Murillo kicks offCity Council bidHopeful looks to knock

BY MICHAEL BOWKERDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT

Former journalist Cathy Murillo offi-cially launched her campaign for theSanta Barbara City Council Saturday,providing city voters with a familiarname, and a unique political platform.Murillo, who is backed by the Santa

Barbara County Democratic Party, saidSaturday that among her top three goalsas a city council member would be toopen the Eastside and Downtownbranches of the City Library onMondays, build better relationships withcity department heads and appoint moreLatinos to city and local boards. Murillowould be the first Latina ever elected tothe City Council.“It’s not the first thing I say about

myself, but being a Latina allows me tobe a role model for our youth,” she said.“I want to make Latinos feel connectedto City Hall.” Murillo, 50, said that the fact that her

father spent time in prison for dealingdrugs with a Los Angeles street gangprovides her with motivation. “I’m run-ning, in part, because I want to showthese kids that you can overcome themistakes of your parents, make some-thing of yourself and have a say in howthings are done in your city. I want themto see that if I can do it, they can do it.”About 80 supporters, including former

State Assembly member Hanna-BethJackson, gathered at the Mesa hilltophome of Van and Lois Hamilton onSaturday. “It is time for a City Council member

who comes from the working classneighborhoods,” Murillo told them. “Icare about renters – who make up 60 per-cent of our population. I care about ourimmigrant families, and our homelessneighbors. Most of all, I am steppingforward as an advocate for our youngpeople.” She also stressed that protecting the

environment is a critical part of her plat-form.Murillo, who has worked for the past

16 years as a reporter and columnist forlocal newspapers and radio stations, saidthe council’s key role is to determinehow to allocate money from the city’sgeneral fund. “You have so many com-

De la GuerraDo-Over

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT

Santa Barbara is planning a $2.2 millionpedestrian overhaul to De la Guerra Plaza.The Santa Barbara City Council is hearing an

update today about a six-year-old project toexpand the sidewalk area, redo the landscaping,and replace the aging palm trees in the grassyarea that’s been the focal point of Santa Barbaracelebrations and demonstrations for decades.City Housing and Redevelopment Manager

Brian Bosse said most of the improvements aremeant for everyday use.“What we’re looking at is making some

basic improvements in terms of functionalityfor pedestrians and people in a car,” Bossesaid.The sidewalk by the restaurants will be

extended by another 4.5 feet to make for awider passage. To avoid narrowing the road,the lawn will also be reduced in size. Thegrassy area would go from approximately17,000 square feet to 11,000 square feet.To strengthen the visual connection

between the plaza and Casa de la Guerraacross the street, the flag poles and stone mon-ument will be moved and the agapanthuscleared out. Crosswalks at the plaza entranceand exit would also be put in.Bosse noted that some changes are designed

to make the plaza friendlier towards eventslike Fiesta and Cinco de Mayo.

The lawn itself will be lowered to be flushwith the roadway and have removable bollardsreplace the curb.While this would make a smaller lawn, it

could still make for a larger plaza. When theroad closes for special events, the bollardscould be removed. This would allow the entire

The Santa Barbara City Council will hear proposed changes for De la Guerra plaza at its meeting today.DAILY SOUND / Victor Maccharoli

NEWS IN BRIEF

Pregnant woman killed by pit bullPreliminary autopsy results show that a pregnant San

Francisco-area woman who was killed by her pit bull died fromblood loss and shock, police said on Monday.An autopsy on 32-year-old Darla Napora, along with analy-

sis by dog bite experts, also concluded that only one of her twodogs, a 2-year-old male named Gunner, took part in lastThursday's fatal attack.Police say Napora's husband returned to the couple's home in

the Bay Area village of Pacifica about noon on Thursday to findhis pregnant wife's mauled body, with the bloodied pit bullstanding over her.First responders failed to revive Napora, who was suffering

from massive trauma to her upper body, police say, and she waspronounced dead at the scene, along with her unborn baby, Pacificapolice said. Gunner was shot and killed by officers in the front yardof the couple's home after he apparently got free from a back room,where Napora's husband had tried to confine him, police said.

