Trump Organization convicted in executive tax dodge scheme MICHAEL R. SISAK | AP NEWS

D

onald Trump’s company was convicted of tax fraud Tuesday for helping executives dodge taxes on extravagant perks such as Manhattan apartments and luxury cars, a repudiation of financial practices at the former president’s business as he mounts another run for the White House.

A jury found two corporate entities at the Trump Organization guilty on all 17 counts, including charges of conspiracy and falsifying business records. Trump himself was not on trial. The verdict in state court in New York came after about 10 hours of deliberations over two days.

The conviction was validation for New York authorities who say their three-year investigation into Trump and his businesses is continuing. The probe, which began as an inquiry into hush-money payments made on Trump’s behalf, later morphed into an examination of the company’s asset valuation and pay practices.

The company faces a fine of

up to $1.6 million. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 13. The defense said it will appeal.

“A former president’s companies now stand convicted of crimes. That is consequential,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said outside the courtroom. “It underscores that in Manhattan we have one standard of justice for all.”

Trump, a Republican who launched his 2024 campaign last month during the trial, blasted the verdict as a part of a Democrat-led “MANHATTAN WITCH HUNT!” “This case is unprecedented and involved no monetary gain to these two Corporations,” Trump said in a statement, adding: “New York City is a hard place to be ‘Trump.’”

The verdict adds to mounting legal woes for Trump, who faces a criminal investigation in Washington over the retention of top-secret documents at his Mara-Lago estate, as well as efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Those inquiries are being led

by a newly named Justice Department special counsel. The district attorney in Atlanta is also leading an investigation into attempts by Trump and his allies to overturn his loss in that state.

The verdict also comes amid a series of self-inflicted crises for Trump in recent weeks, including anger over his dinner with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and the antisemitic rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and the former president’s for the “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” to address his baseless claims of mass election fraud.

The Trump Organization — and Trump’s management of it — was at the center of “The Apprentice,” the reality show that solidified his global celebrity. That fame in turn helped fuel his unlikely political rise, allowing him to sell himself to voters as a successful businessman who could take lessons from that sphere and apply them to Washington.

The Manhattan case against the Trump Organization was built

largely around testimony from the company’s former finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, who previously pleaded guilty to charges that he manipulated the company’s books to illegally reduce his taxes on $1.7 million in fringe benefits. He testified in exchange for a promised five-month jail sentence.

To convict the Trump Organization, prosecutors had to convince jurors that Weisselberg or an underling he worked with on

the scheme was a “high managerial” agent acting on the company’s behalf and that the company also benefited.

Trump Organization lawyers repeated the mantra “Weisselberg did it for Weisselberg” throughout the monthlong trial, contending that he had gone rogue and betrayed the company’s trust.

Weisselberg attempted to take re-

USS Arizona survivor: Honor those killed at Pearl Harbor AUDREY MCAVOY AND HAVEN DALEY | AP NEWS

U

SS Arizona sailor Lou Conter lived through the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor even though his battleship exploded and sank after being pierced by aerial bombs.

That makes the now 101-yearold somewhat of a celebrity, especially on the anniversary of the Dec. 7, 1941, assault. Many call him and others in the nation’s dwindling pool of Pearl Harbor survivors heroes.

Conter rejects the characterization.

“The 2,403 men that died are the heroes. And we’ve got to honor them ahead of everybody else.

And I’ve said that every time, and I think it should be stressed,” Conter said in a recent interview at his Grass Valley, California, home north of Sacramento.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Navy and the National Park Service will host a remembrance ceremony at Pearl Harbor in honor

of those killed.

Last year about 30 survivors and some 100 other veterans of the war made the pilgrimage to the annual event. But the U.S. Navy and the National Park Service anticipate only one or two survivors will likely attend in person this year. Another 20 to 30 veterans of World War II are also expected to be there. Conter won’t be among them.

He attended for many years, most recently in 2019. But his doctor has told him the five-hour flight, plus hours of waiting at airports, is too strenuous for him now.

“I’m going on 102 now. It’s kind of hard to mess around,” Conter said.

Instead he plans to watch a video feed of this year’s 81st anniversary observance from home. He’s also recorded a message that will be played for those attending.

Conter’s autobiography “The Lou Conter Story” recounts how one of the Japanese bombs pene-

trated five steel decks on the Arizona and ignited over 1 million pounds of gunpowder and thousands of pounds of ammunition.

“The ship was consumed in a giant fireball that looked as if it engulfed everything from the mainmast forward,” he wrote.

He joined other survivors in tending to the injured, many of whom were blinded and badly burned. The sailors only abandoned ship when their senior surviving officer was sure they had rescued all those still alive.

The Arizona’s 1,177 dead account for nearly half the servicemen killed in the bombing. The battleship today sits where it sank 81 years ago, with more than 900 of its dead still entombed inside.

Conter wasn’t injured at Pearl Harbor, during World War II or the Korean War. This year’s remembrance ceremony is the first to be open to the public since the 2019. The pandemic forced the adoption of strict public health measures for the last two years.

David Kilton, the National Park Service’s chief of interpretation for Pearl Harbor, said he’s not sure how many people will attend but they’re anticipating between 2,000 to 3,000 people.

Hefty Pay Raises For RivCo Elected RIVCO DUI CHECKPOINT YIELDS Officials Rejected By Supervisors 4 ARRESTS, STOLEN CAR Four people were arrested during a DUI checkpoint, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department announced Sunday.

During the checkpoint conducted late Friday and early Saturday, a total of 963 drivers were contacted.

A total of 33 drivers were cited for operating a vehicle without a valid driver's license. Five more were cited for driving with a suspended driver's license, officials reported.

During the checkpoint, deputies arrested one person for allegedly driving under the influence.

Two other people were arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

One person was arrested for vehicle theft, and the vehicle was recovered. A total of 12 vehicles were towed, reported the sheriff's department.

Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-

ministration.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, San Jacinto Station offers these reminders to ensure you have a safe night of fun that doesn’t involve a DUI: • Always use a designated sober driver – a friend who is not drinking, ride-share, cab or public transportation – to get home.

• See someone who is clearly impaired try to drive?

Take the keys and help them make other arrangements to find a sober way home.

Report drunk drivers – Call 911.

• Hosting a party? Offer nonalcoholic drinks. Monitor who are drinking and how they are getting home.

Getting home safely is cheap, but getting a DUI is not! Drivers caught impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be upwards of $13,500. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses not to mention possible jail time.

$35 MILLION INTERSTATE 215 OVERPASS IN MENIFEE Officials in Menifee Monday broke ground on a $35 million freeway overpass project intended to expedite traffic flows going east and west near the city center.

"The Holland Road Overpass is a critical infrastructure improvement project that will help alleviate traffic on Newport Road and expand overall mobility across our community," Councilwoman Lesa Sobek said.

