Issue 8, 2014 PRESIDENT’S CORNER BENEFITS CORNER True Greatness Robert Masson RSA President W hen you’re gone, how do you want to be remembered? Do you want people to recall your deeds, or maybe to reminisce fondly about what you meant to them? It’s difficult to imagine how those who remain here after us will regard our lives, but that brings an important realization: we are building that life, and those memories in others, right now. I had the honor and the privilege to attend a memorial event held for Deputy Edward Michael Schrader, who died in the line of duty July 11, 1974. The RSA commissioned a painting of him which was unveiled at the Lake Elsinore Station on July 31 (see article on page 10). The love and memories alive during the ceremony was humbling. You might think that in 40 years emotions would be blunted and memories faded, but no; family, friends, and co-workers of Deputy Schrader filed into Lake Elsinore station to attend and their feelings were fresh and strong. The Official Publication of the Riverside Sheriffs’ Association All Points Bulletin Any of us would be fortunate to have the love and regard that was evident for Deputy Schrader. Listening to his family and friends speak of him, I received the impression of a man of quality who was well loved. I never knew him personally, but in a way I felt I met him at that event through the feelings of those who did. How will I be remembered? How will you? What will be said about you? If our lives aren’t about the people in them, what are they about? We do an important job, but we do it for people. To protect, to serve. It’s my belief that law enforcement professionals are some of the highest quality people on earth, with virtues of honor and duty that extend beyond their work life. We strive for an ideal in work, and naturally we strive for a similar ideal in our personal lives as well. We are all capable of great things, and that doesn’t mean stuff that will make the history books, but things that will fill the hearts of those near us. Deputy Schrader did great things, and his spirit lived on in the hearts of those I met at the memorial. I could see that his life changed them for the better, and their love for him was undiminished with time. As we enter the hot days of another Riverside County summer, I am asking you to take a moment and think about the impression you are making on those around you. How is your life enriching others? Maybe you have doubts that you are, or maybe you’re going through something right now that puts the idea of “doing great things” beyond your reach. I don’t think we’re ever beyond the point where we can’t stop and say, “I can do better. I am better.” This past month the RSA handed out its 2014 Scholarship Awards to members and their children. This is one way that the RSA tries to contribute to you, our members, to help you achieve great things and to be better. By virtue of being an RSA member, you have a hand in those awards as well. We want to be a force for positive change in your life, to help you become that force in someone else’s. Deputy Schrader was an obvious force for good and he passed it on to those around him, and they passed it on to me and those they met. I think that’s how true greatness works, it lives on beyond us continuing our good works even when we are no longer physically here. God bless and be safe!

Deputy Schrader’s impact on the community, and on his family and co-workers, echo down the years and are just as strong today as they RSA President Robert Masson (left), Sheriff Stan Sniff and were back in 1974. Sheri Schrader-Carmody unveil Those who knew Deputy Schrader the Deputy Schrader portrait. describe him as a quality person whom everyone looked up to. When talking to his friends and family, the pain of his passing is still strong in their eyes. They speak of his courage and character and an ability to connect with people. During Deputy Schrader’s eulogy in 1974, it was said, “When the news headlines die down, the numbness felt by those who knew Ed Schrader will still exist. Ed Schrader wasn’t the kind of every-day person whose memory you could simply dismiss with a shrug of the shoulders and an ‘Oh well, that’s what cops are paid for.’” Four decades later those words have been proven true as the family and friends of Deputy Schrader gathered to honor and remember him. The numerous professional recognitions he received during his 17 months with the Department spoke of how well regarded he was professionally as well as personally. A newspaper article from 1974 described Deputy Schrader as having become friends with people at the apartment See HONORED on page 11 Page 10 • All Points Bulletin The portrait of Deputy Schrader was commissioned by the RSA as part of a program to honor fallen warriors. Issue 8, 2014 COVER ARTICLE Deputy Schrader in 1974. Honored Continued from page 10 building where he was later killed, and “something of a big brother to their children.” One resident described Deputy Schrader as “friendly, warmhearted, outgoing. The kids loved him, we all considered him a good friend.” On July 11, 1974, Deputy Schrader responded to a family disturbance call in Rancho California. A man and wife were arguing over custody of their children, and there was evidence that an abduction was taking place. The wife called the Elsinore Station for assistance. When asked about that day in 1974, Sgt. Dennis Harter, who had