Newsom proposes $300.7B budget in May revision By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

It’s that time of year: Gov. Gavin Newsom presented his revised budget proposal Friday, presenting a proposal totaling $300.7 million. The proposal includes about $37.1 billion in reserves, encompassing $23.3 billion for a rainy day fund, $9.5 billion for a school stabilization reserve and $900 million for a safety net reserve. Gov. Newsom’s budget is underscored by a $97.5 billion projected operating surplus. The revision includes funding for public safety, education, housing, gas tax relief and initiatives to combat homelessness. “Backed by a robust surplus and grounded in our unshakable values, we’re paving the California Way forward to prosperity and progress for all,” Gov. Newsom, who is up for reelection this year, said. “With historic investments, we’re doubling down on our formula for success and making sure no one is left behind — supporting working families and businesses, tackling climate change, expanding health care access, making our communities safer and more.” Included in Gov. Newsom’s budget proposal is an $18.1 billion package for “inflation relief.” That package includes $11.5 billion

in tax refunds, $2.7 billion for emergency rental assistance and $1.4 billion for utility bill aid. It also includes funding for three months of free public transit and checks for hospital and nursing home staff. Gov. Newsom included $660 million in public safety initiatives with nearly half of that earmarked for efforts to combat the opioid epidemic. Other funds were proposed to help tribes locate and identify missing and murdered indigenous people and protect child victims of sex trafficking. “Safety has to be broadly defined right now,” Gov.

Scott Walker, the Young America’s Foundation president and a former Wisconsin governor, addresses an audience Friday at the The Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara.

By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was in Santa Barbara Friday to give a speech about “winning the long game” — or

reaching younger people with conservative messages. Mr. Walker, now the president of Young America’s Foundation, addressed a roomful of supporters Friday at the nonprofit’s Reagan Ranch Center

in Santa Barbara, decrying what he perceived as the state of education across the country. The former Republican governor recalled an anecdote of elementary schools learning about communism and an Iowa

school district partnering with Black Lives Matter on a project. “Winning the long game requires more, younger and better. We’ve got to get to more Please see WALKER on A6

(The Center Square) – Michigan moms and babies relying on a steady supply of baby formula are joining families nationwide stymied by supply chain issues, product recalls, and record 40year high inflation that’s left many baby formula shelves bare. Lynn Sutfin, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman, said the problem affected about 85% of the more than 200,000 people in the Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) program that gives recipients about $30 to $112 or more per month. The state will prioritize “meeting our families’ most critical and immediate needs,” Ms. Sutfin said in a statement. WIC is a federally funded Special Supplemental Nutrition Program of the Food and Nutrition Service of the United States Department of Agriculture that serves low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women and children up to age five. Datasembly, a company that tracks real-time product pricing, says the baby formula stockpile is 43% of the regular supply. “This issue has been

compounded by supply chain challenges, product recalls and historic inflation,” Datasembly CEO Ben Reich said in a statement. “The category started to see stocking challenges beginning in July 2021, and the situation has continued to worsen into 2022.” On February 17, the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to use certain powder infant formula from Abbott Nutrition’s Sturgis plant. The FDA said Abbott recalled the products after the common environmental bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii was alleged to have killed two infants and sickened others. “We recognize that many consumers have been unable to access infant formula and critical medical foods they are accustomed to using and are frustrated by their inability to do so,” FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf said in a statement. “We are doing everything in our power to ensure there is adequate product available where and when they need it.” U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, a Holland Republican, tweeted a picture of nearly bare shelves in Grandville. “This was the scene yesterday Please see FORMULA on A3

Missouri is the latest state to join a lawsuit challenging the Biden administration’s decision to allow California to impose its own more stringent greenhouse gas emission standards and vehicle emissions standards. Led by Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt, Missouri joined 16 other states Friday in challenging the Environmental Protection Agency reinstating the California rule. The Clean Air Act had allowed California to enact its own emissions standards if granted a waiver by the EPA, but the Trump administration had revoked that ability. At the time, then-President Donald Trump said the revocation would lead to safer and cheaper vehicles. But the EPA in March said the previous administration’s actions were “decided in error and now entirely rescinded.” The states’ lawsuit contended the EPA could not waive the Clean Air Act preemption for just California because the statute cited to do so violates the states’ equal sovereignty. “Over 40% of the nation’s motor vehicles are manufactured in California and the 13 other

states that follow its emission standards. If California is able to set restrictive ‘gas emissions’ standards, manufacturing becomes astronomically expensive, and those additional costs are passed onto consumers, many of which are Missourians,” Attorney General Schmitt, a candidate for U.S. Senate in the Show-Me State, said. “The Trump administration understood that, and prohibited California from setting its own oppressive standards,” he continued. “The Biden administration has since repealed the Trump order and given California the go-ahead to set green manufacturing standards, which in reality, crush the average American who is already facing astronomical prices at the pump because of the Biden administration’s failed policies.” In March, Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, thanked the Biden administration for “righting the reckless wrongs of the Trump administration and recognizing our decades-old authority to protect California and our planet.” The EPA’s move opened up the ability for other states to adopt California’s standards. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

By VICTORIA ANTRAM Yes on the California Living Wage Act, the campaign behind an initiative to increase the state’s minimum wage to $18, announced Thursday they had collected over 1 million signatures.

