Senate rejects six month delay on fixed prison terms measure
In Sacramento the Senate defeated SB47 26 to 10 delaying the July 1 effective date for fixed prison terms for felons. Sen.

Meanwhile California posts a new economic index showing December gains led by 27.7 percent rise in new corporate incorporations and overall index up 2 percent.