"Improving traffic congestion remains a high priority for our City Council, which is why we have invested nearly $500 million in capital improvement projects that will improve the quality of life for our residents here in Menifee."

Sobek was joined by Mayor Bill Zimmerman and several other council members, as well by as Western Riverside Council of Governments Deputy Executive Director Chris Gray, for the groundbreaking at the project site, where Holland meets Interstate 215.

The location lacks a freeway over-crossing of any kind.

The new overpass, slated

to be completed by the end of 2024, will feature four lanes, as well as bicycle lanes, sidewalks and noise-reducing retaining walls.

"The Holland Road Overpass will be a key regional connection relieving congestion for both Menifee residents and residents of the county," Gray said.

"This project is a major eastwest corridor, and funding the overpass will benefit everyone traveling through the area."

In addition to Newport Road, it's anticipated that the bridge will relieve traffic jams on Scott Road, which also runs east and west, according to city officials.

The project will require extending Holland Road on the west side of the freeway, realigning Willowood Lane and carving out a new culde-sac at Dutch Circle.

The project budget is comprised of funds from a local sales tax approved in 2016, as well as shared county transportation fee revenue and other regional sources, officials said.

n a 4-0 vote, the Board of Supervisors Tuesday rejected proposed double-digit percentage salary increases for five Riverside County elected officials.

"Please, if you like, you can spend time explaining why these poor elected officials (are) being starved to death, but don't waste your time on me," Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said ahead of the vote.

Jeffries set the tone for the debate over the proposed pay hikes for incoming Auditor-Controller Ben Benoit, Assessor-Clerk-Recorder Peter Aldana, District Attorney Mike Hestrin, Sheriff Chad Bianco and Treasurer-Tax Collector Matt Jennings.

Joining the supervisor in his opposition were board Chairman Jeff Hewitt and Supervisors Manuel Perez and Chuck Washington.

Supervisor Karen Spiegel abstained.

"I really don't see any reason right now to propose higher salaries," Perez said.

"If folks want to study this further, they can. But right now, I'm not supporting this."

Spiegel signaled a willingness to entertain the proposed hikes but requested additional time so the Executive Office could produce a more thorough report justifying the timing, process and necessity of the requested raises. Her motion to delay the vote to January was opposed 3-2.

"These are fine individuals, but they ran knowing what their salaries were going to

be," Moreno Valley resident Roy Bleckert, a frequent commentator on board actions, said before the vote.

"Passing this right after an election is sticking it to the people who pay those salaries. Why is this even on the agenda with no staff report?

There's nothing. We have a problem here."

Jeffries complained that the "optics" were bad, given the board's recent denial of pay adjustments for InHome Supportive Services caregivers.

"We have a new auditor-controller who, without ever even stepping into the building, is alleged today to be entitled to a $61,000 pay raise," the supervisor said.

"A month ago, the in-home workers came asking for a $1.50 per hour raise. We said, sorry we cannot give you an additional buck-fifty.

But now we're going to give the new auditor-controller $61,000?"

According to the Department of Human Resources, the proposed pay hikes were intended to bring the officials' salaries up to levels that ensure they're not making less than some of their executive-level underlings, who are receiving hefty salaries thanks to collective bargaining agreements and other factors.

In government speak, when the boss makes less than a subordinate, the disparity is known as "compaction."

The last round of raises for all five positions was in 2014. However, Hestrin, individually, received a raise in 2018.

The 2014 hikes were approved on a 3-2 vote of the

The salary hikes would have increased annual base compensation for the assessor-clerk-recorder, auditor-controller and treasurer-tax collector by 32%, from $195,192 to $256,814. The district attorney and sheriff would each have received a 13% hike. | Courtesy Photo of Shutterstock

board, with then- Supervisor Jeff Stone joining Jeffries in opposing the increases, arguing that the effects of the Great Recession were an ongoing drag on the county's finances, and there was no justification for boosting officials' base pay.

Jeffries, now the most senior board member, has declined all proposed salary increases for himself in the last decade.

The salary hikes would have increased annual base compensation for the assessor-clerk-recorder, auditor-controller and treasurer-tax collector by 32%, from $195,192 to $256,814.

The district attorney and sheriff would each have received a 13% hike, raising their annual base pay from $273,463 to $308,197.

The Department of Human Resources said "external market surveys" were conducted to gauge the appropriate compensation levels for the five elected officials going forward. The surveys weren't included on

the board's policy agenda.

Salary schedules analyzed by City News Service showed that, had the increases been approved, both the sheriff and D.A. would have received annual base compensation rivaling the earnings of counterparts in surrounding counties. Hestrin's proposed $308,197 yearly salary would have compared to $185,981 for Imperial County's top prosecutor, $293,128 for Orange County's, $249,221 for San Bernardino County's and $287,227 for San Diego County's.

Meantime, Bianco's proposed $308,197 annual income would have compared to $170,672 for Imperial County's sheriff, $254,715 for Orange County's, $270,291 for San Bernardino County's, and $279,198 for San Diego County's top lawman.

Riverside County man arrested for stabbing mother, nearly killing her KTLA | CONTRIBUTED

A

man wanted for severely stabbing his elderly mother has been caught and arrested in San Diego County on Sunday.

The suspect, Pascual Carlos, 51, allegedly stabbed his 74-year-old mother nearly to death on Sept. 28, according to the Riverside County Sheriff ’s Department.

Deputies responded to a stabbing near the 300 Block of South Kirby Street in San Jacinto around 9 a.m. They found the elderly victim suffering from “several severe

stab wounds,” authorities said.

The victim told deputies her son had stabbed her and then fled the scene. Authorities conducted an “extensive search” for the suspect, but he was nowhere to be found.

Officials say the search for Carlos spanned several counties across the southland before he was finally tracked down and arrested in San Diego County on Nov. 27.

He was arrested and booked on charges of attempted murder and is being held on $1 million dollars bail.

The elderly victim is still re-

He recalled working with a young man during the Soboba Tribal TANF summer program who was a great sketch artist. Young said he taught Christian Rivera how to create digital art and ended up using one of his creations on a program for Soboba’s annual Intertribal Powwow back in 2013 and giving him artist credit on it. Young said he always likes to encourage students to find jobs in fields they already have a passion for.

So, to a degree my work does involve maintaining AI students to finish their degrees.”

As a San Diego State University graduate and citizen of the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, Levi is in an ideal position to address issues and concerns AI students may have about their education at this level.

“My involvement with our AI students is one of being their ‘strict’ uncle; making sure they are studying, asking about their grades and just being there for them,” he said. “I am part of a support team to make them less anxious and/or alienated at CSUSB. I am also the Staff Advisor for our CSUSB American Indian Student Organization.”