For employers with 26 or more workers, the minimum wage would reach $18 on Jan. 1, 2025. For employers with 25 or fewer workers, the minimum wage would reach $18 on Jan. 1, 2026.

Santa Barbara County reported 128 new COVID-19 cases Friday. Santa Barbara County is conducting quality assurance to align with the California Department of Public Health and added 15 backlogged cases Friday. Of those, the highest number, 34, was in Santa Barbara and unincorporated Mission Canyon, according to the Public Health Department. Twenty were in Santa Maria, and neighboring Orcutt had seven cases. Elsewhere, 16 cases were reported in Lompoc and nearby Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village. Three cases were in the North County areas that include Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and Guadalupe. Nineteen cases were in Isla Vista. Santa Ynez Valley

reported three cases. Eleven cases were in Goleta. Seven cases were in unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota. Four cases were in the South Coast corridor, which includes Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria. The locations of four cases were pending. Thirteen patients are recovering in county hospitals. Another three are recovering in intensive care units. Santa Barbara County now has a total of 88,060 cases, of which 652 are still infectious. The total number of deaths is 687. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported that 73.1% of the eligible 5-and-older population is fully vaccinated. Of the entire county population (all ages), 68.8% is fully vaccinated. All numbers are provided by the health department. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

After reaching $18 an hour, the minimum wage would be tied to the CPI-W. Currently, the state’s minimum wage is $15 for large employers and $14 for smaller employers. In California, the number of signatures required for an initiated state statute is 623,212, which is equal to 5% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election. Joe Sanberg filed the ballot initiative on Dec. 3, 2021. He said, “This is an issue that speaks to people’s everyday lives. It’s easy to explain and easy to understand and I expect we’re going to win. We’re planning this to win.” Please see WAGE on A3

Newsom unveils $18.1 billion relief package to address inflation By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a $18.1 billion dollar relief package on Thursday to address rising inflationary costs by leveraging the state’s budget surplus. The package, introduced a day before Gov. Newsom is set to reveal the revised state budget, comes as Californians are still paying the highest prices in the nation for gas and facing rising prices at the grocery store due to inflation and supply chain issues. A large portion of the relief package – $11.5 billion – is dedicated to tax refunds for Californians and includes the governor’s rebate proposal announced in March to send $400 checks to every registered vehicle owner, with a cap of two checks per individual. Gov. Newsom’s gas relief proposal also included three months of free public transportation, and his relief package includes $750 million to fund it. “This inflation relief package will help offset the higher costs that Californians are facing

right now and provide support to those still recovering from the pandemic,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement. The funding package utilizes the state’s budget surplus to “get money back into the pockets of Californians,” Gov. Newsom said. Last week, Senate Democrats indicated that the surplus has stretched up to $68 billion, far higher than the $29 billion estimated in January. Under Gov. Newsom’s proposed relief package, hospital workers and skilled nursing facility workers who have delivered care “to the most acute patients” during the pandemic would be eligible for $1,500 as part of $933 million earmarked for hospital and nursing home staff. The relief package also includes: • $2.7 billion to provide emergency rental assistance to low-income tenants who applied for assistance before March 31 • $1.4 billion to help residents pay back past-due utility bills, including $1.2 billion for electricity and $200 million for water bills • $304 million to expand “health

insurance premium assistance under Covered California for families of four earning up to $166,500 annually” • $439 million to pause the diesel sales tax for 12 months • $157 million to “waive child care fees for low-income families” “These investments will make a meaningful impact on the lives of Californians by making health care and child care more affordable while also providing relief for the many who struggled to afford the cost of energy during the pandemic,” Health & Human Services Agency Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said in a statement. The state will also see its minimum wage increase to $15.50 an hour for workers starting January 1, 2023, Newsom’s office announced Thursday. The “accelerated increase” comes as a result of inflation exceeding 7%, according to the governor’s office. “The wage increase will benefit millions of California households that are struggling to keep pace with the highest rate of inflation in decades,” Gov. Newsom’s office said in a news release.

The governor’s homelessness plan includes investments into encampment cleanup grants, tiny home grants for local governments to utilize, Homekey expansion and implementation of his CARE Court plan. This May revision includes an additional $700 million from the $2 billion proposed in January to address homelessness. As expected, the governor’s budget includes an additional $57 million for reproductive health care services — up from $68 million in January — in the wake of a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion overruling Roe v. Wade. The Democratic governor slammed U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for his role in delaying a Supreme Court appointee from then-President Barack Obama at the end of his term — paving the way for former President Donald Trump to put three people on the bench. Gov. Newsom also didn’t miss opportunities to hit red states, such as Florida and Texas, during his presentation. “I see some of those governors out there, their big idea of education reform is what you can’t say in a classroom,” Gov. Newsom said, hitting those who have focused on regulating so-called critical race theory or banning books. “That’s what all the time and attention goes to. That’s not education period, let alone reform.” The governor’s budget includes $128.3 billion in TK-12 funding, about $19 billion more than was included in the January proposal. This translates to about $22,800 total per pupil and nearly $17,000 in Proposition 98 per-pupil spending. “I’m very supportive of the Governor’s proposed increased investment in California’s education system,” Santa Barbara County Supervisor Gregg Hart, a Democratic contender for Assembly, told the News-Press Friday. “The Governor’s education funding increase will be the highest per-pupil funding level in the state’s history.” State Superintendent Tony Thurmond said the investments unveiled in Gov. Newsom’s proposal would alleviate the stress schools feel as they