been Deputy Schrader’s partner, talked about how the call that Deputy Schrader took should have been his call. “Ed volunteered and took my call,” Harter said, pausing for a moment as he thought about it. “So ... it’s a tough day.” Retired Sgt. Chris Taylor, who was a patrol deputy at that time, recounted that the suspect was gone from his apartment when Deputy Schrader arrived. He talked to the wife about the disturbance and learned that the husband was possibly an AWOL Marine and may have abducted the couple’s children. Betty Sampson (Neubauer at the time) said that Deputy Schrader contacted the Lake Elsinore Station to get more information about the suspect. “The radio didn’t always work well in that area, it’s behind a hill. So Ed had to use a pay phone to call,” she said. Former dispatcher Betty Sampson (center) looks over Deputy Schrader wanted Sampson to find out if the husband scrapbooks she brought to the memorial along with other attendees. was in the midst of divorce proceedings. The answer would help Deputy struggled, and the suspect gained control of Schrader determine if a civil or Deputy Schrader’s weapon and fatally shot a criminal offense was being committed, him.

Sampson has wondered over the Sampson made some calls and learned years if things would have turned out that the couple were getting divorced. She differently had she gotten back to Deputy called back on the pay phone, but Deputy Schrader did not answer. She tried his radio Schrader sooner. “What could I have done quicker that would have led to a different and also got no response. “It was around outcome,” she said. “I took it upon myself, this time that we started to get reports that blaming myself. It took me a long time to he had been shot,” Sampson said. “I don’t realize it was out of my hands.” know what happened between when he called and when he got shot.” It appeared later that Deputy Schrader had returned to the apartment when he See HONORED on page 12 was surprised by the suspect.

Page 11 • All Points Bulletin COVER ARTICLE Honored Continued from page 11 Harter, along with Deputy Gary Halpin, arrived on the scene shortly after the shooting to find Deputy Schrader lying on the lawn in front of the apartment complex where the incident occurred. Several residents of the complex were attempting to resucitate Deputy Schrader, with no success. Deputy Schrader is buried at Arlington Cemetery in Riverside. Earlier in the month, on the 40th anniversary of his death on July 11, his family and friends gathered at his graveside to hold a private remembrance. On July 31, they also gathered at the Lake Elsinore Station to witness the unveiling of a memorial portriat of Deputy Edward Michael Schrader. The portrait was commissioned by the RSA as part of an ongoing program to honor fallen warriors from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. RSA President Robert Masson is hoping to have all of the fallen officers memorialized in portraits. About thirty family members, friends and co-workers gathered in a conference room at the station to share stories about Deputy Schrader and remember a man who had changed all their lives. Some thought the honor was a long time in coming, stating that, at the time of the shooting, local municipalities did not give Deputy Schrader the recognition he deserved. Also at that time trauma from fatal encounters was not dealt with as it is today; there were no counseling or grief support services in the department. Many of those who knew and loved Deputy Schrader felt set adrift and that his memory and sacrifice had not been honored. Lake Elsinore Station Captain Leonard Hollingsworth opened the unveiling event, thanking those attending and asking if anyone would like to say some words publicly. Speaking on behalf of Sheri Schrader-Carmody, Deputy Schrader’s widow, her husband Tom Carmody held her hand as he thanked everyone for attending. He remarked how Ed Schrader’s presence lives on in their lives. RSA President Robert Masson addressed the assembled crowd, thanking them for attending and saying what an honor it was to be involved in the memorial. “I hope this helps bring closure for some of you,” Masson said, noting the strong emotions from those attending despite the decades that had passed since. The pain of Deputy Schrader’s passing had not dimmed. Sheriff Stan Sniff also spoke at the memorial, remarking on the size of the county and how dangerous that can make it for law enforcement personnel, even more so back in 1974 with fewer resources. After comments, Sheriff Sniff stood with Robert Masson and Sheri Schrader-Carmody, as a black cloth was pulled away to reveal the portrait which is situated in the main hallway at the Lake Elsinore Station. Retired Sgt. Taylor contacted and organized the retirees who were notified about the July 31 unveiling. “All I did was to locate and notify all the still living people who were assigned to the Elsinore Station on that day. I did it for Dispatcher Betty Sampson,” Taylor said. “She was working with Ed on the radio when he was killed. Even after forty years she still needed some closure and I felt the dedication would help. When I learned about the RSA program I talked to Bob Masson about getting Ed moved to the top of the list. I did that for Betty also.” He said just one day before Ed was shot there was a social gathering of Lake Elsinore Department members, including Deputy Schrader.