Hackers protest peacefullyA few dozen protesters turned out on Monday for a San

Francisco rally organized by the hacker group Anonymous toprotest alleged police brutality and what they called anti-freespeech tactics by authorities.Bay Area Rapid Transit, the commuter train service in the

San Francisco area, shut down cell phone networks in some sta-tions on Thursday to stop a demonstration over the fatal shoot-ing of a man by police last month.The cell phone shut-down drew a new wave of criticism,

spurring the Monday rush hour action."This was a complete silencing of the people." said Carlos

Wilson, a 41-year-old gay rights activist who came to protestpolice brutality and the shut-down of the mobile phone networklast week.

It’s our moneySanta Barbara looks to protectitself from state takeaway

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT

Gearing up for a January rumble withthe state over the fate of the controversialredevelopment agencies, the SantaBarbara City Council is taking steps toprotect its RDA in the event of a loss.The council is set to authorize staff to

pay $7 million to keep the city’s RDAintact should a lawsuit filed by theLeague of California Cities fail in court.“We’re playing it safe in order to keep

all of our options open,” City Housingand Redevelopment Manager BrianBosse said.Santa Barbara has used

Redevelopment funds for projects likePaseo Nuevo and the waterfront harborarea.But opponents of RDAs have argued

that they take money set aside forschools, as money taken out of propertytaxes for RDA’s must be made up for bythe state.In June, the California Legislature

voted to scrap RDA’s to help deal withthe burgeoning state deficit. A provisionof the bill passed allowed cities to keeptheir agencies if they agreed to pay $1.7billion in the next fiscal year and $400million afterwards.Cities have called those payments

“ransom money” by the legislature.Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneidersaid it puts public agencies that should beworking together at odds.“Cities are being bullied into paying off

the state to keep a vibrant economic devel-opment engine alive,” Schneider said.Santa Barbara’s share of the $1.7 bil- Future redevelopment projects like Downtownʼs Paseo Nuevo mall are in Jeopardy due to the

Google makes bold bid for MotorolaSAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) —

Google Inc’s biggest deal ever, acquiringMotorola Mobility Holdings Inc for$12.5 billion, is an attempt to buy insur-ance against increasingly aggressivelegal attacks from rivals such as AppleInc.The acquisition of one of the mobile

telecommunications industry’s most sto-ried names is Google co-founder LarryPage’s boldest move since taking over asCEO in April, launching the Internetgiant into a lower-margin manufacturingbusiness and pitting it against many of

the 38 other handset companies that nowuse its Android software.Motorola Inc was split this year into

two: Motorola Mobility, which got thefaster-growing cellphone and TV set-topbox businesses; and Motorola Solutions,which sells gear like walkie-talkies tocorporate and government clients.Google is paying a massive 63 percent

premium to gain access to one of themobile phone industry’s largest patentlibraries. The company had been underpressure to build a patent portfolio afterlosing out to Apple, Microsoft Corp and

others in a recent auction of bankruptNortel’s assets.Unlike the Nortel deal and others, the

fact that Google avoided having to com-pete in an auction for Motorola byengaging in exclusive negotiations forthe company underscores the pressure itwas under to bolster its patent portfolio.Paying such a rich premium even thoughit was the only buyer dovetails with ana-lysts’ view that the increasingly litigiousposture its competitors have taken overintellectual property left the Internet

“Tía Isa Wants a Car” by Meg Medina, illus-trated by Claudio Muñoz; c.2011, CandlewickPress; $15.99 / $18.00 Canada; 32 pages

