McCarthy doubtful on per diem rise while backing salary commission
Assembly Speaker Leo T. McCarthy said legislators unlikely to seek a $44 per diem increase amid high unemployment and weak economy. He supports an independent salary and expense commission and noted the board may set limits based on cost of living. He also backs Gov Brown’s $26 million capital construction proposal and cited a calm Democratic Caucus after a challenge to his speakership.

Chel named to oil price probe panel
Assemblyman Fred W Chel of Long Beach is named to the Joint Committee on Public Domain by Speaker Leo McCarthy. The panel will conclude its oil pricing inquiry by July 1 and consider stricter regulations to lower gasoline prices and boost fuel supplies involving tide and submerged lands. The panel last year issued five reports urging prosecutions of seven major firms for alleged crude market manipulation. Chel noted offshore lands near Long Beach and possible lawsuits over fair value payments to the state.
