        \_ Why not raise tuition? At private universities, students generate
           revenue. Students should not be seen as an expense. UC has
           been a tremendous bargain for most of its existence. It's time

2/16    By the way, you had better hope you're not owed a CA state tax refund

Print this page SACRAMENTO -- California's prisons are going smokeless -- almost. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation Monday that will ban tobacco use by both inmates and staff at the state's adult and youth correctional facilities, starting July 1, 2005, except in staff housing when prisoners are not present and at Indian religious ceremonies. The Department of Corrections already bars tobacco use by inmates in 13 of its 32 adult prison facilities. The California Youth Authority has banned tobacco use by its wards since the late 1980s, but both systems have smoking areas for staff. The bill's author, Assemblyman Tim Leslie, R-Tahoe City, predicted it would "drastically reduce" prison health care costs. "The governor has put us on the road to saving taxpayer dollars and prisoners' lives." But Jim Lindburg, legislative director for the Friends Committee on Legislation, a Quaker group, predicted the ban would merely drive tobacco use underground. Schwarzenegger signed 17 bills into law Monday and vetoed one. Here are some highlights: SIGNED Computer Contracts -- State agencies will be encouraged to use performance-based procurement practices when entering information technology contracts. Smoking -- State prisons will ban use of tobacco by inmates and staffers as county jails do. VETOED Inspecting dams -- The state will not change its method of inspecting and regulating dams.
