Former California lobbyist Artie Samish returned to Sacramento after 20 years and urged heavy taxes on liquor beer horseracing oil minerals and cigarettes. He recalled his past influence while saying public welfare is owed relief and admitted no regret for his earlier methods. He noted legislators’ pay rises and reflected on a career long described as powerfully beholden to clients.

Policy Shift at Napa State Hospital After Youth Attacks
State mental health officials ordered Napa State Hospital to return juvenile court cases with behavior disorders to the California Youth Authority. The directive reduces admissions to the children’s unit and aims to emphasize treatment over observation, affecting about half of its 183 patients and 20 to 25 percent at Camarillo. Affected wards will be staffed fully and admissions slowed until 167 beds are available.