California was first state with $15 minimum wage WAGE

Continued from Page A2 The Working Hero Action for the Living Wage Act PAC is funding the campaign. It reported $10.88 million in contributions in its latest campaign finance filings. Mr. Sanberg has contributed $10.87 million. The campaign has received endorsements from AFSCME California PEOPLE, the California Faculty Association, Unite Here Local 11, UPTE-CWA Local 9119, and SEIU Local 87. It has received opposition from the National Federation of Independent Business. John Kabateck, the state director of the federation, said, “Market, not politicians and bureaucrats, ought to be dictating the financial growth and success of working men and women in California. Let the market dictate this and let’s stop sending the message that mediocrity is a pathway to professional success in California.”

California was the first state to reach $15 per hour in 2022. As of January 2022, eight other states had passed laws or ballot measures increasing their statewide minimum wage rates incrementally to $15 per hour. Signatures are first filed with local election officials, who determine the total number of signatures submitted. If the total number is equal to at least 100% of the required signatures, then local election officials perform a random check of signatures submitted in their counties. If the random sample estimates that more than 110% of the required number of signatures are valid, the initiative is eligible for the ballot. If the random sample estimates that between 95 and 110% of the required number of signatures are valid, a full check of signatures is done to determine the total number of valid signatures. If 623,212 signatures are verified by June 30, the initiative will appear on the ballot at the November general election.

Newsom takes swipes at McConnell, GOP governors attempt to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds will be instrumental for student mental health and teacher retention, Superintendent Thurmond said. Ahead of Friday’s presentation, Republican legislative leaders stressed the budget should include a full gas tax moratorium, an increase in the renter’s tax credit and the implementation of a student tax credit to offset rising transportation, housing and other school expenses. “California is going to hell in a handbasket under a one-party rule,” said Senate GOP Leader Scott Wilk of Santa Clarita. After Friday’s presentation, Sen. Wilk said: “The governor is living in an election-year Fantasyland if he believes debit cards and rebates in the fall will provide relief now.” Republicans also said the state should prioritize investments in water storage and wildfire preparation. Gov. Newsom’s proposal does include $2.7 billion for wildfire resilience efforts and $2 billion (on top of last year’s $5.2 billion) for near- and long-term efforts to address drought. Additionally, it included funding to cool schools and neighborhoods dealing with excessive heat. “Santa Barbara County residents will also be very pleased to see the increased state investment in wildfire protection and drought assistance,” Supervisor Hart said. “These programs will directly assist our local government efforts to protect our communities from the increasing impact of climate change.” Ahead of the governor’s revisions, the Volcker Alliance, a non-profit founded by the late Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker, warned California was at risk of encouraging a “fiscal cliff” by earmarking the deluge of one-time federal relief funds for projects needing recurring expenditures. “It’s nice we have extra revenue, but we have to be careful with how we spend it,” Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Red Bluff, said in a statement Friday. “We absolutely should not create new, future funding obligations. Budget priorities need to be focused on water infrastructure, wildfire prevention, homelessness and public safety.”

After helping the SBCC football team complete one of its best seasons in recent memory and reach its first bowl game since 2016, linebacker Taylor Hiatt has signed with Benedictine College in Illinois. “Taylor is a linebacker from Santa Ynez. He came back from a

knee injury and played key roles on defense and special teams during our season this past year.” Hiatt played in eight games during his sophomore season with the Vaqueros, totaling 14 tackles, two sacks and 2.5 tackles for a loss. The former Santa Ynez High School standout finished the regular season strong with two of

his top performances. He set a new season-high with four tackles in a 52-7 win over Santa Monica on Nov. 13, also registering 1.5 sacks for a loss of 15 yards. The following week, he went for four tackles once again with half a sack and a tackle for a loss. In the Vaqueros’ bowl game against Palomar, he recovered a fumble for SBCC’s only forced

turnover of the game. Hiatt will be majoring in engineering at Benedictine College, a school that had an identical record as SBCC going 7-4 this past fall. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: sports@newspress.com

White House launches website for formula resources By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The White House has launched a new website with information and resources for families impacted by the ongoing infant formula shortage. The site (HHS.gov/formula) provides various contact information for several manufacturers, including Abbott Nutrition and Gerber. It also

includes links to community resources, like United Way and Feeding America, that might have supplies. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday the Biden administration is urging states to provide flexibility with what formulas WIC programs cover. “This work is far from over,” Ms. Psaki said. “And in the days ahead, you’ll hear about new actions we’re taking to increase safe infant

formula.” A nationwide formula shortage — exasperated by recalls and supply chain issues — has left families scrambling to find needed products. California fares better than nearly every other state when it comes to out-of-stock rates for formula — albeit, the shortage is still felt. California is at 32% out-of-stock, according to Please see WEBSITE on A5

WIC clients should return the recalled formula to any retail store or can request a refund here. Parents should reach their pediatrician with any questions.

