Hannah-Beth Jackson has raised $309,000 in her bid for theCalifornia state senate.Trailing her is Jason Hodge, an Oxnard Harbor

Commissioner, who has raised $189,000.Jackson and Hodge, both Democrats, are battling for the

19th District State Senate Seat.Jackson is a former two-term 35th District

Assemblywoman. Hodge also works as a full-time firefighter.The numbers illustrate a major difference in where the two

candidates are getting their money.More than 75 percent of Jackson’s money came from Santa

Barbara and Ventura counties. Hodge raised less than 10 per-cent of his money in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.More than half of his money come from political action com-mittees.Hodge also received a majority of his money from outside

of the state senate district, primarily the Bay Area.Hodge received $2,000 from Yahoo!, $1,500 from EBay;

$1,000 from Visa, $1,500 from PG&E Corporation. Businessgroups also heavily back the firefighter. Sacramento’sCalifornia Beer & Beverage Distribution PAC gave him$1,000; Anheuser-Busch gave him $1,900.Hodge also raised money from unions, including $1,000

from the District Council of Plasterers and Cement Masons;$3,900 from the Kern County Firefighters Union Inc., Local1301; $7,800 from the California Professional FirefightersAssociation; $1,000 from the San Francisco Firefighters PAC;and $3,200 from his wife, Assemblywoman Fiona Ma.Hodge said it means nothing that Jackson has raised more

money than him. It doesn’t matter either, he said, that she hasraised more in the district.“I really don’t think fundraising matters because everyone

has made up their mind and what they are saying is that wereally want to see someone different who represents workingclass values,” said Hodge, pointing to a recent poll that hespent $24,000, which showed that he would top Jackson in theprimary.The battle between Hannah-Beth Jackson and Jason Hodge

for a state Senate seat has exploded with political drama.Jackson, who spent six years in the California Assembly, is

looking to return to the legislature in the newly drawn 19thstate Senate District, after a close but bruising loss to TonyStrickland four years ago.Hodge has served for one year on the Oxnard Harbor

Commission – an elected position. He’s also a full-time fire-fighter.The two are locked in an intense battle for Democratic

supremacy, with factions already lining up to support either

“I have spent eight years workinghard in this area for working classpeople and I am not part of theestablishment, so how can youexpect any different of a result?”

– Jason Hodge, 19th District Candidate

Jackson leads Hodge $309,000 to $189,000. But will it matter in the primary?

Four days after the Santa Barbara CityAttorney denied his attempt to attend a meetingremotely from Atlanta, longtime civic activistDavid Pritchett resigned from theTransportation and Circulation Committee.Pritchett moved to Atlanta in 2011 after

accepting a government job there. He remainedon the Committee, apparently missing meet-ings, but attending in person when he was inSanta Barbara.

Even though he was in Atlanta, Pritchettwanted to attend the Jan. 26 meeting. City staffattempted to accommodate him, and even putout an agenda for the meeting with him listed asattending from Atlanta.But when City Attorney Stephen Wiley

found out, he nixed it, said Rob Daytion, asupervising transportation planner in the PublicWorks Department.“It would be kind of awkward to have a pub-

lic meeting from a hotel room,” said Dayton,pointing out that while members of the commit-tee are allowed to attend remotely, their locationmust be considered part of a public meeting.Pritchett declined to talk about why he want-

ed to attend the meeting from Atlanta, but didforward an email exchange he had with MayorHelene Schneider. In the letter he said he wasresigning.He cited the appointment of City Council

member Cathy Murillo – his wife – as liaison tothe committee.“Obviously serving as a member of TCC

while my spouse also is the CityCouncilmember Liaison to the same Committeepresents an appearance of awkwardness if noteven silliness for me to sit on the same adviso-ry group, when I already enjoy free and opencommunication with the same

Councilmember,” Pritchett wrote.Though some questions had been raised

about Murillo’s taking the position while know-ing her husband served on the committee,Murillo said Pritchett had discussed resignationwhen she took her seat.“We had already talked about it and then the