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYERTHE BOOKWORM SEZ

The other day, while you were playingoutside, you found something small onthe ground. It wasn’t much, just a penny.There’s not a lot you can do with a

penny anymore. It’s not enough to buycandy or gum and it takes bunches ofthem to buy a toy. Even more for a newvideo game.But your Abuelita always says you

should save your money for a rainy dayand since a penny is money, you put itaway. You’ve always wondered whatrain has to do with anything, but… oh,well.In the new book “Tía Isa Wants a Car”

by Meg Medina, illustrated by ClaudioMuñoz, a little girl learns that her pen-nies can take her anywhere, no matterwhat the weather.More than anything, Tía Isa wants a

car. She says so after work, when she gets

home from the bakery. It should be agreen car, the color of foamy water onthe beach. That color would remind TíaIsa of the ocean that lapped outside herbedroom window when she was a littlegirl. Maybe she should get a car withwings in the back, like sea gulls.Tía Isa wants a car, but Tío Andrés

laughs at her. The family’s not rich, hereminds her. Besides, she’s got more toworry about, like cooking dinner for him.Tía Isa tries to ignore him, but she knowsthat cars are expensive and that most ofher money must be sent back home toMami and Papi. But Tía Isa wants a car and her mind’s

made up. She speaks to the man whosells cars, but he tells her that she doesn’thave enough cash. She says they’ll havesome soon, but “soon” can take forever. Still, there are always other ways.

Señor Leo might have a few odd jobshe’d pay to finish. La vieja Maria mightneed someone to help feed her win-dowsill cats. Miss Amy at la biblioteca

has been asking for español lessons. Tía Isa wants a car, but she’s getting

sad. Why does saving money take solong? Will she ever have enough tovamos on her own four wheels? She might – with just a little help.Like most of us, kids enjoy getting

new possessions. And like many of us,they have a hard time saving up for a bigwant. What they’ll see in this book justmight inspire them, though.“Tía Isa Wants a Car” tells the cute

story of doing something difficult to ful-

fill a dream, even though it takes a longtime. I loved the way author Meg Medinagives her little heroine a can-do attitudein helping her Tía, along with the satis-faction of seeing her efforts make a dif-ference. The illustrations by ClaudioMuñoz are wonderfully expressive, fur-ther allowing the love between Tía andsobrina shine through. Little spendthrifts ages 3 to 7 will

want to save time to hear this story readaloud. For them, “Tía Isa Wants a Car” isa good book, rain or shine.

A penny saved is a penny earned

Buffett’s call for higher taxes strikes nerveNEW YORK (Reuters) — Warren

Buffett has touched a national nerve.The 80-year-old “Oracle of Omaha,”

one of the world's three richest men, hastaken to the pages of the New YorkTimes to call for higher taxes — yes,higher taxes — for himself and his well-off peers.“My friends and I have been coddled

long enough by a billionaire-friendlyCongress. It's time for our government toget serious about shared sacrifice,” hesaid.Buffett calling for a higher tax burden

for the wealthy is nothing new; lastNovember, in a lengthy sit-down inter-view with ABC News, he insisted thatthe wealthy “have it better than we've

ever had it” and that they had an obliga-tion to pay substantially more tax.However, the timing of his latest

appeal made people take notice.Washington lawmakers are fightingabout how to reduce the nation's budgetdeficit and curb its massive debt burden,and the question of “added revenue” —

peting needs for limited funds, you have to make tough deci-sions,” she said. “My priorities are on children, parks andlibraries. Of course, we have to support our fire and policedepartments…I want a police force that focuses on communityand restorative policing.”She also said she would work to encourage tourism, which

she called “critical” to the city’s economy, and seek “humanesolutions to the problems of the homeless.” She pointed out thatas a journalist, she once went undercover as a homeless personand spent a night in a homeless shelter. “I came away with a deeper understanding of the complex

issues involved,” she said. She is also a strong advocate forlower-cost housing in the city.Murillo’s candidacy may provide a litmus test for Santa

