The California budget is approaching meltdown status and it it time to recap some significant points from the past four months. While I am going to focus on California, word is coming out of Arizona alluding to a pending shut-down of state parks BEFORE everyone heads for the July 4th weekend. California, you are not alone. It is the ECONOMY, stupid!! Wait, we heard that a few election cycles ago (Clinton and the Democrats, 1992). Is anyone listening? Does anyone care? Okay, back to California theatrics... As posted in my BLOG on Feb 19, 2009:
After a 45 plus hour session (longest in state history) California has a budget deal ready for governor signature.
Through a combination of budget cuts, tax increases and shaky assumptions, the “ugly budget” is ready for Round 2 - yet another costly “special election”.
Part of the “shaky assumptions” is voter approval is necessary on two constitutional ballot measures: open primaries and a ban on legislative pay increases during deficit years. |

(July 2009) - The Obama Administration took swift action on June 17 replacing the current Chief of the Forest Service, Gail Kimbell. The Secretary of Agriculture announced the appointment of a new Chief and in the concluding sentence of the press announcement, thanked Chief Kimbell for her service.
Kimbell, in an email to her colleagues at the Forest Service, said that the news of her dismissal was "sudden." She said simply, "the Administration wanted to make a change." It did so by appointing Tom Tidwell to assume her post.
Tidwell will become the 17th Chief of the Forest Service and will officially relieve Kimbell of her duties on July 3rd (the position of Chief of the Forest Service does not require Senate confirmation). He brings to the job a total of 32 years of experience working in a variety of positions within the Forest Service, beginning as a fire fighter. His most recent position was Regional Forester for Region One (Montana, North Dakota, and part of Idaho).

BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
CODE RED ACTION ALERT - Action required this am !!!!!!!!!!!! - CA OHV Trust Frund At Risk - Again
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
Several weeks ago, BRC asked you to take a few minutes to ask lawmakers in Sacramento to leave the California OHV Program and its Trust Funds alone. THANKS to the many letters that were sent in - they listened. However, a new threat has arisen.
The latest twist in the "Let's take money from the OHV Program" saga is that the folks under the dome in Sacramento are considering gutting the basic operating budget of OHMVR that funds state OHV parks and provides grants to other land agencies.
See article/blog from Capitol Notes: http://blogs.kqed.org:80/capitalnotes/2009/06/29/guvs-plan-b-deficit-fix/
As many of you already know, the State of California is in fiscal meltdown. One victim of the current budgetary crisis is the CA OHV program. It is one of the very few self-funded "user-pay/user-benefit" government programs in the state. The California legislature has already "borrowed" and diverted $90 million dollars from the OHV Trust Fund to other non-OHV-related programs.
If there is one time you send a letter to Sacramento... it is TODAY. Send your letter and get as many of your friends to do the same. BRC has provided a sample letter that you can cut and paste and FAX/email to the following legislators including the chairperson of each committee. |

 Bumpers take a lickin’ and show the abuse. Fresh from the showroom floor, a chrome bumper is bright, shiny, and straight. On a pickup, a bumper is subjected to abuse and soon loses the showroom luster. My Dodge bumper has seen its share of abuse and finally suffered one incident where it could not support the truck weight on a hi-lift jack. As a result, the light-weight stock bumper crumpled. Time for an upgrade to a sturdy after-market bumper.
That proved a little harder than going to the local 4x4 shop and ordering a bumper. I needed a rear bumper and there are many options for front bumpers. It appears front bumpers are replaced more often than rear bumpers.
My search narrowed to two potential vendors. Vendor A provided a quality bumper for Dodge 2500/3500 and claimed their bumper would not fit a 1500 as mounting brackets were different.