TCC appointment came up,” Murillo said.Murillo said her position on the city council

would have necessitated his bowing out regard-less of what committee appointments she held.At some point the council would have to con-sider recommendations by the committee andhaving Pritchett on the committee could haveserved as a distraction.“We want the issues at the forefront, not our

marriage,” said Murillo, adding that Pritchettwanted to attend the meeting from a “temporaryresidence” not a hotel room.Pritchett has been a prominent environmental

activist for decades, serving as a founding mem-ber of the Creeks Committee, and sitting on theVector Control Board. He was also a candidatefor City Council. Brash and outspoken, Pritchetthas rubbed some the wrong way, but his workhas brought about improvements for local envi-ronmental causes such as saving the SteelheadTrout.But since taking a consulting job as a wet-

lands specialist in Georgia, Pritchett has dividedhis time between Santa Barbara and Atlanta. Murillo said the reason Pritchett wanted to

attend the Jan. 26 meeting was because he want-ed to hear a report on the safety conditions ofMilpas Street.Dayton said staff had been prepared to bring

in Pritchett from his hotel room in Atlanta. Citystaff have made similar accommodations forformer city council member Dan Secord afterleg injuries left him unable to attend meetings inperson.Dayton said staff opted to oblige him and put

a notice on the agenda, until Wiley intervened.An advocate to the end, Pritchett urged that

his replacement be a bus rider from the YouthCouncil or similar supporter of the CirculationElement. And in a nod to what would have beenhis final committee meeting, he hoped to seepedestrian safety improvements to the MilpasCorridor in coming months.“I will be watching, and by summer I look

forward to pushing the buttons to activate someRectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons!” Pritchettwrote.

Activist Pritchett resignsfrom city committee

House votes to extend federal pay freezes

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER

“We had already talkedabout (Pritchett resigning)and then the TCCappointment came up.” – Kathy Murillo, City Council member and spouse of David Pritchett

The House of Representatives, seeking to cutthe U.S. deficit and burnish its own tarnishedimage, passed a bill on Wednesday to extend apair of pay freezes for federal workers, includingone for lawmakers.The 309-117 vote seemed largely symbolic,

however, since the Senate is expected to rejectthe election-year measure.Democrats said they agree that lawmakers

should not get a pay hike while Americans strug-gle with a weak economy. But many argued that

workers in federal agencies deserve one.Obama has proposed a modest 0.5 percent

cost-of-living increase for federal workers.But House Republicans, who have made cut-

ting the budget deficit their top priority, voted toextend the pay freeze for these workers to the endof 2013.With Congress's approval rating at rock bot-

tom, the bill would also prevent a pay hike forlawmakers, whose salaries have stood at$174,000 since January 2009.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Indiana became the 23rd state to pass anti-union "right-to-work" legislation on Wednesday and the first in the nation'smanufacturing heartland, dealing a blow to organized labor byallowing workers to opt out of paying union dues.Indiana's Republican governor Mitch Daniels signed the leg-

islation into law immediately after it was given final approval inthe state Senate, making Indiana the first state to adopt such ameasure since Oklahoma did so a decade ago.Daniels, governor since 2005 and a prominent spokesman for

Republicans nationally, said he decided Indiana needed the con-troversial new law after several businesses relocated elsewhere."Seven years of evidence and experience ultimately demon-

strated that Indiana did need a right-to-work law to capture jobsfor which, despite our highly rated business climate, we are notcurrently being considered," he said in a statement after signingthe bill.

Don Cornelius, creator of the iconic TV music and danceshow "Soul Train" that helped introduce Americans to blackpop culture, died on Wednesday after shooting himself in thehead, Los Angeles officials said.Police found the body of Cornelius, 75, at his house in the

wealthy, hillside area of Los Angeles called Sherman Oaks ataround 4 a.m on Wednesday. He was later pronounced dead at alocal hospital."The death was reported as a suicide, a self-inflicted gunshot

wound to the head," Los Angeles coroner's Assistant Chief EdWinter said. Police said there was no evidence of foul play.It was not immediately known why Cornelius would have

taken his own life, although he was said to have been in failinghealth in recent years.

