Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Dan Walters Daily: Dan says 7 million Californians could miss out on health care coverage if the Supreme Court rules universal health care unconstitutional.

The bills literally trailing the budget measure this year are surfacing, and Kevin Yamamura reports today on some surprises.

The Senate Budget Committee may meet again today to continue reviewing the legislation, which includes an education bill that would let school districts cut double the number of instruction days Gov. Jerry Brown proposed in May.

Both houses have scheduled floor votes beginning at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, the day Brown is required to sign or veto the budget bill lawmakers sent him more than a week ago.

"Those were the days ..." is the theme of an event this event sponsored by the Kenneth L. Maddy Institute at CSU Fresno. It's set for 5 to 7 p.m. at the Stanford Mansion at 800 N Street.

Former Senate President Pro Tem (and current state Democratic Party chairman) John Burton will join former legislative GOP leader (and current partner at California Strategies LLC) Jim Brulte to host a fundraising reception for the Bob Beverly Sacramento Legislative Intern Scholarship Fund.

The invitation promises appearances by Gov. Jerry Brown, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff and Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway. Tickets are $250.

Got a tax problem? The state Board of Equalization will hold its annual Taxpayers' Bill of Rights hearing today. The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. at its headquarters, 450 N St., in the first floor board room.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
