Housing-finance showdown looms in California Senate
The California Senate rejected a 950 million bill to establish a state housing-finance program on a 21-10 vote, with reconsideration possible Monday. The measure, from Assemblyman Peter Chacon, lacks a moral obligation clause but creates a 10 million insurance fund. supporters and bond dealers split on the plan, while Sen Zenovich’s rival bill carries the moral obligation feature. The Brown administration argues the clause aids faster bond sales to launch the housing-finance agency.

Senate unit OKs bill to curb milk controls
The California Senate approved Sen. Clare Berryhill’s milk pricing bill 21 to 13 to trim state controls while preserving some price minimums. The measure would remove the food and agriculture director’s power to set prices, require grocers to sell at wholesale plus 16.6 percent, and grant temporary reimposition authority to handle severe market disruptions. Critics said the plan changes little and could leave dairy prices largely unchanged.