Meanwhile, Abbott is working to reopen the Michigan factory. “Subject to FDA approval, we could restart the site within two weeks. We would begin production of EleCare, Alimentum and metabolic formulas first and then begin production of Similac and other formulas. From the time we restart the site, it will take six to eight weeks before product is

available on shelves,” Abbott said in a statement. “We know the recall has worsened an already existing industry-wide infant formula shortage in the U.S. and we’ve been seeing and hearing the stress and despair of parents who are facing empty shelves. We deeply regret the situation,” Abbott said.

After a fire broke out at the Tajiguas landfill Thursday, heavy equipment was used to sort piles in order to aid the firefighting effort.

Person rescued from Santa Barbara structure fire Santa Barbara City Fire Department rescued an unnamed individual from a structure fire in the 500 block of West Canon Perdido Street Friday morning around 11 a.m. The fire department responded to the report of a fire and a potential victim with three fire engines, one truck company and a Battalion Chief, according to Kevin Corbett, the public information officer for the department. Firefighters found a “working fire” and “made an aggressive interior attack” while locating the resident. The person was transported to awaiting paramedics and taken to a local hospital with the help of Santa Barbara Police officers. The individual’s condition was not immediately known as of Friday evening. Firefighters did not find any additional victims and were able to get the fire under control “within minutes,” said Corbett. The fire did not extend to any nearby homes and no firefighters were injured, according to Corbett. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but damages are estimated at about $7,500.

Ventura County Sheriff’s Office finds skimming device in Moorpark A skimming device, which is placed illegally on things like point-of-sale machines to steal data or money, was found at a 7-Eleven store in Moorpark last month, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said. The office’s Government Fraud Unit was alerted since one card skimmed was an electronic benefits card used for welfare benefits. Ventura County lost about $22,000 through welfare EBT skimming from May 1-3, the office said. The District Attorney’s Office compiled a list of things to look for to be aware of possible skimming devices: • Labels on a machine indicating a chip reader is broken • Chip reader function directs user to swipe card • Sides of a device shift, lift or appear bulky • Point-of-sale machine appears unnecessarily worn or doesn’t match other nearby machines The most secure point-of-sale transitions allow for chipped cards, tapped cards or app-based pay systems like Apple Pay or Google Pay, according to the District Attorney’s Office. - Kaitlyn Schallhorn

Cammack: Illegal immigrants getting baby formula while Americans left with empty shelves By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack and other Republican lawmakers are calling on the FDA and the Biden administration to take immediate action to solve a months-long baby formula shortage that’s left parents scrambling to find healthy food for their infant children. Rep. Cammack, R-Florida, called on Americans to “demand that the administration take action putting the baby formula back on the shelves for American kids,” prioritizing them over illegal immigrants. Rep. Cammack posted photos of stocked shelves of baby formula at a Customs and Border Protection detention facility in Texas alongside a photo of empty shelves in an American store. Describing them, she said, “The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula. The

second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce.” The Florida congresswoman was referring to the Central Processing Center in McAllen, Texas, which is the largest detention facility at the southern border where illegal immigrants are held during processing. By law, federal agents are required to provide food and water to illegal immigrants held in detention facilities. CBP officers are also required to determine admissibility of baby formula for personal and commercial use that is brought into the country. “We literally are struggling to find baby formula around the country,” Rep. Cammack said during a Facebook Live stream. “Moms are struggling, going from store to store to store and then the stores are actually capping the amount of baby formula that they will sell them but, and this got sent to me by a Border Patrol agent this morning, and said, ‘This is disgusting. You will not believe this. They’re receiving pallets, and

more pallets of baby formula at the border.’” She added, “He has been a border patrol agent for 30 years and he has never seen anything quite like this. He is a grandfather and he is saying that his own children can’t get baby formula.” In response, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a joint statement with National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd saying, “President Biden has turned a blind eye to parents across America who are facing the nightmare of a nationwide baby formula shortage. “While mothers and fathers stare at empty grocery store shelves in a panic, the Biden Administration is happy to provide baby formula to illegal immigrants coming across our southern border. As of April 24, 40% of the topselling baby formula products were out of stock nationwide, according to an analysis by Datasembly, which tracked Please see CAMMACK on A6

Continued from Page A4 the most recent information compiled by Datasembly, a real-time product pricing and data provider, and shared with the News-Press. Eight states and Washington, D.C., have out-ofstock rates higher than 50%. Tennessee, Delaware, Texas, Montana, Nevada and West Virginia top the list. Only three states (Indiana, New Mexico and Colorado) have rates lower than California. “We’re acutely aware that the ongoing recall has left many parents and caregivers concerned about access to formula and how they will feed their babies,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Friday. “Our team is committed to the health and safety of all Americans and is calling on states to act immediately to offer maximum flexibility, information and support to WIC participants.” President Joe Biden spoke with leaders of formula manufacturers Gerber and Reckitt as well as those at Target and Walmart about the shortage earlier this week. The president discussed increased production efforts and work to keep shelves stocked. While local health officials said the shortages have

