than white youth to be out of both school and work in the years following high school. And, in the city of San Jose, Latinos earn $0.46 for every dollar white workers earn.

“These inequities didn’t come out of nowhere, they are the result of policy choices,” said Laura Laderman, chief statistician at Measure of America, a project of the Social Science Research Council.

She referred, in part, to segregation and redlining that kept minority communities from taking out bank loans and accessing quality education. “That means that we can make different policy choices that lead to different outcomes.”

Democrats’ budget visions in California call for greater spending on social programs, education, and healthcare, but advocates say that, based on the study’s findings, that the state should be specifically targeting marginalized populations.

Policy experts are hopeful about Gov. Gavin Newsom’s commitment to adding $300 million for public health in the budget he will propose to the

Legislature in early January.

That funding will allow counties to identify and address specific racial inequities in their regions and potentially create an Office of Health Equity to offer further funding through state grants.

Some counties, including Orange and Alameda, already have health equity programs targeting racial inequities.

The study’s authors broke from standard measures of economic success such as gross domestic product or the unemployment rate. Instead, they used the American Human Development Index, which assesses the level of education, life expectancy, and income of different populations and assigns a score from one to 10 that signifies a group’s access to a “freely chosen life of value.”

While the typical Californian ranks higher than the average

The paths are pretty clear: We need to provide more cash assistance, healthcare and childcare services, and it has to be better targeted because the current systems aren’t reaching the communities of color.”

CHRIS HOENE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CALIFORNIA BUDGET & POLICY CENTER

American on the index, the disparities within the state are wide. The top 1% of Californians score a 9 or higher, while more than 30% of the population scores below 5, lower than the average American.

Researchers further broke down life expectancy, education, and income by race. White and Asian Californians can expect to live to 78 years old, while Latino and Native American life expectancies lag at least three years behind. Both Native American and Black life-expectancy have decreased since 2012, with Black life-expectancy dropping by 1.5 years to 74 years old.

Democrats in the state Senate and Assembly are proposing to strengthen existing safety net programs that indirectly target inequality, such as CalWORKs, the state’s welfare-to-work program, and Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program for the poor.

Democrats aim to increase spending on universities and community colleges, with the chairperson of the Assembly Budget Committee proposing $10 billion for improving school facilities . Senate leaders want to close academic learning gaps in schools through more education spending.

“California is in good fiscal health,” Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins of San Diego said in a statement. “It’s time to build on the progress we’ve made: more access to education and health care.”

NEXT STEP: TARGETED SPENDING? But progressive policy experts want to go one step further. They want targeted spending for specific groups, because as Measure of America points out, support isn’t getting where it needs to go.

Whites and Asians, for example, were three times more likely to have a bachelor’s degree as Latinos, the index noted. Similarly, Black women’s college enrollment rate is almost 4 percentage points lower than white women’s.

Progress has already been made, the report points out, with public schools in disadvantaged communities receiving more state and federal funding. But the scales could be weighted more, said Chris Hoene, executive director of the California Budget & Policy Center. Some advocates are pushing for an idea called targeted universalism, in which government support would target specific groups such as Native Americans or Latinas, not just low-income individuals.

“The paths are pretty clear: We need to provide more cash assistance, healthcare and childcare services,” said Hoene, “and it has to be better targeted because the current systems aren’t reaching the communities of color.”

White and Asian workers earn a median income above $51,000 annually, while Black, Native American, and Latino workers earn less than $37,000. In every rural and urban area in California, White workers make above the median income and Latino workers earn below the median, according to the report.

Democrats acknowledge that more work needs to be done.

“California’s progressive revenues are funding the state at record levels, but inequity remains,” said state Sen. Nancy Skinner of Berkeley, who supports increased investment in affordable housing and infrastructure.

In recent years, California has authorized additional cash aid for the poor through programs such as the Golden State Stimulus (the statewide cash assistance program to support low-income households during the pandemic) and guaranteed income. Advocates want to see more because there are no strings attached to that financial help — and it gets into the hands of the groups most in need of support.

While Laderman said she is concerned that “all of these gaps that we have seen will have widened” during the pandemic, she is optimistic that “there are certain opportunities in these moments in the pandemic to invest in the interventions that are necessary.”

Elizabeth Holmes jury finishes fifth day of deliberations MICHAEL LIEDTKE | CONTRIBUTED

T

he jury weighing fraud charges against former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes left the court Tuesday without reaching a verdict after a fifth day of deliberations. Holmes is facing 11 criminal charges alleging that she duped investors and patients by hailing her company’s blood-testing technology as a medical breakthrough when in fact it was prone to wild errors.

The eight men and four women on the jury have been meeting in a San Jose, California, federal courthouse after absorbing reams of evidence in a three-month trial that captivated Silicon Valley.

The jurors are scheduled to resume their discussions Wednesday morning.

Last week, the jury sent out two notes to U.S. District Judge Edward Davila -- one making a swiftly rejected request to take their instructions home with them for further study and another that allowed them a replay of a 2013 recording of Holmes discussing Theranos’ dealings with prospective investors.

For the second consecutive day this week, the jurors went through Tuesday’s session without providing any clues as to how far long they are in their deliberations.

The case has attracted worldwide attention. At its core is the rise and fall of Holmes, who started Theranos as a 19-year-old college dropout and then went on to break through Silicon Valley’s male-dominated culture with her bold claims and fundraising savvy. She become a billionaire on paper before it all evaporated amid allegations she was more of a charlatan than an entrepreneur.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF HILLERY LEE SHEPPARD. CASE NO. PRRI2102063 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: HILLERY LEE SHEPPARD. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed

by RAQUEL SHEPPARD in the Superior Court of California, County of RIVERSIDE. The petition requests RAQUEL SHEPPARD be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on 1/14/2021 at 08:30A.M. in Dept: 8 located at RIVERSIDE HISTORIC COURTHOUSE, 4050 MAIN STREET RIVERSIDE, CA 92501.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court.

If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