Many who attended that function in 1974 were present for the unveiling on July 31, 2014. Betty Sampson attended the unveiling as well, bringing with her scrapbooks where she had collected articles and information from that time. Inside the books are cut out stories with headlines like, “Young deputy killed in Rancho California,” “Deputy Sheriff shot, killed,” “What you can do for the memory of Ed Schrader,” and “Deputy Schrader’s Last Act One of Heroism.” “The unveiling event was overwhelming,” Betty Sampson said. “Emotions were running so high. Later that day I was exhausted.” She said seeing Deputy Schrader’s family “filled a void in me” she didn’t know was there. Deputy Schrader’s death had impacted everyone at the station, Sampson said. “To have something like this happen, it was so hard. We worked so close together, we were a family.” The unveiling event, she said, brought some degree of closure and a level of satisfaction that surprised her. Like many in attendance, Harter was very pleased about the unveiling and memorial. “I think it’s great. Rancho California, Temecula never recognized the death,” he said. This sentiment was echoed by others at the station, that Dep. Schrader’s death had not received the recognition it deserved. “This is a long time in coming,” Mary BacIssue 8, 2014 Lake Elsinore Station Captain Leonard Hollingsworth (left) and Deputy Schrader’s widow Sheri Schrader-Carmody (center) with Ed’s brother Ken Schrader (right) look at the newly unveiled portrait of Deputy Schrader. cus, who was a dispatcher back then, said.

Page 13 • All Points Bulletin LEGAL CORNER Public Employee’s Sworn Testimony Is Entitled To First Amendment Protection Lane v. Franks decided June 19, 2014 in the Supreme Court of the United States Mike Stone Stone Busailah, LLP T he United States Supreme Court has unanimously held that a public employee’s sworn testimony is entitled to First Amendment protection, when it is given outside the scope of ordinary job duties. While an important decision for public employees nationwide, it actually brings the law into line with the existing rule in the Ninth Circuit, which covers California, that sworn testimony by public employees concerning their job duties can be protected. In Clairmont v. Sound Mental Health (2011), the Ninth Circuit found protection for trial testimony, and in Karl v. City of Mountlake Terrace (2012), the Ninth Circuit found protection for deposition testimony.1 In Lane v. Franks, the Supreme Court clarified previous rulings in which the court said that public employees had free-speech rights when they were acting as “citizens”, but not necessarily when they were testifying about what they learned while doing their jobs and not when they were required to speak because of their specific job duties [Garcetti v. Ceballos (2006)] . Public employees who are called to testify are now protected by the First Amendment just as other citizens are, and should not have to choose between “the obligation to testify truthfully and the desire to avoid retaliation and keep their jobs,” Page 14 • All Points Bulletin For now, peace officers must understand that they are unlikely to be treated like any other “citizen” when they testify, as a peace officer, in a criminal or civil matter. wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor. “It would be antithetical to our jurisprudence to conclude that the very kind of speech necessary to prosecute corruption by public officials - speech by public employees regarding information learned through their employment - may never form the basis for a First Amendment retaliation claim,” she said. Justice Clarence Thomas noted in a concurring opinion, that the Court’s decision in Lane did not address public employees whose job requirements include testifying in court, such as police officers and laboratory analysts. It was argued by government lawyers in the case, that many government employees testify frequently as part of their job responsibilities and their supervisors need to preserve the ability to discipline such government employees who fail to prepare adequately to testify or who otherwise do sloppy work when their job responsibilities include testimony. The Court left the constitutional questions raised by these scenarios for another day. At least one judge in the Ninth Circuit has however, spoken on this subject. In his dissent in Dahlia v. Rodriguez, O’Scannlain, Circuit Judge, wrote, “[t] he case [of Christal v. Police Commission of City and County of San Francisco (1933)] explained that ‘[w]hen police officers acquire knowledge of facts which will tend to incriminate any person, it is their duty to disclose such facts to their superiors and to testify freely concerning such facts when called upon to do so before any duly constituted court or grand jury.’ Christal went so far as to say that ‘[i]t is for the performance of these duties that police officers are commissioned and paid by the community.’” Judge O’Scannlain compared Christal with Garcetti, where it was explained that when the plaintiff “performed the tasks he was paid to perform” he had “acted as a government employee” (and not as a “citizen) and therefore did not have First Amendment protection. In Garcetti, the Supreme Court held that only when a public employee speaks as a “citizen” on a matter of public concern is he or she entitled to First Amendment protection. It is unknown at this time, how the Ninth Circuit or the current Supreme Court will rule on a case if, and when, a peace officer is retaliated against for testimony in a case, when such testimony is given within the scope of his or her ordinary duties. In such a case, the court may focus on whether the nature of the testimony was routine or possibly focus on the motive behind the “retaliation” by the employing agency. For now, peace officers must understand that they are unlikely to be treated like any other “citizen” when they testify, as a peace officer, in a criminal or civil matter. Both the Clairmont and Karl cases were cited by the Ninth Circuit in Dahlia v. Rodriguez (2013), where the firm of Stone Busailah, LLP filed an amicus brief in support of the police officer whose claim of First Amendment protection for his whistleblowing activity, about corruption within his department to an outside law enforcement agency, was allowed to proceed. 1 Issue 8, 2014 In Association with various law enforcement agencies in Riverside County Is offering an accelerated Bachelor of Science Degree in CRIMINAL JUSTICE MANAGEMENT Classes meet Wednesdays at 6 pm-8 pm and 8 pm-10pm in the city of Riverside $3,000 discount for the first (30) units you take in the program at an on-site location. 32 Semester Credits for Basic P.O.S.T.

Page 15 • All Points Bulletin Issue 8, 2014 CHAPLAIN’S CORNER Crime and Punishment Harley Broviak Chaplain A bout 10:00 a.m. there was a knocking at the front door. Eloise invited the Captain and Sergeant to come in and sat them on the living room couch. Suddenly Eloise became white-faced and tears were running down her face and she shook as she asked, “What? What? What?” The Captain said, “Dewey went down on his motorcycle. He’s in Mercy Hospital. Would you like us to take you to him?” Then the fireworks went off. Eloise shouted “No! No! No! Why don’t you just leave? Get out! Go! Just go!” She ushered them out. Needless to say, they had expected tears but to see an enraged, yelling wife was not anticipated. A state of denial is a usual manifestation, but the anger and rage is unforeseen. Eloise had three small children at home and it is a handful for a mother with one even, when crisis occurs. She had no local relatives and few friends that were homemakers only. There was no room for disaster! At that time, their department did not have a Spousal Support Group. Upon learning of a crisis or tragedy, the “S.S.G.” rallies to provide presence, comfort, compassion and understanding to the family of the officer. These persons are the “family” to the injured or distressed officer and his/her family. Eloise had no family close to turn to. So many officers come from far and distant places to join a department with high credibility and good pay far away from the officers original home. Many departments seek very qualified officers from different states as cadets or laterally transferred officers. This was the case with Dewey. Eloise went along with the transfer because of more pay and better living conditions here. Her acting out was within the scope of crisis experience. She was lonely, fragile and untutored as an officer’s wife. When the two officers left, she hurriedly dressed her children, plopped them into their car seats and “flew” to the hospital. As they approached the hospital, the three crying children unnerved her as she approached the boulevard stop sign at the driveway to the Emergency Room. MESSAGE FROM CHAPLAIN HARLEY BROVIAK Communion will be held individually, each Friday at RSA 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Page 16 • All Points Bulletin The children’s distraction interfered with her focus on her driving skills and she braked for the sign but did not wholly stop. A traffic officer was sitting at the out-of-sight entrance and lit her up. Eloise was frantic, then almost out of control, tearfully trying to explain to the officer what was going on in her life. He said “too bad, but that’s no excuse. Sign here!” The ticket stated she was “out of control, vicious and argumentative”! Eloise’ tears did not impress the T.O. He told her she was “stupid to be driving while in such a