not yet reached an exigency, shortages are still felt in the Santa Barbara area — particularly when it comes to specialty formulas, such as EleCare or Enfamil Nutramigen, which are designed for newborns with certain health or dietary needs. “At this time, it doesn’t seem like we’ve reached a crisis level,” Susan Liles, the WIC/Nutrition Services director for the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, told the News-Press earlier this week. “We’re monitoring and listening to the questions and complaints we’re getting … and whenever possible, by calling the stores ahead of time, we’re able to figure out where stores have their shipments and can direct the public to those stores.” Officials said parents should ensure they have an adequate supply of needed or prescribed formulas but avoid stockpiling. Former President Donald Trump called the shortage a “national disgrace” in a statement through his Save America PAC Friday. More from the White House on the formula shortage can be found at HHS.gov/formula.

Throughout his speech Friday, Scott Walker praised the YAF’s nonprofit, President Ronald Reagan, whose portrait hangs at The Reagan Ranch Center. He credited President Reagan with ending communism in certain parts of the world and utilizing certain strategies, like polling, to bring his message to voters.

His plan included getting YAF or YAF-affiliated groups to more campuses, reaching younger students or parents of elementary schools and doing “an even better job of articulating, communicating our conservative message.” “If we do those things, we win,” Mr. Walker said. Mr. Walker, 54, addressed supporters as part of the Wendy

P. McCaw Roundtable series. He took over as YAF’s president in February 2021. His message was about a “leap of faith” to start “taking back schools and cultures and communications.” “I think if we shut down our colleges, we’d do more to stop the spread of communism than we would the spread of COVID,” Mr. Walker said. Throughout his speech, the former Republican governor heaped praise on the namesake of YAF’s nonprofit, President

Ronald Reagan. He credited President Reagan with ending communism in certain parts of the world and utilizing certain strategies, like polling, to bring his message to voters. But he also decried President Bill Clinton, who served from 1993 to 2001, questioning his morals while also contending he wouldn’t be “radical” enough for the Democratic Party today. Mr. Walker served as Wisconsin’s governor from 2011 to 2019, surviving a recall election

following his support of legislation (which ultimately became law) curtailing collective-bargaining rights for most public sector workers.

Also on Tuesday, Mr. Califf issued a statement providing an update on the FDA’s failure to increase the availability of infant and specialty formula products. In February, it warned consumers not to use certain products from Abbott Nutrition’s Sturgis, Michigan, facility, which had issued a voluntary recall of certain products. Since then, increasing shortages, coupled with supply chain and other issues, have led to what is now a crisis for many. “We recognize that many consumers have been unable to access infant formula and critical medical foods they are accustomed to using and are

By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Border patrol agents are preparing for “a possible increase in migrant activity due to an increase in large group activity” as a result of Biden administration immigration policies, an internal Department of Homeland Security document released by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody says. It specifically cites suspending the Migrant Protection Protocols, otherwise known as the Remain in Mexico Policy, and terminating the public health authority, Title 42, as contributing to an influx of people coming to the U.S. southern border from Central and South America through Mexico. “This is a shocking discovery,” Ms. Moody said. “It contradicts what the Biden administration has been telling the American people and shows that the Mexican drug cartels are profiting off the mass migration of unvetted immigrants to fund an increase in violence at the border.” Attorneys general from multiple states have sued the administration over terminating both policies, including Texas AG Ken Paxton and Missouri AG Eric Schmitt, who recently argued before the Supreme Court asking it to require the administration to follow the law and reinstate the MPP. “We are in the midst of a national opioid crisis and the deadliest drugs are being smuggled into our country from Mexico,” Ms. Moody said in a statement. “President Biden knows this, yet he continues to double down on his terrible immigration policies knowing full well these policies are emboldening and enriching the very drug cartels who are profiting off the deaths of thousands of Americans.” Entitled “U.S. Customs and Border Protection Overview of the Southwest Border,” the 8-page redacted document describes the role of Mexican cartels and transnational, organized-criminal networks in smuggling people to the U.S.