Levi works alongside First People’s Center Director Carlos Gonzales, VP of Student Affairs Dr. Molly Springer and the Office of Student Engagement to assist, in any way, the American Indian students.

He said during the career and college fair, most students who visited his table wanted to know about financial aid, campus life, living in the dorms, classes and what CSUSB has to offer American Indian students. He was able to share with them that most of the current AI students at the university are majoring in U.S. History, anthropology, nursing, psychology and political science.

Angel Parties SUSAN BECKETT | DWELLING PLACE CITY CHURCH

Y

ears ago our church produced a Christmas program featuring several fun holiday skits. One in particular ended up truly thought-provoking. The skit involved a group of people celebrating a birthday - gifts, cards, decorations, birthday cake - they were having a grand old time. Then came time to sing “the song” — “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear ____, dear ____.” Suddenly they all stopped singing as one by one they realized no one knew whose birthday was being celebrated. Someone finally broke the silence with, “Hey, whose birthday is it anyway?”

It’s pretty easy these days to understand why folks seem a bit foggy as to the reason we celebrate Christmas. So, just for fun, let’s pretend for a minute that a little green man gets dropped off from Mars in mid-December. And let’s say that our ET ends up at our local Hemet mall.

He’s moving from store to store listening to Christmas songs, one right after the other.

At first, it seems to our ET that this delightful season must be about Frosty, a big fun-loving snowman who enjoys playing with children until he melts away. But no, wait…another song…now there’s a holly, jolly Santa. Apparently, he drops off gifts to kids all over the world in a single night, using a sleigh

center which overlooks the water and the white structure built to honor those killed on the Arizona.

Organizers have set a theme of “Everlasting Legacy” for this year’s ceremony, highlighting how fewer and fewer survivors remain. “We honestly have to know and be prepared that eventually we won’t have the ability to connect with their stories and have them with us anymore,” Kilton said. “And it’s hard to to come to grips with that reality.”

Conter went to flight school after Pearl Harbor, earning his wings to fly PBY patrol bombers, which the Navy used to look for submarines and bomb enemy targets. He flew 200 combat missions in the Pacific with a “Black

and reindeer as his primary mode of transportation.

Quite a feat. Probably solar powered on the side! It’s all very confusing at this point for our ET, so he scratches his little head and decides to move on.

Another store another song. This time there’s a Little Drummer Boy followed by Jingle Bells on a White Christmas day.

Oh-oh, wait…incoming… better make that a Blue Christmas on a Silent Night. And just when our ET thinks he’s got it all figured out, he hears, “We Three Kings with Silver Bells Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree. So confusing and now he has a gigantic earth migraine!

Personally though, I love this time of year, even with all its various traditions, customs and assorted songs. I actually think that’s part of the appeal of this unique season. Having all this variation wrapped up in one holiday offers a multitude of avenues for people to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” So much creativity and joy!

Proverbs 17 even reminds us that “A merry heart does good like medicine.”

The truth is, this amazing holiday wouldn’t even exist without God so loving the world that He sent His Son as our Redeemer! Such an incredible gift, plus - God even threw the most incredible out-of-this-world birthday party ever!

The Christmas story tells of angels - multitudes of them - descending on shepherds watching over their sheep one dark night.

Apparently, these heavenly-beings scared the dayCats” squadron, which conducted dive bombing at night in planes painted black.

One night in 1943 he and his crew had to avoid a dozen or so nearby sharks after they were shot down near New Guinea.

When one sailor expressed doubt they would survive, Conter responded “baloney.”

“Don’t ever panic in any situation. Survive is the first thing you tell them.

Don’t panic or you’re dead,” he said. They were quiet and treaded water until another plane came and dropped them a lifeboat hours later.

In the late 1950s, he was made the Navy’s first SERE officer — which is an acronym for survival, evasion, resistance and escape. He spent the next decade training Navy pilots and crew on how to

But now, back to our ET who has slowly worked his way down to the west end of the mall and into the last store. Yet this time he hears, “Come on ring those bells, light the Christmas tree, Jesus is the King, born for you and me!” That’s different, he thinks, just as “Hark!

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he wants to keep the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate in place to protect the health of the troops, as Republican governors and lawmakers press to rescind it.

This past week more than 20 Republican governors sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking that the administration remove the mandate, saying it has hurt the U.S. National Guard’s ability to recruit troops.

Those troops are activated by governors to respond to natural disasters or unrest.

Congress may consider legislation this coming week to end the mandate as a requirement to gather enough support to pass this years’ defense budget, which is already two months late.

Austin said he would not comment on pressure from the Hill.

“We lost a million people to this virus,” Austin told reporters traveling with him Saturday. “A million people died in the United States of America. We lost hundreds in DOD. So this mandate has kept people healthy.”

“I’m the guy” who ordered the military to require the vaccine, Austin added. “I support continuation of vaccinating the troops.”

Last year Austin directed that all troops get the vaccine or face potential expulsion from the military; thousands of active duty forces have been discharged since then for their refusal to get the shots.

COMMUNITY

California held its first commission aimed at addressing rise in statewide hate crimes

SARAH MIZESTAN | CONTRIBUTED

I

n response to the sharp rise in reported hate crimes across California, the state has created a Commission on the State of Hate to discuss community-driven solutions.

The Commission, which includes representatives from the Asian American, African American, Native American, Latino, Jewish and LGBTQ communities, met for the first time on Thursday and heard updates on the state’s long-promised hate crimes hotline, and how to address the fear of police, as expressed by a number of communities.

“The steep rise in hate crimes and incidents come at a time where public confidence in our government and institutions is also at an all time low,” said Assembly member Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica). “Justice can seem evasive as extremists are emboldened by the reckless hate speech and dog whistling that comes from some of the most powerful places in society.”

Commission members will host four community forums each year to discuss the state of hate. They will also advise the Legislature and Governor’s Office on policy recommendations for how to best address hate crimes.

Commission members were also updated on the state’s long-promised hate crimes hotline.

“I was very excited to hear that this was a program but maybe two years ago there was an issue of staffing and capacity,” Commissioner Cynthia Choi asked. She also inquired about language translation services for hate crimes reporting.

The state has said they’ve gotten renewed funding for the next three years to create the hate crimes hotline and that the hotline is now up and running.

“We are going to demonstrate the ways in which this really can make an impact, it is such a smart investment in communities to do the work this way,” said Becky Monroe, Deputy Director at the state’s Civil Rights Department.

Commissioners discussed ways to combat community fear of police.

Some also stated a desire to be mindful of not over-criminalizing hate crimes, particularly in a way that would further incarcerate people of color.