crisis, AND...with three wailing kids in the car!” Dewey’s recovery was a long process. Eloise was left in the dark with no one being either “family supportive” or just plain humanitarian. His wages were interrupted and since he was still a “newbie”, he had little sick time for credit. Money was very tight and Eloise was frightened not knowing how to make any choices without counsel. She had to appear in traffic court and asked to enter a plea. She said, “Yes, I inadvertently rolled through the stop at about 1 m.p.h. while trying to deal with my kids. I was going to visit my motor officer husband who was seriously injured by a truck, which did a left turn in front of him and impacted his motorcycle inflicting serious injuries upon him.” The judge apparently did not even listen to her and said “Guilty as charged. Pay the clerk $350.00!” She complained of hardship and the judge responded, “We can’t have people like you endangering others on our city streets.” In defense of Eloise: She was a bereaved wife coping with the near loss of husband, best friend and father. In his years of service with two police agencies, he served with merit, gallantry and valiantly. Though Eloise admitted the “offense”, there were certain mitigating factors: The anguish over her traffic officer’s serious on-duty injury; a stop sign on a lightly used T. intersection on a road with no traffic on it; lack of intent to purposely intrude beyond the sign; the lack of compassion or concern by an arrogant, badge-heavy officer who did not appreciate the near death of a fellow officer, and the lack of endangerment by the 1-2 m.p.h. right turn into the hospital parking lot and no interference with other vehicles and pedestrians. As to the fine? $350.00 is a lot of punishment for ANYONE at such a T. intersection. Review and appeal of the fine was not pursued because of the overwhelming and severe injuries and recuperation of Dewey. As to the officer: There was no patent law breaking; no one was threatened or endangered; this is a discretionary incident to cite or not to cite. Hey dude! Did you get a lot of satisfaction citing a beleaguered fellow officer’s wife ? “F” grade in commonsense 101! Let the punishment fit the “crime”! $350.00 is government abuse of drivers. It’s all about revenue, not traffic enforcement. God loves you too!

TM W hat an adventure these several months have been for the SSG. We have come to the point in our young formation that we had to evolve to meet the needs of all our families within the Riverside Sheriff’s Department. With the evolution came a new name and a new logo. We are the Spouses Support Group Serving Deputies of Riverside County. An important reminder, we don’t just serve deputies, we serve every sworn officer in the RSO. We have been busy making up for lost time by serving the deputies and families in this large department. The spouses on board have been nothing short of inspirational and incredible. From the delivery of treats to the station, the delivery of meals to families in need, to just being a sounding board of support and encouragement. We are very lucky to be growing! Here is an update of what the Leadership Team of the SSG has been doing in their areas: Yesenia Castelan / Lake Elsinore & Perris: Alongside the spouses, served the needs of the SSG members privately and through weekly contributions on our private group page. Kylleen Coogan / West: Delivered meals to 4 families, hosted a swim day, took treats into the RPDC and Jurupa, and represented the SSG at various law enforcement related events. Sandra Daugherty (Station Rep) took treats into dispatch for Dispatch Appreciation Week. She also, along with Kim Morales and Tawnia Tapia (Station Rep), contributed goodies to the Jurupa, Norco, and Moreno Valley stations. Pamela Johnson / Southwest: With the SW spouses, continue to spread good cheer, make connections, send treats to stations, meals to families, and support at various times throughout the months. Arranged several blood and bone marrow drives in recognition of all our deputies in need. Maritza San Nicolas / Central: Working together with the other spouses, helped with meals for 3 weeks to families in need, sent goodies to San Jacinto station, aided the San Jacinto station in organizing special events for a now retired Sergeant, sent goodies to Dispatch in Riverside during Dispatch Week, and she has hosted several girls night out events. In the desert, there is such a wonderful sense of family and community among the spouses that it clearly shines in our group page. They have sent in treats, provided amazing online support, and continue to offer help for anything that arises. And still there are many spouses that contribute privately that do not desire the recognition, we want to thank them for their