Brown seeks strict public disclosure of funds and assets
California Secretary of State Edmund G Brown Jr proposes a new conflict of interest law requiring elected officials from the governor to the Legislature to file annual statements listing all income and assets and gifts over 25 dollars. The bill, to be introduced by Sen Arlen Gregorio, aims to end backroom politics and secret payoffs and set a nationwide ethical standard.

Karabian pushes bans on public opinion polls
Sacramento Assemblyman Walter Karabian proposes outlawing political polls contracted by newspapers, claiming polls are corrosive to the political system. He notes potential First Amendment issues with a bill barring pollsters from receiving compensation for polls tied to candidates or ballot propositions. A second bill would require pollster registration and annual certification, and a third would force disclosure of receipts, expenditures, and participant details.

Taxpayer funds pay for Capitol elevator operators
Sacramento taxpayers spend 65472 this year to pay elevator operators in the state Capitol automatic lifts. The operators are paid from a 34 million yearly legislative budget, exempt from hearings. DGS administrator Dale Matzke says staff are needed per Legislature request, though Rep. John Burton disputes that. Operators earn 2.87 to 3.47 per hour and sometimes work weekends during recess.

Tough new mattress blaze bill aims to set strict CA standards
Sacramento lawmakers introduced a bill backed by the California State Firemen's Association to require fire resistant mattresses sold in California. Assemblyman Bob Wilson says the measure would block weaker federal rules, insisting California standards be in effect. John Kehoe says federal rules risk preempting state flammability standards, sparking support from consumer affairs. The 1970 law had begun implementing mattress flammability rules, but federal rules slated for June may override.