“We have a multiplicity of offenders, some are young, first time offenders,” said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University San Bernardino. “In New York City, 40 percent of arrestees for hate crimes in the first six months of the year were classified as

emotionally disturbed persons. So we know in the same way homeless people or people who have mental conditions are warehoused carcerally, we wouldn’t like to see that,” he said.

The Commission is charged with putting out an annual report on the state of hate crimes in California, slated for release in July 2023. According to a recent report from the Attorney General’s office, California saw a 32% increase in documented hate crimes between 2020 and 2021, with the most dramatic increase seen in the Asian American community.

Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

Trump, who announced last month that he is running again for president, made the claim over the weekend on his Truth Social media platform.

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote.

“Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

Incoming House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday described Trump’s statement as strange and extreme and said

Republicans will have to make a choice whether to continue embracing Trump’s anti-democratic views.

“Republicans are going to have to work out their issues with the former president and decide whether they’re going to break from him and return to some semblance of reasonableness or continue to lean in to the extremism, not just of Trump, but Trumpism,” Jeffries said.

Trump, who is the first to be impeached twice and whose term ended with his supporters violently storming the Capitol in a deadly bid to halt the peaceful transition of power on Jan. 6, 2021, faces a escalating criminal investigations, including several that could lead to indictments. They

OPINION

Thursday, December 08 - Wednesday, December 14, 2022

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: For several years, I have gone to a medical specialist I’ll call “Eric” for certain issues. Eric’s wife, “Nina,” and I were very close friends. Our families celebrated holidays and special occasions together.

However, over the course of our friendship, Nina shared many details about their personal lives with me. They are now separated.

My knowledge of these details makes me feel very uncomfortable about seeing Eric. I would like to see another doctor in the practice, since all of my records are there. I’m not sure how to ask for another doctor without giving some reason, and I do not want to cast aspersions on Eric professionally. Your advice, please?

- TIME FOR A CHANGE DEAR TIME: Depending upon the size of the practice, you may not be questioned about why you want to make the change. However, if Eric confronts you, all you have to say is that you prefer to see someone else from now on. Period. If you are questioned further, take your business -- and your records, which belong to you -- to another specialist in a different practice.

Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I can’t remember when I’ve read a more one-sided and biased rant than the one by Muhammad Naeem (Another Pandemic) as I read this past week in the Chronicle. Name-calling, misinformation, racist comments, and blatant lies rip this great nation apart on every front, and his submission was replete with them.

Fortunately for the states in America, united together under a Constitution, we are governed by a binding set of laws. Fortunately too, we don’t have a king overseeing our constitution - it stands alone.

Unfortunately, it takes only one person seizing advantage of a do-nothing congress to run over our Constitution and pretend kingship - as President Biden is now doing!

Throwing President Trump under the bus and the 73.6 million Americans who voted for him only shows ignorance of our remarkable Constitutional Republic. Thankfully our system was engineered to work with a check and balance system, but when that stalls, we end up with 22 months of failed leadership and a sharp decline for the United States and its people.

As a Washington Times opinion reporter stated, “The Democrats have turned politics into raw sewage that stinks to high heaven. Watching President Biden’s continuous blunders and missteps should tell everyone to be very weary of our downfall as a society.”

I couldn’t agree more! Our energy independence is being destroyed. Biden has pandered to China and given them a full pass over Covid. Our current president has all but surrendered our Southern boarder, with millions of illegals crossing over, including drug dealers, human traffickers, terrorists and other violent criminals.

The Biden administration knowingly left over $7 billion in military equipment in Afghanistan for the terrorists to keep in his disastrous withdrawal. And - the U.S. is officially in a recession, with unemployment at levels unseen since the Great Depression. It’s said to be the worst economic downturn in the history of the industrialized world.

So Mr. Naeem, you are telling us that Trump is the bad guy here and people are “sick” for supporting him? I think you’d better rethink that diagnosis!!!

AMERICAN THINKER

The Left Preaches, but Doesn’t Practice, Diversity

BRIAN C. JOONDEPH | THE AMERICAN THINKER

D

iversity, equity, and inclusion are rallying cries of Democrats and the left, spawning an entire industry dedicated to achieving these goals, regardless of necessity, practicality, fairness, or cost.

Diversity simply implies differences, an innate feature of humans as no two people look, act, or think the same. Here is a definition from one such organization whose goal is that we all march to the diversity, equity, and inclusion drumbeat.

Notice that most characteristics cannot be discriminated against by law, not hiring or firing someone over their race or religion, for example.

At the bottom of the list is a surprising focus on diversity, namely political perspective.

This means that companies and institutions that proudly practice diversity and virtue signal over their wokeness, should themselves be leading the charge of making sure that their organizations seek diversity in not only gender and sexual orientation, but also political perspective.

How are the woke companies and institutions doing? Are they walking the diversity walk or simply talking the talk?

The College Fix answered this question, “Zero Republican professors found across 33 departments at seven universities.” What are these universities? “The Ohio State University, University of Nebraska-Omaha, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of Georgia, Cornell University, University of Oklahoma and the University of Alaska-Anchorage.”

These are all large elite institutions, a mix of pub-

lic and private, and even a school from the uberwoke Ivy League.

Taking their analysis further, “The College Fix identified just 61 Republican professors across 65 departments at seven universities. In contrast, 667 professors were identified as Democrat based on their political party registration or voting history in party primaries.”

How is that for diversity of political perspective? It’s not the university locations either, “Six of the seven states analyzed are primarily Republican, with the exception of New York. Yet, all universities showed a strong Democratic tilt among their faculty.”

These school are far left islands, as are most major universities, even if surrounded by conservatives outside their ivy-covered walls. “When broken into Democrat and Republican, 92 percent of professors identify as Democrat and only 8 percent identify as Republican. That amounts to Democrat professors outnumbering Republican professors by a ratio of 11 to 1.”

Yet these schools allocate enormous resources toward diversity. Cornell, for example, has a website devoted to diversity and inclusion, including restroom and facilities guidelines and supplier diversity. But there is no section emphasizing political diversity, hence Cornell and other similar universities only selectively creating diversity, becoming politically homogenous.

Ohio State has a similarly flashy website emphasizing “inclusive excellence and racial justice” but no acknowledgement of political perspective diversity.

American universities have always leaned left, but it has become more pronounced in recent de-

cades, as research from the Higher Education Research Institute found, “In 1989-1990, when HERI first fielded this survey, 42% of faculty identified as being on the left, 40% were moderate, and another 18% were on the right. This is not a normal curve – it is a clear lean to the left.”

Flashing forward, “Almost three decades later in 2016-2017, HERI found that 60% of the faculty identified as either far left or liberal compared to just 12% being conservative or far right.

In 1989, the liberal: conservative ratio of faculty was 2.3. So in less than 30 years the ratio of liberal identifying faculty to conservative faculty had more than doubled to 5.”

Another study from a Brooklyn College professor found, “Democrats dominate most fields.