A U.S. missionary couple was killed in Mexico's industrialcapital city of Monterrey, local and U.S. officials said onWednesday, in what a personal website called a home invasion.The bodies of Wanda Sue Casias, 67, from Texas and John

Casias, 76, originally from Colorado, were discovered in theirhome by their son on Tuesday evening, who noticed their car andsome electronics were missing.The cause of death and exact circumstances of the attack were

not yet known, a local law enforcement official said."There were no signs of gunshot or knife wounds," the official

said. "The investigation is ongoing."A website that promotes the couple's Christian missionary

work said the pair were killed during a "home invasion" andthanked supporters of "the ministry they started 29 years ago."

I've long been interested in the topic of howchildren resolve disputes, a fascination that datesback at least to an incident in third grade whenRandy McMillan and I had a disagreement overwhich of us should get to play pitcher in a game ofkickball at recess. After a brief discussion of thesalient points, Randy and I eventually arrived at acompromise, agreeing that because he was biggerand stronger, he should probably pitch, andbecause I was smaller and weaker, I should proba-bly shut up if I wanted to keep all my teeth.Handing over my lunch money might also bewise, he helpfully added.Today, as a parent, I like to watch my kids to

see if they have any better luck than I did in navi-gating the disagreements, disputes and contention thatinevitably crop up with classmates. Thankfully, my kids'school focuses on teaching effective mediation techniques, sothe disputes that in my day would have concluded with some-one's head being dunked in a toilet are usually resolvedthrough dialogue, peer consultation and, when all else fails,rock-paper-scissors.Which is not to say that my kids' schoolyard is a conflict-

free paradise. My five-year-old son recently told me about aproblem he had with "Joey," a kindergarten classmate whosometimes has difficulty following rules to certain games.After one such incident, when Joey refused to play fairlydespite repeated requests, my son reportedly said to him,"You just lost a friend."Pretty devastating stuff, I know. Frankly, I wondered

where my son had even heard such melodramatic language. Itsounds like the kind of sentiment a child might pick up fromwatching reality television. Except that my wife and I haveadamantly refused to allow our kids to watch any reality TV.I mean, besides the Real Housewives series. We're not mon-sters, after all.Later on my wife explained to me that our son's teacher

had just read the class a book called "How to Lose All YourFriends," which offers a series of tongue-in-cheek examplesof anti-social behaviors (not sharing, bullying, cutting in line,etc.) that thoughtful, considerate children should avoid. So itturns out that I was mistaken in assuming his class was audi-tioning for Nickelodeon's newest series, "Keeping Up Withthe Kindergartners." But provenance issues aside, his use of this expression

reminded me of something kids used to say to one anotherfrequently during my childhood. Specifically, when asking

for a favor, a child would sweeten the deal by adding,"I'll be your best friend." Remember that one? I recallthis pledge being invoked countless times during myschool days in an effort to persuade classmates toshare food, give up a coveted swing, withhold evi-dence of wrongdoing from the authorities, etc.Looking back, I wonder that anyone ever actually

fell for this transparent ploy. A few questions I wish Ihad asked when this offer was made to me:- What kind of megalomaniac are you to think that

your friendship is such a great treasure?- Who said I even wanted to be your friend at all,

not to mention your "best" friend?- You know I already have a best friend, right? So

I'm supposed to throw him over just for the privilegeof giving you half of my Dunkaroos?- Does your current best friend know you go around mak-

ing these offers?Of course, "I'll be your best friend" is just one example of

the kind of nonsense that children regularly spout. Or at leastwe did when I was a kid. When insulted, my classmates and Iwould often come back with weak rejoinders like, "Sticksand stones may break my bones, but words will never hurtme." This was an especially dangerous tactic in my crowd,when a typical response might be, "Great idea! Hang on asecond while I go get some sticks and stones."And as a kid, you couldn't just make a promise. No, you

also had to "cross your heart" and expressly wish for yourown death while pledging to posthumously suffer eye impale-ment with a needle if you went back on your word.Not to mention the inexplicable power of the "dare" to

control other kids' behavior:"Well, normally I wouldn't do something as idiotic as

release a live possum in the teachers' lounge just because youasked me to. But now that you've double dared me, well,what choice do I have?"And we won't even get into the whole "He who smelt it

dealt it" fallacy.As to my son, so far I'm pleased with his conflict manage-

ment skills. I certainly think it's a good sign that he's takinghis cues from books rather than TV, but I'm keeping a closewatch. Because while things with Joey seem to have settleddown, I have a few concerns about that new girl in his class,Snooki.

