CA: Medical marijuana regulation bill passes Assembly
STATE: Medical marijuana regulation bill passes Assembly
AB 2312 creates the Board of Medical Marijuana Enforcement within the California Department of Consumer Affairs to oversee and regulate the medical marijuana industry in California.
It also would authorize local governments to impose an excise tax.
Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro (D-North Coast), who represents Lake County in the Assembly, spoke in support of a bill on Thursday and was among the 41 Assemblymembers who voted for it. He also is a coauthor of the bill.
“I support this bill because it would establish a statewide regulatory system that would remove ambiguities between state law, federal law and local regulations,” Chesbro said in a statement on the Floor of the Assembly today when Ammiano presented the bill.

CA Trial Court System is going MORE public about the drastic cuts
http://tinyurl.com/79gbcla
"On May 17, the Judicial Council of California held an emergency session to meet with California Director of Finance Ana Matosantos about Gov. Jerry Brown’s new budget proposal, which called for a $544 million reduction to the judicial branch in fiscal year 2012-13 after four consecutive years of cuts totaling $653 million.
In order to cover the cuts, the courts must pull $300 million from trial court reserves, while $240 million would be realized from delays in court construction. Another $4 million will come from increased retirement contributions from state court employees.
Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, who chairs of the Judicial Council, called the proposed cuts “startling, harsh, immediate and shocking.”"