In religion, the ratio of Democrats to Republicans is 70 to 1. In music, it is 33 to 1. In biology, it is 21 to 1. In philosophy, history and psychology, it is 17 to 1. In political science, it is 8 to 1.”

This analysis of liberal-arts colleges ranked highly by US News and World Report, “Found no field in which Republicans are more numerous than Democrats.”

It’s not only academic institutions not walking the diversity walk, but also tech companies.

These are the companies quick to pressure customers or even entire states that for example feel it is inappropriate for young girls to use a men’s bathroom, all in the name of tolerance and diversity. But when it comes to political diversity, these companies fall short and feel no need to practice this type of diversity themselves.

Here is a short list of woke tech companies and the percent of their

employees’ political donations going toward Democrats. Netflix 98%, Nvidia 93%, Adobe 93%, IBM 90% Salesforce 89%, Alphabet (Google) 88%, Microsoft 85%, Apple 84%. From a 10:1 to an 81 ratio, there is no diversity of political perspective in big tech.

One gem in the recent Twitter Files reveal was that Twitter employees contributed to Democrats over 96% in 2018, increasing to virtually 100% in 2022. How is that for political diversity? Twitter was likely, at least pre-Musk, staffed by representatives of most of the 72 genders, making them gender diverse. But for politics, only one perspective is tolerated.

Those who screech “diversity” the loudest, are the least diverse when it comes to that one pesky aspect of diversity, namely “political perspective”.

While they gush over how progressive it is that America has an Assistant Secretary of Health and an Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition who are both grown men who dress as women, within their own companies, only one political viewpoint is encouraged or tolerated.

One can argue against the entire concept of “diversity”, where people are categorized and promoted based on superficial characteristics rather than following the words of Martin Luther King, Jr, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Imagine how much richer educational and corporate institutions would be with diversity extending to differing political viewpoints. And at the least giving credibility to other aspects of diversity, allowing the woke virtue signalers to practice what they preach.

COMMUNITY OPINION

To: Student Leader Applauds California’s Free School Meals for All KRISTIE TO | CONTRIBUTED

T

his school year, California’s new “School Meals for All” program began. As a student leader serving my school, the city of Irvine, and the California Association of Student Councils, I applaud California for being the first state to provide every K–12 student in our public schools with free breakfast and lunch.

My peers and I rely on school breakfast and lunch every day. Many of my closest friends do not have the time and are not in the financial situation to provide themselves with meals to fuel their school day and concentrate in class. My parents and older sister have full-time jobs, and I struggle to prepare meals for myself with my busy schedule. This new program has alleviated the stress of buying and preparing meals that previously strained students and families. Additionally, the free school meal program

brings together the student body as a community. My friends and I often join the lunch line together, and I enjoy making conversation with my peers as we wait to be served our meals. When everyone receives meals for free, students are more likely to eat at school.

Our state grows the most fruits and vegetables in our country. I’d like to see more fresh California produce in our school meals. My school has a neighboring orchard, yet I receive packaged pineapple at school.

It’s not local or sustainable.

I urge my school to source more local foods, serve a variety of fruits and vegetables, and reduce packaging waste.

California’s free school meal program has changed my life and transformed the school day for six million students in our state. Without the burden of being responsible for buying and creating nutritional meals for myself, I can better focus on my education and positions as a student lead-

Veterans Corner RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

T

he American Legion is one of, if not the largest, Veterans organizations in America. It received a congressional charter in 1919 and has diligently served American military veterans ever since. The City of Hemet is blessed to have a very active post, worthy of a weekly column to let our citizens know what is going on in our active and veteran military community.

This is the first of a weekly column called Veteran’s Corner that will be carried by the Hemet/San Jacinto Chronicle. As a veteran of World War II and the Korean War I know a little

sponsibility on the witness stand, saying nobody in the Trump family knew what he was doing.

“It was my own personal greed that led to this,” an emotional Weisselberg testified.

But prosecutor Joshua Steinglass alleged in his closing that Trump “knew exactly what was going on” and was “explicitly sanctioning tax fraud.” Bragg slipped into the courtroom

something about veterans, Today the Legion proudly serves 2.4 million in 14,000 posts worldwide.

There are 55 departments (one for each of the fifty states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines).

The Harold W. Hyland Post 53 in Hemet has assisted local veterans in housing, vehicles, and numerous other needs over the years and supports many other causes and programs you may never even thought about. I will be talking about all these things and events every week, and I welcome any insights from local veterans.

Since Joe Males took

over as Commander there have been many changes and the post has become a popular hang out for veterans and their families.

In addition to his duties as Hemet City Councilman, he has brought new facilities to the Post, the new bar (open daily) has become a very popular addition.

There are activities for bikers, scouts, karaoke wonks and dinners. Keep your eye on this column and I will keep you informed. Many of the Post’s events are open to the public in order to better merge with the community.

So look forward to the big Christmas bash and toy giveaways coming up. Just sayin’ rustystrait@gmail.com

include the probe into classified documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago, and ongoing state and federal inquiries related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Asked about Trump’s comments Sunday, Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said he “vehemently” disagrees and “absolutely” condemns the remarks, saying they should be a factor as Republicans decide who should lead their party in 2024.

“There is a political process that has to go forward before anybody is a frontrunner or anybody

is even the candidate for the party,” he said. “I believe that people certainly are going to take into consideration a statement like this as they evaluate a candidate.”

Rep.-elect Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., also objected to the remarks, saying it was time to stop focusing on the “grievances of prior elections.”

“The Constitution is set for a reason, to protect the rights of every American,” Lawler said. “I think the former president would be well-advised to focus on the future, if he is going to run for president again.”

Trump’s comments came after Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, said he would reveal how Twitter engaged in “free speech suppression” leading up to the 2020 election. But files released

as the verdict was being read. Afterward he refused to answer questions from reporters, ducking behind a glass door as he was asked if he regretted Trump wasn’t charged personally.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office assisted in the investigation, called the verdict a “clear message that no one, and no organization, is above our laws.”

In some ways it’s a limited victory for prosecutors, however.

No one, save for Weissel-

berg, is going to prison. No one is putting a padlock on Trump Tower or forcing the company out of business.

And a potential $1.6 million fine is a rounding error on the budget of an enterprise that boasts billions of dollars in assets.

Still, the Trump Organization may now run into some trouble getting loans and making deals, and New York City could have more leverage to try to end the company’s contract managing a city-owned golf course in the Bronx.

But even as the trial was unfolding, the company struck a deal with Saudi developer Dar Al Arakan to license the Trump name for a golf, hotel and residential development in Oman.

Next year, three of Trump’s golf courses will host tournaments for Saudi-backed LIV Golf.

