\u2022 Last week, we said Justice Delayed is Justice Denied<\/a>. Because of budget cuts, the Alameda County Public Defender said they can’t take more cases<\/a>. This is very, very dangerous stuff.<\/p>\n \u2022 You’ll be happy to know that Arnold is planning on an ambitious 2010<\/a>. And what bold techniques, what out-of-the-box initiatives, what amazing knock-yer-socks-off ideas, will Governor Hoover come up with to round out his career? “Details haven’t been firmed up, but a ‘large brainstorming’ session is imminent, says Matt David, the governor’s communications director.” In other words, get back to us once we figure out what the Governor believes.<\/p>\n \u2022 We’re #4! Yay! There are three states with a worse percentage of insured residents<\/a>: Florida, Louisiana, and Texas in dead last. Well, at least we kicked the “up and coming” Texans’ ass<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 The California Citizen’s Redistricting Commission has posted its initial reports<\/a>, including the proposed regulations for participants and a tentative calendar for implementation. From what I’ve read about this thing, given the vetoes that individual citizens can have over the process it’s not a bad bet that judges will end up drawing all the districts anyway, which will be hilarious.<\/p>\n \u2022 The next round of cuts will be municipalities after the state stole their money. San Jose will have to cut almost $100 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Will your kid get to keep their Healthy Families insurance? Better pray on it<\/a>. Coming just a few months after President Obama signed an expansion of Healthy Families, this is very troubling.<\/p>\n \u2022 Seems like the CDP is finally paying attention to organizing a grassroots base–campaign training events are being held throughout the state, beginning the weekend of the 22nd in Ventura.
