The elephant in the room: California's fiscal mess continues to worsen
thanks to the anti-tax, anti-government policies of the Republican Right.
In other news: The City Council allows itself to get bullied; the Chico
Green School faces some real problems, including accreditation and maybe
even its charter; Arts DEVO follows the path of a plane to Chico (haven't
we all?!); and Farshad Azad shares his martial-arts philosophy.
Until next time,