The bigger threat to the company could be the civil lawsuit James filed in September alleging that it misled banks and others about the value of its many assets, a practice she dubbed the

“art of the steal.”

James, a Democrat, is asking a court to ban Trump and his three eldest children from running a New York-based company and is seeking to fine them at least $250 million. As a preliminary measure, a judge has appointed an independent monitor to oversee the company’s operations while the case is pending.

Bragg inherited the Trump investigation when he took office in January.

His predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., had authorized

his deputies to seek a grand jury indictment for Trump, but Bragg soon shut that down and they quit.

Officially, he says, the investigation is “active and ongoing.”

On Monday he sent his strongest signal yet that he’s interested in pursuing more charges, hiring former acting U.S. Assistant Attorney General Matthew Colangelo to lead the probe. Bragg and Colangelo worked together on Trump-related matters at the state attorney general’s office.

he Chabad Jewish Community Center of Riverside's annual Hanukkah festival will return to the steps of the Riverside Historic Courthouse next month, featuring a Menorah lighting, singing, dancing and a collective welcome to the synagogue's newest member — the rabbi's infant daughter.

Rabbi Shmuel Fuss is extending an open invitation to residents of Riverside and surrounding communities to attend the 18th annual festival, where his growing family will join him, along with members of the Riverside City Council, District Attorney Mike Hestrin, at least one Riverside County supervisor and other officials to mark the second night of Hanukkah on Dec. 19.

Fuss and his wife Tzippy announced the arrival of their seventh child earlier this month. The infant girl's name will be publicly announced to the congregation this week, and she is expected to be with her siblings at the festival.

The two-hour event will be held at its traditional location, in front of the downtown courthouse. It has only been relocated once since 2004, and that was during the coronavirus

public health lockdowns of 2020, when the rabbi conducted a "mobile" festival in the parking lot of Riverside City College, where participants sat in their cars while he lit a menorah.

As in previous years, the Dec. 19 celebration will feature a "Grand Menorah Lighting," during which a city official or other invited guest will light the candles of a gold-colored menorah that stands over 8 feet high.

A Hasidic band will play a variety of music, and Fuss will lead guests in celebratory dancing. Food will be widely available.

The festival generally

draws over 2,000 people.

Hanukkah commemorates the Maccabees' victory over a larger Syrian army in 165 B.C. Once the Jews defeated the Hellenist forces at the end of a three-year rebellion, the temple in Jerusalem, which the occupiers had dedicated to the worship of Zeus, was re-dedicated in God's honor by Judah Maccabee, who led the insurgency.

According to the story of Hanukkah, Maccabee and his soldiers wanted to light the temple's ceremonial lamp with ritually pure olive oil as part

of their re-dedication but found only enough oil to burn for one day. The oil, however, burned for eight days in what was embraced as a miracle.

Hanukkah, which means "dedication" in Hebrew, is observed around the world by lighting candles at sundown for eight nights. The reason for the lights is so passers-by might see them and be reminded of the holiday's miracle.

More information about the festival is available at www.ChanukahFestival. org.

What’s the status of California’s upcoming $10M electric bike rebate program?

alifornia allocated $10 million for a rebate program to help make electric bikes more affordable. But hang on there; it’s not active quite yet.

The move is part of a years-long effort to help reduce the price of expensive electric bicycles for state residents. The ultimate goal is to make it easier for commuters to switch from car transportation to e-bike transportation.

It makes sense when you consider the long list of benefits. From cleaner air to reduced traffic and improved health/fitness, electric bikes solve many of the problems plaguing California (and the rest of the country).

But the path towards a statewide incentive program to reduce e-bike prices hasn’t been quick or easy.

California has earmarked over $1 billion this year as incentives for electric cars and charging infrastructure, according to Streetsblog. That’s in

addition to the billions already put into electric car incentives.

Back in 2019 electric bikes finally got the attention they deserved from lawmakers when California’s S.B. 400 was passed, which included a section that permitted electric bikes to be included in future clean air vehicle incentive programs.

That paved the way for the possibility of statewide e-bike rebate programs, but it didn’t actually create any.

Last year California got one step closer to that

goal when it included a $10M allocation in the state budget for an e-bike rebate program. As Assemblymember Boerner Horvath said at the time: “Making e-bikes more affordable is one of the most effective ways to get Californians out of their cars and reduce emissions.

I’m thrilled that the full funding I requested for purchase incentives, education, and training is included in the budget we approved. This program represents a priority shift

More of Your Paycheck Is Going to Pay Rent. Which Cities Are Keeping Pace?

Since the start of the pandemic, the average U.S. renter is working six hours more each month to cover housing costs.

ith skyrocketing rents, landlords aren’t just taking more of your cash — they’re spending more of your time.

The typical full-time employee in the United States worked nearly 63 hours in October to pay an average rent of $2,040 — almost six hours more than in October 2019, before the pandemic, according to data from the listing company Zillow.

In other words, about 36 percent of the average renter’s gross income is spent on housing.

“That is rent-burdened,” said Jeff Tuck-

er, a senior economist at Zillow who focused his analysis on work hours to give renters a sense of what rising rents truly cost. (Generally, spending more than 30 percent of gross income on rent is considered unaffordable, according to the New York University Furman Center).

The widening gap is the result of a frenzied housing market spurred by big-city workers relocating to relatively cheaper markets, as wage increases have struggled to keep pace, Mr. Tucker said. The average hourly wage has grown 23 percent over the past five years, according to Zillow’s analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics

data — but national rents have climbed almost 37 percent during the same period. (Zillow used a repeat-rent index, which compares price changes for individual apartments).

Among the 50 largest U.S. metro areas, the markets where workers spent the most time covering the rent were in cities that surged in popularity during the pandemic, primarily in sunny California and Florida. The least affordable market was Miami, where the average full-time employee needed to work 96 hours a month — more than two and a half weeks of

in the right direction and, once implemented, will help folks from all backgrounds choose a healthier, happier way to get around.”

That was another huge step in the right direction, but it hasn’t yet resulted in an active program.

That’s expected to begin in early 2023, with a number of key guidelines for California’s first statewide

RENT

from C3

Thursday, December 08 - Wednesday, December 14, 2022 e-bike voucher program already laid out.

According to the California Bicycle Association, the program will create a $750 voucher for a standard electric bicycle and a $1,500 voucher for a cargo electric bicycle. There will be additional incentives for anyone whose income is under 225% of the federal poverty level (FPL) or who lives in disadvantaged communities.

But in order to qualify for the voucher, participants’ household income

must be below 400% of the FPL, which amounts to $51,000 for a single person and $106,000 for a family of four at current figures.

The program will include Class 1 electric bikes (pedal assist up to 20 mph or 32 km/h) and Class 2 electric bikes (pedal assist and/or throttle up to 20 mph or 32 km/h), but will NOT include Class 3 e-bikes (pedal assist up to 28 mph).