tireless efforts. We know that without any one of our members, we would not be as successful as we are. We invite all the spouses of the Riverside Sheriff’s Department to join us as we create a culture of support and encouragement for each other and for all the families in this great Department. Please take a look at our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/SSG.RSO. Spouses are encouraged to message us to join the private group page or feel free to contact us at SSGservingRSO@gmail.com. The Spouses Support Group serves the families of Riverside Sheriff’s Department employees. Baking and delivering goodies is part of that support. Issue 8, 2014 Page 17 • All Points Bulletin BENEFITS CORNER A Few Thoughts For Filling New Prescriptions Chad Cihlar Brown Insurance Services A s we all age, new medical conditions and illnesses cause us to see our doctor. Quite often a drug is prescribed for an indefinite period of time. There are a number of questions that you can ask your doctor or pharmacist that will make the process easier to deal with. With thousands of medications on the market you may not know if the prescription is generic or name brand by the name alone. Generic drugs are not only less expensive, they can also be safer in nature because of the length of time it has been on the market. Brand name drugs may become generic after being on the market a certain number of years. If generic is available it may be best to try it out first to see if the problem can be solved with this medication. Remember to ask how long will it take to work and what signs will there be that show the medication is working. Some problems like high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol may not give you any clues as to whether the drugs are actually improving the problem. Asking about the side effects is equally important. Knowing what could go wrong and seeing a doctor immediately when the symptoms occur could save you a stay in the hospital. The side effects could be caused by other medications you are on or by certain foods or drinks. A busy doctor or pharmacist may forget to mention what to avoid. Never be embarrassed to ask questions; it’s your health you are protecting. In most cases, you should take the prescription to its entirety even if the illness has subsided. This is very common with antibiotics. Dosage, when to take it and how long you should be on the drug should be discussed with your doctor and will most often be printed on the prescription bottle. If the medication is going to be an ongoing situation setting it up through mail order can make it easier on your time and budget. I’d strongly recommend asking some of these questions while you are with your doctor. The more your doctor knows about you will make the visit much simpler for the both of you. Understanding the drugs prescribed and what to expect when you are on them could make your illness a much easier pill to swallow. SWDC Conquers The 2014 San Diego Century! O n Saturday May 31st, Southwest Detention Center staff Sergeant Dave Marshall, Correctional Sergeant John Watson , and Correctional Deputy Glenn Anderson completed the San Diego Century located in Encinitas, California. This 106 mile ride gave challenges to all who chooe to attempt it, with climbs such as the “Three Witches” and “Purple Monster.” Elevation gains of 7,300 ft. were reached. This was Team SWDC's second Century this year. Team SWDC finished strong with a time of 7 hours and 19 minutes moving time with an average speed of 15 mph. Each rider was challenged with the longest ride of their life. Page 18 • All Points Bulletin Team SWDC invites all to join their cycling team to maintain lifetime fitness. Team SWDC will compete next on October 11th at the Temecula Valley Century. Issue 8, 2014 MILITARY CORNER Benefits for Veterans, Reservists and Guardsmen By Robert Simmons Contributing Writer H opefully, by the time this article hits the presses, the new VA Bill presented by House Veterans’ Affairs Committee Chairman, Jeff Miller (R-FL) and Senate Veterans’ Committee Chairman, Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will be signed by President Obama. Congress passed H.R. 3230, 420 to 5, on Jul 30th and forwarded it to the Senate, under S. 2450, where it passed with a vote of 93-3 on July 31st and was sent to President Obama. As of this writing, he stated he would be signing the bill on August 7th. There are several keys factors of this bill, which is expected to add approximately $16.3 billion dollars to the current VA budget, important to veterans. One of the first items this bill addresses is the ability to fire or demote senior executives for poor performance and misconduct. According to the Washington Post, “Employees would have one week to appeal decisions, and