Monday Links

It is one of those slow days where the premier California political columnist writes his piece on the California Hall of Fame. So how about a few quick links.

• Looks like redistricting is back on track again, now that Arnold has backed an initiative advanced by good government groups. It does not include federal seats, just state ones.
• File this one in the California international leadership file. California pension funds are teaming up with 150 corporate executives to demand greenhouse gas emission cuts.
• The failure of Congress to pass an SCHIP bill is about to have dire consequences for the children currently enrolled in California's health program for poor children. Without a bill and thus the funding, thousands will be taken off the rolls and go without health coverage.
• Cost of living raises for legislators are going into effect during a time when the state is running a deficit. Some legislators have refused the raises, most of whom are up for re-election.

That's all I have today. Hopefully tomorrow there will be more interesting stories worth a full post.
