UC Fee Hike Approved By Regents Despite Opposition
In San Francisco the UC regents committee backed a 48 dollar tuition and fee increase for UC students, with debate over funding for student services and the scope of budget authority. The plan includes provisions on course fees and potential state aid talks, while faculty representatives criticized the proposal as too aggressive and inconsistent with governance reform efforts.

Hundreds pledge support for tax-petition initiative
Advisor Philip Watson said police received hundreds of calls Thursday from volunteers to circulate petitions for his tax relief initiative. He announced the proposal Wednesday proposing a 1.4 percent property tax on market value with a $20,000 exemption and a 20 percent assessment to set exemptions. The amendment would bar using property taxes to fund welfare or education, and Watson hopes to qualify the measure for the June ballot with roughly 5,000 valid signatures.

California Death Penalty Law Challenge Move
California's attorney general seeks to pause a murder trial and request a ruling on the constitutionality of the death penalty. A Santa Barbara County judge ruled the laws unconstitutional for mandating death in certain cases, aligning with a recent Supreme Court trend. The petition argues this issue must be decided by the state high court before further trial steps.
