In an attempt to convince the governor to reconsider his action Chesbro is spearheading an effort with a letter to the governor, stating, “We are writing to request that you reconsider your recent action to eliminate funding for Home-To-School Transportation. Your decision to completely eliminate this funding for this important program disproportionately affects low-income and rural students throughout California.”
He continued, “Given the current budget situation, we understand that difficult and painful decisions are needed, especially since we have no additional sources of revenue at this time. However, any education cuts should be equitable and not impact our most vulnerable students.”
Assemblymembers Luis Alejo, Michael Allen, Betsy Butler, Paul Fong, Alyson Huber, Jared Huffman, Bill Monning, Kristin Olsen, Henry Perea and Mariko Yamada and State Sen. Noreen Evans co-signed the letter.
Home-to-School Transportation funding was eliminated in a move by Gov. Brown last month when he opted to “trigger” budget cuts after revenues failed to meet projections.
Lake County Superintendent of Schools Wally Holbrook reported that the 51.5 percent reduction in transportation will result in a loss of approximately $875,000 to Lake County schools.
Chesbro said he decided to write this letter to the governor after being contacted by school districts and the families they serve in the First Assembly District.
“Many of the students who attend schools in my district are from low-income families,” Chesbro said. “Most of them live miles from their school. Without Home-to-School Transportation, there is no way for many of these students to get to school.”

Iovate Health Sciences Inc., a Canadian corporation, and its American affiliate, Iovate Health Sciences USA Inc., have agreed to pay a total of $1.5 million in civil penalties and costs in the settlement of a lawsuit brought by the district attorneys’ offices in Sonoma, Alameda, Marin, Monterey, Napa, Orange, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta and Solano counties, Ravitch reported.
The lawsuit alleged that Iovate engaged in false and misleading advertising in connection with the marketing and sale of certain dietary supplement products, and violated Proposition 65, which requires a warning label on products that expose consumers to over one-half microgram of lead per day.
“The Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office is committed to working with prosecutors throughout California to protect our citizens from deceptive advertising and potentially harmful products,” said Ravitch.
The settlement, signed in Napa County Superior Court, pertains to Iovate products marketed and sold throughout the state, and requires the Iovate companies to pay $1.2 million in civil penalties that will provide support for the future enforcement of California consumer protection laws. The agreement also provides for $300,000 in investigative costs
It is the second largest multi-district attorney dietary supplement settlement of its kind in California history, Ravitch reported.
The Iovate companies sell dietary supplements in California and throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The deceptive advertising allegations in the district attorneys’ lawsuit involved the following Iovate products: Accelis, nanoSLIM, Cold MD, Germ MD, EZ-Swallow Rapid-Tabs, Germ MD Effervescent Tablets, Allergy MD, and Allergy MD Rapid-Tabs.
Additionally, the lawsuit alleged Cold MD was an unapproved new drug, the sales and distribution of which are illegal under California law.
The violation involving California’s Proposition 65 was based on laboratory results that revealed certain lots of Cold MD contained significantly more than one-half microgram of lead in a single dose of the product.
The product was marketed and sold in violation of Proposition 65, which requires warning labels on all products containing more than one-half of a microgram of lead.
Iovate stopped selling Cold MD back in 2008.
The Iovate companies did not admit fault or liability, but agreed to abide by a comprehensive court order to prevent any future unfair or deceptive business practices.
Deputy District Attorney Matthew Cheever handled the case for Sonoma County.