Qualifying bikes must also either be purchased at

a local bike shop in California, or online from a company that has “a business location in California”.

The move could see California align with other states that have created or already implemented electric bicycle incentives.

Vermont became the first state in the US to offer a statewide e-bike rebate program. Oregon is also working on creating an e-bike incentive program that could soon become law, as New York attempts

to do the same.

Many cities such as Denver, Colorado have also implemented their

own local programs, though the funding is usually much smaller than statewide programs.

by 50 percent.

The second most time-consuming market was Riverside, Calif., where it took 88.5 hours to pay an average rent of $2,584, followed by New York City (nearly 85 work hours to cover the average

$3,212 rent), San Diego (84 hours for $3,105 rent) and Los Angeles (80 hours for $2,979 rent).

The least grueling cities to eke out a living were lower-paying metros primarily in the Midwest.

The most affordable mar-

ket was St. Louis, at just under 37 hours to cover the average $1,273 rent.

Only three metros became slightly more affordable over the past three years: San Francisco, San Jose and Boston — pricey markets where wage

growth has more closely matched climbing rent.

Two big factors account for swelling prices: a national inventory shortage, and the migration of more affluent renters to less expensive markets, Mr. Tucker said. “You can rent

and buy a place in Florida for what still seems like a bargain by New York standards,” he said. “That’s contributing to an affordability challenge, and it’s especially acute for the people whose jobs are tied to the local economy.”

Same-sex couples wary despite federal marriage rights bill TAMMY WEBBER | AP NEWS

M

ary and Sharon Bishop-Baldwin were jubilant after winning a decadelong fight for the right to wed in Oklahoma.

But eight years after tying the knot — on the day they won their lawsuit challenging a state ban on gay marriage — and seven years after the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed same-sex couples’ constitutional right to marry, they no longer take their union for granted.

While they’re happy that Congress is moving swiftly to ensure nationwide recognition of same-sex and interracial marriages, they — like many in LGBTQ communities — are frustrated it’s even necessary after so many years and are unsure whether it’s enough.

“The very fact we’re even having these conversations is really disheartening to me,” especially given a dramatic shift in public opinion over the past decade, with polls showing 70% of U.S. adults now favor same-sex marriage rights, said Sharon Bishop-Bald-

win, 54.

But when the high court overturned Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed abortion rights, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested in a concurring opinion that the decision upholding gay marriage should also be reconsidered. That prompted Democrats to act quickly to protect same-sex marriage while the party still holds the majority in both chambers of Congress.

The Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act last week with support from 12 Republicans; it’s expected to easily win approval in the House before being signed by President Joe Biden.

At first, Sharon Bishop-Baldwin said, she thought the act was “lip service.” But she changed her mind because it would at least provide some protection.

“It’s ridiculous to think that anybody in this country who has legally married one place could suddenly be unmarried in another,” Bishop-Baldwin said.

When the couple filed

MARRIAGE RIGHTS BILL:

their 2004 Oklahoma lawsuit, 76% of state voters had just approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

Ten years later, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a federal appeals court ruling that declared the state ban unconstitutional. A year later, the high court decided in another case that all states had to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

“When we won, one of our lawyers said, ‘This is game, set, match, mar-

riage’ ... and that’s what we thought: We’re done,” said Bishop-Baldwin, who runs a small newspaper and met her wife in 1995 when both were editors at the Tulsa World.

The legislation wouldn’t codify, or enshrine into law, the Supreme Court decision requiring states to issue same-sex marriage licenses. But if that decision were overturned and states revived bans, they still would have to recog-

nize same-sex marriages performed legally in other states.

“I can’t imagine that happening at the Supreme Court ... but we have to be prepared,” said Mary Bishop-Baldwin, 61, who notes that Oklahoma’s ban is still on the books.

The possibility has created “a state of extreme anxiety and stress” among same-sex couples, said Jenny Pizer, chief legal officer at Lambda Legal, an LGBTQ civil rights group.

That’s especially true for those with children, she said. Currently, both spouses are considered legal parents, which is especially important if one of them dies or they divorce.

“So this bill really does matter,” Pizer said.

Some also fear the high court or a future Congress could undo the federal legislation.

“Every time the House and Senate overturn, you’ll wonder what might happen this time,” said Dawn Betts-Green, 43, who lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with her wife, Anna Green, whom she married in Flor-

ida in 2016. “It’s honestly in the hands of whoever we elect, and that is scary.”

A scenario in which constitutional protections are overturned by the Supreme Court and the Respect for Marriage Act is overturned by the court or Congress might be a long shot, but “it is certainly possible for there to be a series of events that really took us back to that earlier time when it was incredibly difficult for families,” Pizer said.

“The idea of returning to those days, frankly, is terrifying,” she said.

Betts-Green and her wife hurried to complete paperwork, such as wills and powers of attorney, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, getting “all of our legal ducks in a row (because) they’re clearly coming for us,” she said, recalling a time when her wife was hospitalized in Florida — before they were married — and a nurse said Betts-Green would not be permitted to make medical decisions.

Avenatti sentenced to 14 years California eyes penalties for oil companies’ big profits in California fraud case AMY TAXIN | AP NEWS

I

ncarcerated lawyer Michael Avenatti was sentenced to 14 years in prison on Monday in Southern California and ordered to pay more than $10 million in restitution after admitting he cheated four of his clients out of millions of dollars.

The sentence should run consecutively to the five years in prison he is currently serving for separate convictions in New York, U.S. District Judge James V. Selna said during a hearing in Santa Ana, California.

It is the last of three major federal criminal cases to wrap up against the 51-year-old Californian, who rose to fame as he represented porn actor Stormy Daniels during her legal battles with Donald Trump and became one of the former president’s leading adversaries.

Avenatti pleaded guilty earlier this year to four counts of wire fraud and a tax-related charge despite not reaching a plea deal with federal prosecutors, saying he wanted to be accountable and spare

his family further embarrassment. He was accused of negotiating and collecting settlement payments on behalf of his clients and funneling the money to accounts he controlled, and spending it on his own lavish lifestyle, including a private jet.

“Despite the significant advantages that this defendant had — a first-rate education, a thriving legal career — he chose to commit the deplorable acts in this case time and time again,” prosecutor Brett Sagel told the court. “The defendant is just another criminal who thinks the law is something that applies to other people.”

His voice breaking, Avenatti apologized to the clients he bilked, including two who told the court about how losing the money and their trust in someone they thought had their back upended their lives.

“I am deeply remorseful and contrite,” Avenatti said.

“There is no doubt that all of them deserve much better, and I hope that someday they will accept my apologies and find it in their heart to forgive me.”

