Business lobbying groups taking different tack in Washington
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800
The National Restaurant Assn. and others have moved toward better relations with Democrats--and are getting a seat at the decision-making table on healthcare reform and other issues. For decades, nothing symbolized the unshakable alliance between Washington's business lobbyists and the Republican Party more than the National Restaurant Assn.
Schwarzenegger to propose spending $500 million for worker training
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800
The funding is part of a five-pronged plan aimed at helping recession-battered California. But legislative Democrats and Republicans may find some parts hard to agree on. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today will lay out plans to spend $500 million on worker training in an effort to create 100,000 jobs, along with other measures to stimulate the economy, as a centerpiece of his policy agenda for his final year in office.
Former Republican congressman Richard Pombo to run for California House seat
Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800
The 14-year House veteran, who lost a reelection bid in 2006 after corruption allegations and opposition by environmentalists, would face state Sen. Jeff Denham, among others, in a GOP primary. Introducing a bit of drama into a usually lackluster California House race, Richard W. Pombo, a former Republican congressional heavyweight who was defeated in a reelection bid in 2006, plans to try for a political comeback -- in a different district than the one in which he lost.