Casa Blancawelcomesnew chefOnofreZuniga

Facebook unveiled plans for the biggest ever Internet IPO thatcould raise as much as $10 billion, but made it clear CEO MarkZuckerberg will exercise almost complete control over the com-pany, leaving investors with little say.The Harvard dropout, who launched the social networking

phenomenon from his dorm room, will control 56.9 percent ofthe voting shares in a company expected to be valued at up to$100 billion when it goes public. Facebook says it has 845 mil-lion active monthly users.

Wednesday's long-awaited filing kicks off a process that willculminate in Silicon Valley's biggest coming-out party since theheyday of the dotcom boom and bust.In its filing Facebook says it is seeking to raise $5 billion, but

that is a figure used to calculate registration fees among othersand analysts estimate it could tap investors for $10 billion.That would value the company at $100 billion, dwarfing sto-

ried tech giants such as Hewlett Packard Co, while validating theexplosive growth worldwide of social media as communicationand entertainment.Zuckerberg's economic control of about 28 percent of the

shares would be worth $28 billion at a $100 billion valuation,ranking him as the fourth-richest American.

The 27-year-old's ownership position means Facebook, acompany dissected in 2010's Oscar-winning "The SocialNetwork", will not need to appoint a majority of independentdirectors or set up board committees to oversee compensationand other matters.The company's ownership structure and bylaws go against

shareholder-friendly corporate governance practices put in placein the United States after years of investor activism.As Facebook states in its prospectus, Zuckerberg will "control

all matters submitted to stockholders for vote, as well as theoverall management and direction of our company."Zuckerberg struck deals with several Facebook investors that

granted him voting rights over their shares in all or most situa-tions. Those included Yuri Milner's DST Global, venture capitalfirm The Founders Fund, and entities affiliated with TechnologyCrossover Ventures, the IPO filing shows.Google Inc's Sergey Brin and Larry Page retained control of

the search giant through similar arrangements and theSulzbergers did much the same at the New York Times."Zuckerberg, at the time, probably had his choice of

investors," said Steven Kaplan, a professor at University ofChicago's Booth School of Business, who researches venturecapital and corporate governance. "He basically had the ability tosay 'my way or the highway.'""The downside of doing this is that the value of Facebook may

be slightly lower than it would be if he were not retaining con-trol."Facebook could make its market debut in the middle of the

year based on the usual timetable of IPOs.Its IPO prospectus shows that Facebook generated $3.71 bil-

lion in revenue and made $1 billion in net profit last year, up 65percent from the $606 million it made in 2010.

"We often talk about inventions like the printing press and thetelevision," Zuckerberg said in a letter accompanying the docu-ments. "Today, our society has reached another tipping point.""The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be

built is unprecedented."Facebook appointed Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and

JPMorgan as its lead underwriters. Other bookrunners includeBank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital and Allen &Co.Zuckerberg agreed to cut his compensation from $1.48 mil-

lion last year to $1 effective January 1, 2013, following theexample of Apple founder Steve Jobs.Facebook's chief operating officer and Zuckerberg's top lieu-

tenant, Sheryl Sandberg, earned $30.8 million in total compensa-tion last year.DOTCOM MANIA?Facebook's growing popularity has pressured entrenched

Internet companies from Yahoo to Google Inc. In 2011, the socialnetwork overtook Yahoo to become the top provider of onlinedisplay ads in the United States by revenue, industry researchfirm eMarketer says.A $10 billion IPO would be the fourth-largest in U.S. history

after Visa Inc, General Motors, and AT&T Wireless, ThomsonReuters data shows.The $5 billion figure in Wednesday's prospectus was an initial,

reference figure -- a basis for registration fees, among otherthings -- and could change based on investor demand.The prospectus said 85 percent of Facebook's 2011 revenue

was derived from advertising. Social-gaming company Zynga,creator of Farmville, accounted for 12 percent of Facebook's rev-enue last year.

Facebook's Zuckerberg to keep iron grip after IPO

Zuckerberg will "control all matterssubmitted to stockholders for vote,as well as the overall managementand direction of our company."