It states, “…we assess that smuggling networks are very active in promoting the flow of migrants through Mexico as drug trafficking organizations maintain control of the primary trafficking corridors into the United States. The drug trafficking organizations’ control of these corridors allows them to regulate the flow of migrants as well as charge migrants a ‘tax’ … for the right to pass through the corridors. “Transnational criminal organizations will exploit migration flows and entrench themselves in the smuggling cycle. TCOs endanger vulnerable individuals, amass illicit profits that feed cartel violence in Mexico and along the border, and create a volatile border environment.” The document also “proves that the Biden administration knows that its disastrous border policies are responsible for the influx of illegal migrants,” Ms. Moody says. She points to a section that states that “irregular migration,” which is new terminology DHS is using to refer to illegal immigration, “will likely increase in fiscal year 2021 as economic opportunities emerge and migrant perceptions of U.S. immigration policies shift.” U.S. Customs and Border Protection and DHS officials are preparing for an influx of people, having “initiated contingency planning in anticipation of a potential surge of illegal migration,” the document states, with preparation to move them into the U.S. It points to Biden administration policies, including, “the pause in the use of removal pathways such as the Migrant Protection Protocols, Asylum Cooperation Agreements, and Prompt Asylum Claim Review,” as factors contributing to increased migration, which have restricted CBP and Border Patrol agents’ ability over the last year to process and remove those in the U.S. illegally. Total CBP encounters with illegal immigrants at the southwest border totaled nearly 2.5 million since February 2021, Ms. Moody notes, with deportations having fallen by 70% last year.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN (The Center Square) – In an effort to make homeownership a possibility for more California residents amid rising prices, a new proposal by a leading Senate legislator would spend $10 billion over the next decade to help families purchase homes. Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, unveiled a new proposal Wednesday that would provide 17% toward the purchase price of a home for first-time homebuyers – a move that officials say could cover the downpayment and potentially lower mortgage payments by one-third. The program – dubbed the “California Dream for All” program – is limited to homebuyers making up to 150% of their area income. Sen. Atkins is proposing $1 billion per year starting in the 2022-2023 fiscal year for the program, with continued allocations of $1 billion for 10 years. The funds would establish a “revolving shared appreciation first time homebuyer program,” according to a budget committee report. The statewide median home price in California was $771,270 in February of this year, according to the California Association of Realtors. Homeownership is at its lowest level since 1940 in California, according to a budget committee report, as rising prices make purchasing a home out of reach for many residents. “Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve that dream and invest in their families’ futures,” Sen. Atkins said in a statement. Lawmakers estimate the proposed funding would support more than 8,000 first time homebuyers per year, which a budget report says is “enough to benefit a significant number of homebuyers, but not so much that it would skew home prices further up.” Officials highlighted the “recyclability” of the program during a budget hearing Wednesday, explaining to lawmakers that when a homebuyer sells, transfers or refinances the home, the state would be reimbursed for the 17% share of the increase in home value, which would be recycled to aid new first time homebuyers. Proponents of the program estimate it will assist 157,200 families over 40 years, resulting in 32,000 more than a 3% simple interest program. It’s also estimated to generate borrower wealth of $133.8 billion, an estimated $13.2 billion more than a 3% simple interest program. Reports of the proposal quickly drew skepticism from critics who questioned the impact this proposal would have on already-high home prices in the Golden State. Others noted that California is facing a shortage of affordable housing. “The situation CA faces is very simple. Too much money and too many people chasing too few homes,” Alex Tabarrok, professor of economics at George Mason University and former California resident, told The Center Square in an email. “The solution is also very simple. Build more homes.”

We are doing everything in our power to ensure there is adequate product available where and when they need it,” Mr. Califf said. “Ensuring the availability of safe, solesource nutrition products like infant formula is of the utmost importance to the FDA. Our teams have been working tirelessly to address and alleviate supply issues and will continue doing everything within our authority to ensure the production of safe infant formula products.” Rep.

Stefanik said. “Instead, bare shelves Biden has continued to pass the buck. … This is not a Third World country. This should never happen in the United States of America. We’re unified in demanding action to address this crisis.” More than 100 House Republicans wrote a letter to Biden Wednesday demanding that he address the shortage “with the appropriate urgency it deserves.” Karine Jean-Pierre, White House principal deputy press secretary, addressed the issue during a press briefing on Wednesday. She told reporters, “Ensuring that infant formula is safe and available for families across the country is a top priority to the White House and this administration. This is an urgent issue that the FDA, as you all know, and the White House is working 24/7 to address.”

Sea shanties for a cause Physician and TV producer records ‘By the Risin’ of the Sea’ to address environmental issues By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Dr. James Kahn was there when the alien from “E.T.: The Extraterrestrial” needed him. The real-life emergency room physician played a doctor in the movie as he and his colleagues wore haz-mat suits and, under instructions from director Steven Spielberg, ad-libbed realistic dialogue as they worked frantically to save the alien’s life. Dr. Kahn, 74, was also there when the crew of the USS Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant. As a producer and writer on “Star Trek: Voyager,” he was among the creative forces helping to guide Capt. Janeway and her fearless crew. Today, Dr. Kahn is there for the ocean. The Emmy-nominated TV writer and producer, who lives in Santa Barbara, is addressing environmental issues, but not with a TV script. Instead, he’s written and sung sea shanties. He’s recorded them on his album “By the Risin’ of the Sea,” which was released in early April and is available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon and Chaucer’s Books on upper State Street in Santa Barbara. Dr. Kahn said climate change is the biggest existential crisis facing humanity and noted it is resulting in drought, fires, floods, species die-offs, crop failures and rising seas. “Maybe we can mitigate some of the ruin,” he said. “ ‘The Risin’ of the Sea’ is the core song on the album and lays the problem out in a plaintive, melancholy shanty that comes from — and speaks to — the heart.” The song comes complete with a hallmark of sea shanties — an accordion accompaniment. This one is by Brian Mann. “I’ve been a huge fan of sea shanties for a long time,” Dr. Kahn told the News-Press this week. In fact, sea shanties became a tradition in his house, and his wife had something to do with that. “My wife, Jill (Littlewood), never wanted to get a dishwasher. She wanted our kids to wash our dishes,” Dr. Kahn said. (They have two sons and a daughter.) So as the family washed dishes together, they sang sea shanties.