the Merit Systems Protection Board would have to issue a ruling within three weeks, or else the agency’s decision would stand.” While there have been critics of this portion, the importance here is accountability. As we have seen in the media, many of the problems stem from senior leadership in VA hospitals requiring their employees to falsify records regarding timeliness of healthcare and appointments. This is outright fraud and should be dealt with seriously. The best part about this portion of the bill is the fact the cost is $0, which means it may actually SAVE money, instead of costing it. The second item is the introduction of the “Veterans Choice Card”. Under the bill, veterans would be provided a card that allows them to seek care from non-VA health-care providers if they have waited more than 30 days for an Issue 8, 2014 appointment, or if they live more than 40 miles from a VA medical center. This is important to veterans, like my father, who lives in New Mexico and is rated 100% disabled. Currently, he has to drive to Tucson, AZ to get treatment at the VA hospital after waiting several weeks for an appointment. Under the new bill, he could get treated at a local civilian hospital instead. This part of the bill is expected to cost an additional $10 billion. The third item is more funding to hire additional primary and specialty healthcare providers, as well as clinical staff, to increase availability and open more clinics. Approximately $5 billion is being added to the VA budget for this portion. An additional, $2 billion is also provided in the bill to assist with in-state tuition for certain post 9/11 veterans and surviving spouses, as well as enhanced care for veterans who were sexually assaulted while in the military and veterans who suffered traumatic brain injuries. I don’t agree throwing money at an issue is always the best answer to a problem; however, VA healthcare and services have been seriously underfunded for many decades and the new budget is an attempt to rectify the situation. Hopefully, things will improve soon with the recent Senate confirmation (a vote of 97-0) to appoint former Army Ranger (Hooah!) Robert McDonald the new VA Secretary. McDonald is also the former CEO of Procter & Gamble. While the results of this appointment are yet to be determined, I am happy to see a military veteran appointed to the post again.

Page 19 • All Points Bulletin STATE LEGISLATIVE CORNER RSA Legislative Corner By Tim Yaryan Legislative Counsel and Advocate B y the time you read this article, the Legislature will have returned from its Summer Recess and be in the final month of the 2013-2014 Legislative Session. Entering the home stretch, we have done very well. We have been very successful in defeating some very bad bills, as well as moving our legislative agenda forward. We have been collectively successful (with other labor groups) in keeping Mayor Chuck Reed’s draconian pension reform measure off the November Ballot. We were also very successful in getting a favorable public safety budget passed, ensuring full funding for key public safety programs. While much of the state funding has been directed to county realignment, city police departments managed to secure $40 million in “public grant” funding, an increase of $15 million from the prior budget. Although this funding is officially not part of realignment, it is intended to offset the adverse impact realignment has had on many urban cities. Recently, the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) issued a report on the impact realignment has had during the first year since passage of AB 109. The report adds credibility to concerns raised by many law enforcement groups that state corrections changes have increased local property crime. The report found “robust evidence” that having realignment offenders released on the street played a significant role in the 7.6 percent increase in statewide property crime from 2011 to 2012. Counties reported widely varying statistics. One of the lowest increases in property crime was Los Angeles County which reported only a 1.8% increase. Riverside County was nearly at the statewide average reporting a 7.7% increase in property crime. By far and away, the county with the largest increase was Santa Clara County with a whopping 20.4% increase in Page 20 • All Points Bulletin Entering the home stretch, we have done very well. We have been very successful in defeating some very bad bills, as well as moving our legislative agenda forward. property crime. It’s not a coincidence that Santa Clara County is leading the state in the increase of property crime. If you recall, San Jose has lost well over 400 experienced police officers since Reed’s Pension Reform Plan (local “Measure B”) went into effect. Sadly, the