Blueberry board more pressing than state budget? | MyDesert.com | The Desert Sun: "As California faces what one official this week called a complete meltdown of state government, some lawmakers have their minds on other matters.
Like creating a blueberry commission. Or standing up for pomegranate juice. And, instead of health reform in the nation's most populous state, ensuring that the name tags of medical workers are in 18-point font.
Those are among the hundreds of bills being debated in the California Legislature as the state faces a $24.3 billion deficit and the prospect of running out of cash by late July...
[other bills would:]
Ensure that juice sold as “pomegranate” is 100 percent pomegranate.
Instruct ninth- and 10th-graders about the value of organ donation.
Ban toy cigarette lighters.
Require day cares to serve only healthy food to children."