PARENTING

The wife was looking for some ideas for this week’sarticle and like always I tossed out a few. After amoment’s thought she said “sounds good, why don’t youwrite it” so here we go…

I’m slowing down.I used to be a very fast walker, but

I’m slowing down. And no, it’s not that I turn 50 this

year. I mean heck, I completed myfirst triathlon last year, the day aftermy 49th birthday and I really am look-ing forward to my next birthday. It’sso much better than not having one.No, the reason I’m slowing down is

not my nearly 50 years. It’s becausemy daughter’s 5.

The wife goes to work early and I am fortunate enoughto go to work a little later, so the mornings are mine.Get Sophia up in the morning, breakfast (cereal or my

world-famous Papa Waffles, the whip cream may help thepopularity of this dish at our house), flush, brush andclothes for school. Still trying to figure out how the out-fits that I help pick out in the morning and receive com-ments like “great choices Papa,” are not the ones she exitsher room wearing. “Come on baby we have to get moving,” I say. “Sophie,

shoes, let’s focus. Hey, hey, hey wait, we still have tobrush your hair.” Sounds busy, right? No time for slowing down here.In the morning we are moving fast, but the slow down

starts the moment we step out the door. We are lucky to live just a block from our school and I

love our walk over each morning.Since we are actually walking I know that we have suc-

cessfully finished all of our morning tasks.There is no need to hurry up now and we can make the

walk in just a couple minutes.It is during this walk that I have discovered how slow I

now move.I am not ready to let go of our morning.I love that we hold hands and she gives me three little

squeezes that mean, “I love you,” and if I do not respondfast enough with squeezes of my own I get quizzed aboutit.

I love that she always says good morning to Mr.Angelo, our crossing guard, and always says thank-youwithout any prompting.I’m slowing down because I know at some point in the

future she is not going to want to hold hands, not want totell me about what she thinks her day has in store.But for now she does and I will happily walk that walk

every morning, rain or shine, hot or cold and I will foreverlove that my daughter wants to walk slow as well.She loves school, loves her friends and loves her

teacher, but is in no hurry to get there.I hope in 20 years she will still want to walk slow with

her dad, slow because I’ll be 70 and slower, and slowbecause she wants to.

Jackson or Hodge.Like last year’s vicious Assembly battle between Das

Williams and Susan Jordan in the Democratic primary,Jackson and Hodge are on a collision course that has alreadyshred alliances among liberal Democrats.Jackson has built an early campaign around her experience,

progressive record, and a focus on green jobs and education.She has received the endorsement of Santa Barbara andVentura County Democratic Delegates — a recommendationthat will go to the state party.The 36-year-old Hodge has cast himself as an outsider who

is tired of the business-as-usual Sacramento politics. He saidCalifornia is broken, and that the lawmakers focus too much

on what’s right for their own political careers, not what’s rightfor the people.Hodge said Jackson is relying on her Sacramento connec-

tions to raise money, but that her fundraising does not illus-trate her popularity among voters.“I have more than 100 donors who have given under $100

— money that has been raised locally,” Hodge said. “And Ilive in a community that is unemployed and doesn’t havemoney to give.”He’s not surprised that Jackson has raised more than him.“I have spent eight years working hard in this area for

working class people and I am not part of the establishment,so how can you expect any different of a result?” Hodge said.Still, Hodge admits that Ma has been important in his

fundraising efforts. In fact, Hodge raised more in the counties

that Ma represents in the Bay Area, about $27,000 more thanhe did in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, about $18,000.“Those are all friends of ours,” Hodge said. “Friends of

family. I have a statewide network from my work advocatingon behalf of the public safety.”Jackson, who lost a bid for state Senate to Tony Strickland

four years ago, received $2,500 from Santa Barbara residentJudith Staplemann; $3,000 from Planned Parenthood ActionFund; $7,800 from the California Nurses Association PAC;$3,000 from Ventura’s Yvon Chouinard; and $2,000 fromFoley, Bezek, Behle and Curtis. “Clearly, Hannah-Beth is the grassroots candidate in this

campaign,” said Assemblyman Das Williams. “The people ofSanta Barbara and Ventura Counties are expressing theirdesire to elect a Senator who will stand up for them.”