Barbara voters. Her platform stands in stark contrast to the con-servative values now represented by at least three incumbentcouncilmembers, Dale Francisco, Michael Self and RandyRowse.“The conservatives are completely out of touch with the peo-

ple of Santa Barbara,” she said. When asked whether voterswill support her spending priorities and views on the policedepartment and Latino appointments, Murillo smiled and said,“I think they will, but I guess we’ll find out at election time.”If campaign contributions are any measure, Murillo has rea-

son to smile. So far she leads all candidates with contributionsof more than $24,000. Trailing her was Deborah Schwartz, with$20,500. Murillo, Schwartz and a third candidate, Iya Falcone,were selected by the Democratic Party in an effort to unseat thethree conservative incumbents. Murillo and her husband, DavidPritchett, contributed a total of $10,000 to her campaign. Many feel that Murillo’s accessible and friendly style may be

as responsible for her early popularity as her political platform. Murillo said her decision to run did not come easily. “You have to give up your career in journalism when you run

for office,” she said. “But, I think working for so long in jour-nalism helped me learn how to listen to people and evaluatewhat they say objectively. I also am well aware of all the issuessince I’ve covered them for so long. I think it is an awesomepackage for a journalist to become a public servant.” Murillo trains UCSB students as the current news and public

affairs director for KCSB-FM radio in Santa Barbara and sheworks as a video producer for Santa Barbara Channels commu-nity access TV. She also worked as a news editor and reporterfor the Santa Barbara Independent and the Ventura County Star.She has a degree in dramatic arts from UCSB.

OFF TOPIC: Jalama Beach, the jewel ofthe Santa Barbara County park system, andthe last local beach camping spot that doesnot require a reservation, plans to end theirfirst-come-first-serve system for campers thathas been in place for decades. No official date

has been set for when the new system goes into effect though I hear that it will likely be in2012.For many residents of Santa Barbara

County this will be sad news because localshave one big advantage under the current sys-tem: proximity. If you show up very earlymorning at Jalama Beach you are likely to geta spot the same day. During the busiest weeksyou can show up one day in advance, putyour name on the list for the next day, then gohome to start packing your camping gear. Consequently under the first-come-first-

serve system it is much harder to get a camp-ing spot if you live hundreds of miles away.Another advantage of the current system:once you get a spot you can keep your campsite for up to 14 days, deciding one day at atime how long you want to stay.Under the proposed new reservation sys-

tem, if residents of Santa Barbara Countysuddenly decide they want to “rough it” atJalama Beach that weekend, they will likelydiscover that their favorite camping spot wasbooked months in advance by campers fromLos Angeles.As you can tell I’m not particularly happy

with the proposed changes. My parents, onthe other hand, are thrilled. They are frequentcampers and tell me that they can never get aspot because the popular beach getaway isalways full They are used to making reserva-tions for other local campgrounds and wel-come the opportunity to do so at Jalama.

search giant with no choice but to pay up.“No matter how you think about this, you

have to look at it through the spectrum of theAndroid ecosystem under incredible attackfrom an IP (intellectual property) perspective.And this is Google going out and trying to fixthat,” said W.P. Stewart Advisors ChiefInvestment Officer Jim Tierney. “The biggestimplication here is that Google wants Androidto be one of the dominant phone operating sys-tems for years to come.”Wall Street quickly anointed Microsoft a

winner in this deal, with Windows benefitingshould the move spur current Android partnersto explore other options.The deal also stoked speculation that strug-

gling Nokia and Research in Motion wouldbecome takeover targets themselves, sendingNokia’s shares up 17.35 percent and RIM’s up10.3 percent.Google made its first foray into hardware

by co-developing the Nexus One phone withHTC in 2010 — an effort that met mixedresults. Monday’s deal, however, could markthe start of a shift to an Apple-style model,integrating mobile hardware with underlyingsoftware.“Google decided to cross the Rubicon on

the device side,” said Fred Huet, head of tele-coms and media consultancy GreenwichConsulting. “There has been growing frustra-tion (at Google) about the lack and speed ofinternet centric devices.

“With Nexus they tried to show the industrywhat they thought was the right evolution forhandsets and it did not have an impact .... Withthe patents they make sure that Android staysstrong.”

