Supreme Court Allows California Pay Raises to Take Effect
The Supreme Court declined to hear a case on California state employee pay raises, enabling a $100 million retroactive boost with interest for about 180,000 workers. The raises, approved by the 173 legislature, compensate for prior missing increases after earlier blocks by the Cost of Living Council and a Sacramento federal judge. The action is framed as fair and overdue.

Despite Gulf offshore drilling debates, governors failed to back broad exploitation, approving only voluntary conservation after a rancorous session, with Rhode Island's Philip Noel siding with Louisiana's Edwards on tours that changed few minds. Maine’s James Longley lamented the inefficacy as waiters benefited in the closing hour.

OMBE hailed as a useful catalyst amid mixed views

Since 1969 it has 245 employees and a 52 million annual appropriation, aiding about 2500 clients yearly without direct loans.