MONEYFROM PAGE 2

Millionaires would pay a minimum 30 percent effective taxrate under a law introduced on Wednesday in the Senate withthe backing of President Barack Obama and named after bil-lionaire investor Warren Buffett.Nicknamed the "Buffett Rule," the tax bill reflects Democrat

Obama's bid ahead of November elections to highlight the sortof unfairness he says is represented by Buffett's tax anomaly -that he pays a lower effective rate than his secretary does.The "Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012," introduced by

Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, has almost nochance of passage this year as the Republican-controlled Houseof Representatives has sworn off tax increases."The president is desperate to distract attention away from

his failed economic policies," Kevin Smith, a spokesman for

House Speaker John Boehner, said on Wednesday. HouseRepublicans "are going to focus on tax policy that actuallyhelps create jobs - not soundbites," he said.Revenue generated from the tax has yet to be officially cal-

culated, but Whitehouse said it could raise $40 billion to $50billion a year.In October, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat,

introduced the American Jobs Act, which included a first ver-sion of the Buffett rule as a 5.6 percent surtax on millionaires.It never came to a vote.About 94,500 taxpayers, a quarter of all U.S. millionaires,

pay a lower tax rate than the bulk of middle-income taxpayers,according to the Congressional Research Service.Buffett makes a living off investments, which are taxed at 15

percent for capital gains and qualified dividends. Buffett's sec-retary earns a salary and is taxed in wage-income tax bracketsthat range from 10 percent to 35 percent.The tax fairness issue flared last month when Republican

Mitt Romney, one of the wealthiest men ever to run for presi-dent, and his wife Ann came under pressure to release their taxreturns.Documents released last week showed they paid an effective

tax rate of 13.9 percent in 2010 and expect to pay a 15.4 per-cent effective tax rate when they file their returns for 2011.Obama seized on the issue in his State of the Union address

last week when he called for the 30 percent minimum tax.Buffett's secretary, Debbie Bosanek, attended the speech as aguest of first lady Michelle Obama.

U.S. weighs 30 percent "Buffett Rule" tax on millionaires

NEWS

President Barack Obama on Wednesdayproposed a multi-billion-dollar package to helpU.S. homeowners refinance and stave off fore-closure, part of an election-year push that islikely to face an uphill battle by theRepublican opposition in Congress.Obama moved to counter Republican criti-

cism that the proposal would use taxpayermoney to bail out irresponsible borrowers bystressing that only homeowners current ontheir payments could benefit. The presidenthad sketched out the plan in his State of theUnion address last week.Home values have dropped 33 percent from

their 2006 peak and nearly 11 millionAmericans now owe more than their homes areworth. Millions more have lost their homes instates that are up for grab in November's pres-idential election.The White House is seeking to contrast

Obama's stance with that of Republican presi-dential front-runner Mitt Romney, who hassaid foreclosures should be allowed to runtheir course."The truth is, it will take more time than any

of us would like for the housing market torecover from this crisis," Obama said at a com-munity center in Falls Church, Virginia. "Butthere are actions we can take, right now, toprovide some relief to folks who've been mak-ing their payments on time."The $5 billion to $10 billion program, that

would be funded by a tax on the nation'slargest banks, would allow homeowners torefinance at record low borrowing coststhrough government-backed loans. A senioradministration official said it could reach 3.5million Americans whose loans are not gov-ernment-guaranteed. An additional 11 millionhomeowners whose loans are backed byFannie Mae and Freddie Mac could also be eli-gible, the official said.The Federal Housing Administration would

run the program -- another sticking point forRepublicans, who are worried about theagency's solvency. The FHA has been hard hitby mortgage defaults, and Republican law-makers have warned it could eventually need ataxpayer bailout.Republicans also have rejected Obama's call

to pay for the program with a bank tax thatCongress has turned down twice before."Rather than increase the government's

stranglehold on our nation's housing financesystem, we need to dial it back," saidRepublican Representative Scott Garrett ofNew Jersey.Obama's plan would allow borrowers to

refinance even if they owe far more than theirhomes are worth. Many homeowners have notbeen able take advantage of current record-lowmortgage rates because the value of theirhomes has fallen and lending standards havetightened.