Avenatti is currently serving prison time for stealing book proceeds from Daniels — who sued to break a confidentiality agreement with Trump to stay mum about an affair she said they had — and for trying to extort Nike if the shoemaker didn’t pay him up to $25 million.

alifornia could become the first state to fine big oil companies for making too much money, a reaction to the industry’s supersized profits following a summer of record-high gas prices in the nation’s most populous state.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democratic allies in the state Legislature introduced the proposal Monday as lawmakers returned to the state Capitol in Sacramento for the start of a special legislative session focused solely on the oil industry.

But the proposal was missing key details, including how much profit is too much for oil companies and what fine they would have to pay for exceeding it.

Newsom’s office said those details would be sorted out later after negotiations with lawmakers. Any money from the fines would be returned to the public.

Gas prices are always higher in California because of taxes, fees and environmental regulations that other states don’t have.

But in October, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in California was more than $2.60 higher than the national average — the biggest gap ever.

Newsom said there was no good way to justify that.

Speaking to reporters, Newsom compared the actions of oil companies to price gougers charging more for hand sanitizer during the pandemic. He said the goal of the penalty is to prevent gas prices from shooting up similarly in the future, calling it “a proactive effort in order to change behavior.”

“We’re burning up. We’re choking up. We’re heating up because of these folks,” Newsom said, referring to the oil industry and its impact on the environment.

“And people are barely able to pay their bills because of these folks.”

It could be a popular proposal with voters, who have been paying more than $6 per gallon of gasoline on average for much of the year.

But that doesn’t mean it will be easy to get it through the state Legislature, where the oil industry is one of the top spenders on both lobbyists

and campaign contributions.

Crucially, the proposal classifies the fine as a “civil penalty” and not a tax.

That means only a simple majority would be needed for passage, instead of the two-thirds majority that is required to raise taxes.

“Whatever Gov. Newsom wants to call it, this is a tax and it’s going to have the same impact that all taxes do on consumers, and that is to raises costs, not bring them down,” said Kevin Slagle, spokesperson for the Western States Petroleum Association. “We think the governor should be honest about what this is and let the legislators vote on a tax and sell it to the California public as a tax and see how people feel about it.”

The California Legislature is in session most of the year, typically considering hundreds of bills. The governor can call lawmakers into a special session limited to discussing issues he specifies. Newsom said he called the special session on gas prices because it would help lawmakers focus on the

Public Notices in this newspaper help me participate in my community.

State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper. I subscribe to it, and I read it.

I read legal notices to find out when those people will meet, what rules and laws they’re talking about and when I can offer my two cents worth.

Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet alert me to what’s going on around here?

The answer to that is obvious.

No, it would not.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.

Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

When you’re comparing plans ...  Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.  Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid.  Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.

The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

Act makes Betts-Green feel a little more secure, she said, though “I find it absolutely ridiculous that we’re having to go through this kind of thing in 2022, not only just for queer people, but also interracial marriages. It’s not 1941, but it certainly feels like we’ve gone back in time.”

The issue of same-sex marriage also is overshad-

owing other concerns, including anti-LGBTQ legislation and harassment of and attacks on LGBTQ people, most notably the recent shooting at a Colorado nightclub that killed five people, Betts-Green said.

“I’m constantly reminded that this is the least of our issues in a lot of ways,” she said.

Minneapolis legal aide Robbin Reed, a white woman who is married to a Black transgender man, supports the act but worries it could mean more danger from people who might be angered by its protections.

“The law won’t really change anything about my life ... because there’s still so much to worry about,”

said Reed, who has an 8-month-old child and performs with her husband in queer nightclubs. “This is a ridiculous situation to be in.”

The Bishop-Baldwins said they doubt the Supreme Court will strip away same-sex marriage rights, but are relieved there will be some protections in place just in case.

Still, federal legislation shouldn’t even be required, they say.

“Is the Respect for Marriage Act good enough?

No, of course not. Good enough should be” constitutional protection, said Sharon Bishop-Baldwin.

Betts-Green said nothing would surprise her now: “You can never really be comfortable.”

In another, he collected a $4 million settlement from Los Angeles County for a man who suffered in-custody injuries and was left paraplegic after a suicide attempt, but never told him the money was received. Instead, authorities said Avenatti used the funds to finance his coffee business and pay personal expenses, and gave the man smaller amounts ranging

from $1,000 to $1,900 that he called advances on the broader settlement.

The man, Geoffrey Johnson, told the court the deception was about more than money.

“I am not sure I ever can trust anyone else again,” Johnson said. “I continue to have nightmares that people are out to get me. My view of humanity has certainly changed, and not for the better.”

In addition to the prison sentence, Avenatti was ordered to pay more than $7 million in restitution to his clients and more than $3 million to the Internal Revenue Service. The government dropped all other remaining charges against Avenatti stemming from a 36-count indictment.

Authorities said the case against Avenatti started out as a civil tax issue but widened into a far-reaching

criminal probe.

Avenatti, who represented himself in the proceedings, asked the court to consider the good he did as a lawyer before and aside from his crimes. He referenced helping reunite immigrant children separated from their parents by the Trump administration, and representing a rape victim while out on bail in this case. He said a lengthy sentence at his age would

not give him a meaningful chance to do right by his victims or to be a father to his children.

Selna noted Avenatti had done much good in his life, but said that wasn’t all.

“He has also done great evil, for which he much answer,” the judge said before sentencing him. “It is now time to pay his debts to the victims, the government and society.”

they had no idea what Newsom was proposing. A few senators joined reporters at Newsom’s news conference outside Senate chambers just to hear what he had to say.

“I don’t think anybody objects to (oil companies) having a business model that makes a profit, but the extent to which they’re taking advantage of people really does appear to be un-

fair,” said state Sen. Ben Allen, a Democrat from Santa Monica, expressing general support for Newsom’s concept.

Republicans, who don’t have enough votes to influence legislation, denounced the proposal.

“The last thing that we need to do is increase the cost on Californians who are already paying far too much,” Assembly Republi-

can Leader James Gallagher said.

Adding to the uncertainty is an unusually high number of newly elected lawmakers about to take seats for the first time. Roughly a quarter of the Legislature’s 120 members are new, with two close races still unresolved.

Among the new state senators is Angelique Ashby, a Democrat who narrowly won election after an

intense campaign. The oil industry spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on radio and TV ads supporting Ashby’s campaign, a trend noticed by critics who tried to use it against her.

Ashby said she hasn’t been approached by lobbyists or others from the oil industry asking how she would vote on a potential penalty. She noted the oil industry spent the money

as “independent expenditures,” meaning she had no control over that spending during the campaign.

“Campaign slogans and strategies of my opponent are a thing of the past,” said Ashby, whose district includes Sacramento. “I’m fixated on the people of Senate District 8 and I will make my decision based on what is in their best interest.”
