You are here: Press Room Op-Eds San Francisco Business Times, October 22, 2004 Taxing S.F. mayor could learn from California governor by Anthony P. Archie Gov. Schwarzenegger has spent the last year attempting to transform California from an economic pariah to a pro-business competitor. To jump-start economic activity, he has set out to unburden businesses from heavy taxes and regulations. The governor has made it clear that the state's No. 1 goal is to become more business friendly. Major cities, however, have yet to get the message. Consider, for example, San Francisco. In his first year in office, Mayor Gavin Newsom had to tackle a $300 million budget shortfall with an economy that has remained stagnant at best. Although he was forced to make necessary cuts and to re-negotiate labor contracts, Newsom chose to go after businesses to fill in the city's fiscal gap. He did so, in Schwarzenegger-like fashion, by taking it to the people in the form of propositions, the most notable of which is Proposition K on the Nov. 2 ballot. Proposition K would impose a 0.1 percent tax on businesses that take in more than $500,000 a year in gross receipts, a rather inclusive figure. This new tax would be in addition to San Francisco's hefty 1.5 percent payroll tax, one of the highest in the nation. If passed, $17 million is expected for the current fiscal year with $30 million generated annually for the next four years.

Search the Archive: December 15, 2004 Back to the Table of Contents Page Back to The Almanac Home Page Classifieds Publication Date: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 EDITORIAL: Time to address the pension problem How long will it be before the California Legislature or the state's cities and fire districts drum up the courage to demand a rewrite of the gold-plated pension plan that permits public-safety employees to retire at 90 percent of their highest pay after 30 years service? Some relief may come during the next legislative session, as noted in last week's cover story, an update on the pension problem. But the legislation promised by Assemblyman Keith Richman, a Granada Hills Republican, isn't likely to get much of a hearing unless local governments speak up. Mr. Richman says his bill, which would require a constitutional amendment, would set up a 401(k)-type system for all state retirement programs. That would be substantially different from the "defined benefit" system in use today. Under that system's "3 percent at 50" plan, a hypothetical Menlo Park firefighter with 30 years service can retire at age 50 and receive a pension of $86,281 a year until death. Other municipal employees are now eligible to receive 3 percent at 60, or 90 percent of their highest pay at age 60 if they retire, although few if any cities in San Mateo County have adopted this plan. These generous pensions, which far exceed the norm in private industry, have made retired California public employees some of the highest paid in the nation. A study of non-safety (miscellaneous) employee pensions by the state Legislative Analyst's Office compared benefits of California, Texas, Florida, Illinois and Oregon state employees. It shows that California state employees enjoy the highest average annual benefit at each age threshold studied. For example, at age 65, the average state employee in California retires at $46,500; Texas followed at $40,775; Oregon, $29,606; Illinois, $28,913; and Florida, $28,410.

Registration Form Conference Theme: The state’s dominant infrastructure was created in the 1950s and 1960s — energy, transportation, medical services, harbors and ports, schools and universities, flood control and water systems all received significant investment in the post-war period, and very little since. The challenges facing the state are increasingly complex, overwhelming our infrastructure at every level. This year’s Envisioning California Conference examines the state of the state’s infrastructure — including its physical, political, social, economic and environmental systems — in an effort to align the state’s existing and emerging needs with the state’s capacity to meet those needs. As always, the conference will bring together diverse experts from throughout the state to engage in an informed discussion leading to concrete recommendations. Speakers: Keynote speakers include the Honorable Fabian Núñez , Speaker of the California State Assembly, Patt Morrison, author and columnist with the Los Angeles Times, and former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Michael Dukakis.

The Multicultural Society The Faculty Career Potential Why Learn About Asia? We live in a continually shrinking world, yet international cooperative ventures in science, technology, government, and the humanities will continue to increase in the coming decades and provide greatly expanded opportunities for students with specializations in Asian Studies. Increasingly, national and regional attention is focused on economic, political, and strategic relations with the Pacific Rim and Indian Ocean. Long Beach, California's fifth largest city and the largest port in the Western United States, is already a major link with Asia. The World Trade Center in downtown Long Beach helps to consolidate and expand these linkages. CSULB's Department of Asian and Asian American Studies provides a flexible framework for students to explore Asian societies from and interdisciplinary perspective. [Back to top] The Multicultural Society We also live in an increasingly ethnically diverse society. Cross-cultural understanding and communication are necessary in California's and the nation's multicultural society, and the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies has a fundamental commitment to exploring the subject of the Asian experience in America, both in the international context as well as a distinct ethnic strand in American society.

California's State Flag Historic Bear Flag raised at Sonoma on June 14, 1846, by a group of American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule. The flag was designed by William Todd on a piece of new unbleached cotton. The star imitated the lone star of Texas. A grizzly bear represented the many bears seen in the state. The word, "California Republic" was placed beneath the star and bear. It was adopted by the 1911 State Legislature as the State Flag.