core of their police force went looking for jobs elsewhere, deciding that mortgaging their future financial security was not worth staying on the job in San Jose. With that in mind, it would not be surprising to see a future spike in crime in Los Angeles if the Union can’t get a contract with the City. The entry pay in L.A. is among the lowest of any major police force. Simply, if you can’ recruit or retain good officers, cities and counties will suffer an increase in crime as realignment takes full effect. With pressure on the state to release an additional 8,000 offenders due to pressure by the courts to achieve compliance with the 9th Circuit Appeals Court-ordered population cap, the increase in property crime will likely continue to increase. Understaffed and underpaid police, sheriffs, and probation departments will be unable to cope with the increase in crime, and we will see crime statistics increase much as we have already seen in Santa Clara County. Another factor which could impact the success of realignment and exacerbate an increase in crime at the local level is Proposition 47. Prop 47 will be on this November’s Ballot. Prop 47 is called the “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools” Act,” although it will likely fail to achieve neither safer neighborhoods nor safer streets. Essentially, Prop 47 proposes to reduce certain felonies and “wobblers” to outright misdemeanors. With the cost savings generated by reduced sentence requirements, Prop 47 empowers the Department of Finance to calculate the amount saved to the state’s General Fund and unilaterally allocate 2/3rds of it to the Board of State and Community Correction (BSCC) for grants to public agencies for mental health, substance abuse, or diversion programs; Issue 8, 2014 STATE LEGISLATIVE CORNER 25% to the Department of Education for The report adds credibility truancy, drop outs, and crime victims, and to concerns raised by many 10% to the Victims’ Compensation Board for victims’ service grants. However, what law enforcement groups that sounds like worthwhile goals masks the real problems with this initiative. Here is what state corrections changes Prop 47’s backers aren’t telling you: Prop 47 will virtually require the have increased local release of thousands of dangerous property crime. inmates.

Prop 47 would redefine Prop 47’s backers say judges will be able grand theft in such a way that theft of a to keep dangerous offenders from being firearm could only be considered a felony released early, this is simply not true. Prop if the value of the gun is greater than 47 prevents judges from blocking the early $950. Almost all handguns (which are the release of prisoners except in very rare most stolen kind of firearm) retail for well cases. For example, even if the judge finds below $950. People don’t steal guns just that the inmate poses a risk of committing so they can have a gun. They steal guns crimes like kidnapping, robbery, assault, to commit another crime. Persons stealing spousal abuse,6/13:Layout torture of small1 animals, SherriffAd 6/11/13 4:47 PM Page 1 guns are protected under Proposition 47. Proposition 47 undermines laws against date-rape. Proposition 47 will reduce the penalty for possession of drugs used exclusively to facilitate date-rape to a simple misdemeanor. No matter how many times the suspected sexual predator has been charged with possession of date-rape drugs, it will only be a misdemeanor, and the judge will be forced to sentence them as it were their very first time in court. California has plenty of laws and programs in place that already allow judges and prosecutors to keep first time, lowlevel offenders out of jail if it is appropriate under the circumstances. Prop 47 would strip judges and prosecutors of that discretion. When a career criminal is caught committing grand theft or a suspected sexual predator is caught in possession of date-rape drugs, or a carjacker steals yet another vehicle, there needs to be an option besides just another misdemeanor. In my next column, I will report on how the 2013-14 Session ended. Until next time, stay safe!

More than 57,000 Central American children traveling alone have crossed the border since last October. President Obama has requested $3.7 million, largely to pay for the care and legal review of the migrants. He also requested a change in the 2008 anti-trafficking law that bars expedited deportations for children from countries other than Mexico and Canada. House Republicans recently released recommendations to allocate no more than $1.5 billion though December on the border and to deploy the National Guard. House Republicans also want to change the 2008 law. The Senate bill proposes $2.7 billion and Senate Democrats appear unwilling to change the 2008 law.