Seemed like the thing to do. A video of the album’s first song, “Risin’ by the Sea,” was filmed at Goleta Beach, with a four-part a capella harmony. “I interspersed that with a montage of icebergs, storms rising in the sea. It’s four minutes, the length of the song. Dr. Kahn wrote about saving whales with his song, “No More a ‘Whalin.’” “It’s a sad ode to the fate of the whales and how we’ve treated them over the centuries,” Dr. Kahn said. “Why are we killing them when we no longer need them for food and oil? There’s a music video about that one as well. “One dark, funny song is a rousing, drunken sea shanty about COVID-19 and how it decimated us over the course of 2020,” he said, referring to “In the Covid Times.” “There’s a range of songs that cover contemporary dilemmas.” The song “Cast of the Water,” David West, the album’s producer, played the hammer dulcimer. “ ‘Cast on the Water’ is actually the song that is the least shanty-like. It’s a beautiful seafaring fantasy song,” Dr. Kahn said. And the album’s closing song, “Sundown,” is a five-part a cappella song warning about the danger of gradual increases in the world’s temperatures. Dr. Kahn said as the earth becomes warmer, species such as bees could become at risk. “I’m a big supporter of the environmental movement, and I get involved with debates with people, debating with people who still don’t believe in climate change,” Dr. Kahn said. “Rather than resorting to the same political arguments to people whose minds are not going to change, I can possibly appeal to them in an emotional way. “Music in particular strikes a deep personal chord, more than logical reasoning might.” email: dmason@newspress.com

FYI “Risin’ of the Sea,” the album recorded by Dr. James Kahn of Santa Barbara, is available at Spotify, iTunes and Amazon and Chaucer’s Books, 3321 State St., Santa Barbara. The album cost $10. (You also can download the individuals songs for 99 cents each.)

United Way Young Leaders Society helps fund books for four schools By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Young Leaders Society raised more than $3,000 and provided more than 90 books to four local schools.

United Way of Santa Barbara County’s Young Leaders Society partnered with four local schools to raise more than $3,000 to provide more than 90 books to their libraries for the month of March. The event raised funds to fulfill a curated wish list of books from schools. Participating schools included Franklin Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School, Canalino Elementary School and La Colina Junior High School. The purchased books replaced books that were never returned to the libraries due to school closures during the COVID pandemic and helped to build the schools’ growing collections of Spanish books.

“The Young Leaders Society annual book drive is one of our favorite events of the year,” said Victoria Dominguez, supervisor of corporate development at United Way. “We are grateful for our partnerships with these schools and are honored to be able to provide them with these new additions to their libraries.” The Young Leaders Society was formed 13 years ago as part of United Way’s effort to encourage young professionals living in Santa Barbara County to become involved in their local community and begin building the leadership and business skills that they need to be successful in their careers.

Righetti Film Festival showcases high school students’ work TESTIMONIAL

“I have hired Dynamic Green three times and each clean was extremely professional. I have now scheduled them to come regularly. Super satisﬁed!” – Kate Riesen

SANTA MARIA — Movies that tell stories through the eyes of Righetti High School student filmmakers are being showcased during the 23rd annual Righetti Film Festival ending tonight. The celebration of cinematic achievement happens between 7 and 9:30 p.m. inside the gym, 941 Foster Road, Santa Maria. It will feature about a dozen films, two-to-eight minutes long, which involve comedy, drama, horror, sci-fi and documentaries. National and international film festivals have already selected some of the films. “I’m super excited to show our community the wonderful work made by my students,’’ said Jacob Gustafson, Warrior teacher. “I’m very proud of how strong the work is, and this is due to the hard work the students put into them. This year’s films are the best yet, since I took over for Robert Garcia.’’ The 9th through 12th grade students are in classes such as Intro to Video, AHC Film 110 and Advanced Video. Admission is free, and concessions will be for sale (cash only). — Marilyn McMahon

Thought for Today

By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency

Saturday, May 14, 2022

“Simple Saturday” columns focus on basic technique and logical thinking. Learning players are exposed to “rules” that are more or less sensible. Years ago, one authority told his students that they should never lead from a king. I think he ought to be spending eternity holding hands with all four kings — obliged to lead from one of them. In today’s deal, South arrived at four hearts after bidding spades, then hearts. West led the ace of diamonds, and since he knew the injunction about leading from kings, he shifted to a spade.

spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two hearts. Partner then bids three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner knows you have a weak hand and lack true heart support since you didn’t raise directly. Still, he is trying for game. Consider how much worse your hand might be! You have honors in his long suits, and a side ace. To bid four hearts is clear. North dealer N-S vulnerable NORTH { A J x A 7 5 z K J 6 2 y Q J 9 4

MAKING FOUR Declarer won, took the K-A of trumps and threw a club on the king of diamonds. He lost a club and a trump to East, making four. In this deal, West must lead a club at Trick Two. South’s bidding promised at least 10 major-suit cards. If South’s clubs are A-x, West loses nothing since South would discard his low club on dummy’s king of diamonds anyway. But if East has the ace, West must hasten to cash the defenders’ club tricks. DAILY QUESTION You hold: { 7 6 4 3 x J 2 z A 9 8 5 y K 6 3. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

DAILY BRIDGE

crisis, isn’t it, Libra? Expect one in your personal life today. Since you aren’t one to let issues go unresolved, you won’t be able to put off dealing with your problems any longer. Questions abound. Are work and responsibilities shared equally with your partner? Are you both making an equal effort to maintain relationship harmony? Asking the questions is the first step to answering them. Scorpio: Something has to change, Scorpio. You knew it as soon as you woke up this morning. Your mirror provides the impetus for some important resolutions. Is it time to begin a diet, make a commitment to exercise more, or strengthen your resolve to quit smoking? Anything you do to improve your health will make you feel better about yourself. Sagittarius: The only good thing about being on an emotional roller coaster is that you never feel the same way for long, Sagittarius. One moment you’re up, the next you’re down. You can’t figure out what it is you want today. Rather than bring your loved ones along on this wild ride, why not take some time away from your usual environment? Capricorn: You might want to check your alarm clock to be sure it really woke you up this morning, Capricorn. Your tendency will be to stay in the cocoon of your own little dream world, deep in your own thoughts. Obsessive thoughts, in particular, will try and drown out some more pressing issues from the past that really need to be dealt with once and for all. Aquarius: There is something in the air today pushing you toward change or renewal, Aquarius. Is it time to change your wardrobe or redecorate your home? If so, this is the day. If you have monetary restrictions, you’ll find it just as fulfilling (and a whole lot cheaper) to simply rid your home of all the things that just aren’t “you” anymore. Pisces: The good news is it can only get better. For today, however, there may be some trying times in store, Pisces. If you’re a parent, the children will beg for something every five minutes. At work, you’ll feel pressure from all sides. Not even your love life is immune from the doubt that seems to hover over you.

By Horoscope.com Saturday, May 14, 2022 Aries: Today is the day to rethink all those social values that you take at face value, Aries. Like the rest of us, you learned them at a young age and unthinkingly accepted them. Established concepts of propriety are especially deserving of consideration. Taurus: Today is an ideal day to shop for a new wardrobe, Taurus. You may find your usual style either too conventional or uncomfortably trendy. Often when you’re out shopping, you’ll reject an item you really like for fear that it’s too suggestive or old fashioned. Perhaps you should listen to your own judgment for a change. Gemini: The topic of the day is knowledge and learning, Gemini. Did you study the field you dreamed of? Do you feel ashamed of not having attended such-andsuch a school or program? If those sorts of issues are uppermost on your mind, remember that your creativity has little to do with the degrees you hold and everything to do with how you use your skills and knowledge to better the world. Cancer: An important aspect has passed, and you are in the process of reaping the benefit from it, Cancer. It was only a matter of becoming aware of and settling certain matters related to your need for social recognition. Don’t be so hungry for approval, Cancer. Most people contain a stern inner authority figure and can survive comfortably and selfsufficiently. Leo: You may feel hemmed in by the role models that society currently offers, Leo. As you struggle to find your own definition of the truly modern human being, the people around you sometimes criticize your liberated attitude. Just because their ideas aren’t in sync with yours in no way invalidates them. Virgo: Today’s aspects are suggesting that you take a good hard look at the state of your ego, Virgo. Are you too proud or too humble? Buddhists say that the path to spiritual fulfillment lies in knowing how to build a healthy ego while at the same time developing a part of oneself completely foreign to the ego. Are you working hard at this? Libra: A small crisis is still a

COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA BOARD OF SUPERVISORS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Tuesday, May 24, 2022 In Santa Barbara The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday May 24, 2022, the Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing to consider Case No. 22APL-00000-00004, an appeal of the County Planning Commission’s February 2, 2022, approval of the 4701 Foothill Road Development Plan and Coastal Development Permit (Case Nos. 19DVP-00000-00016 and 19CDP-00000-00017). The appeal was filed by Carla Singer. The Proposed Project includes a request for a Development Plan for proposed structural changes to onsite development, and a Coastal Development Permit for structural changes as well as the proposed cannabis cultivation use. The complete project description is below. The project descriptions for each entitlement are included in the Conditions of Approval. The Proposed Project is a request to allow propagation of immature plants (nursery) and mixedlight cultivation of cannabis in 468,000 sq. ft. (10.74 acres) of space within a permitted 492,251-sq.-ft. (11.30-acre) greenhouse that has historically been used for growing cut flowers. Cultivation will utilize timed-drip irrigation and recycled water in an elevated pot system. No drying, trimming, curing, or processing of harvested cannabis will occur onsite. Harvested cannabis will be transported offsite by a licensed third party distributor and will be processed at an offsite location. The Proposed Project site (containing cannabis activities) is located on APN 004-003-008 located at 4701 Foothill Road in the Carpinteria Area, within the Carpinteria Agricultural Overlay District, First Supervisorial District; however, the Proposed Project includes the voluntary merger with an adjacent parcel containing no existing or proposed cannabis activities, APN 004-005-002, at 1495 Sterling Avenue. Prior to issuance of the Coastal Development Permit, these two parcels will be voluntarily merged in order for the Proposed Project to comply with lot coverage requirements of the AG-I Zone.