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE ...The acquisition is likely to draw even clos-

er regulatory scrutiny than usual, with thesearch leader already the subject of antitrustinquiries. Experts will want to review how itaffects mobile industry competition.But the deal -- which took Wall Street by

surprise -- appears to mark a shift in strategyfrom Google’s traditional Internet search andadvertising empire and forays into video andsocial networking.“The danger is that other handset makers

feel disenfranchised,” said Nomura Securitiesglobal technology specialist Richard Windsor.“Motorola is the weaker player. This couldactually collapse the entire community.”Page, who also launched the ambitious

Google+ social network since taking over asCEO, reassured investors on Monday thiswould not happen, saying Motorola will be runas a separate company licensing Android soft-ware in the same way as rivals like HTC Corpand LG Electronics.Phone makers including Samsung officially

said they welcomed a deal that will aid theirown legal battles, but some analysts ques-tioned the sincerity of those claims, noting thatrival companies would now be unlikely toheavily promote Android since it would bene-fit a direct competitor.

lion money amounts to $7 million this yearand $1.7 million each year afterward, until $14million has been paid off.The payment is due in two parts, the first in

January of 2012 and the second in May of2012.While the city is preparing to abide by the

state’s terms, it doesn’t mean it’s going to giveup the money without big fight.In July, the city joined with the League of

California Cities in filing a lawsuit allegingthat the Legislature’s actions violatedProposition 22, which bans the state from tak-ing local tax revenues.The California Supreme Court has agreed to

hear the League’s lawsuit in January. Today’sresolutions will authorize payment if the law-suit fails.But Bosse said the resolution also

includes language that the city is payingunder protest.“Part of the legislation said that you’re in or

you’re out,” Bosse said. “So we’re saying,‘Ok, we’re in and we’ll pay your ransom.’”By noting the protest, if the lawsuit pre-

vails, the cities wouldn’t have to hand overany money. And by passing the ordinances under

protest, the city could recoup any moneyalready paid with interest added in.The tentative payment plan outlined by the

staff report is to pay the money through taxincrement revenue,reprogramming moneypulled from existing capital improvementprojects, and funds set aside for housing—allowed by a special provision.California cities have been angered by the

California government’s decision to scuttleRedevelopment Agencies. Cities argue thatthey need the funds to finance affordable hous-ing and community improvement projects.

code for higher taxes — looms larger than anyother. Republicans have fiercely resisted anyattempts by President Barack Obama andDemocrats in Congress to make higher taxesfor the wealthy part of any budget plan, insist-ing instead on all the deficit-curbing measuresbe made through spending cuts.Taxation will be a major theme of the 2012

presidential election, and Buffett planted him-

self squarely in the middle of the debate.“While the poor and middle class fight for

us in Afghanistan, and while most Americansstruggle to make ends meet, we mega-richcontinue to get our extraordinary tax breaks,”he wrote.Buffett is not alone in agitating for change.Starbucks Corp Chief Executive Howard

Schultz is brewing up support for his call towithhold political contributions to U.S. law-makers until they strike a “fair, bipartisan”deal on the country's debt, revenue and spend-

ing. In his Times piece, Buffett felt free tospeak for his fellow rich.“Most wouldn't mind being told to pay

more in taxes as well, particularly when somany of their fellow citizens are truly suffer-ing,” he said. While there are plenty of “super-rich” who have been outspoken on tax issuesin past, like Carlyle Group co-founder DavidRubenstein and Congressman Darrell Issa,only one of the country's notably wealthy peo-ple who was contacted by Reuters was imme-diately willing to respond to Buffett's call.

“George Soros says he agrees and congratu-lates Warren Buffett,” his spokesman said.“The rich are hurting their own long term inter-ests by their opposition to paying more taxes.”From the general taxpaying public, the

reaction was almost instantaneous. “WarrenBuffett” was one of the single most mentionedtopics on Twitter as of Monday afternoon, aswas the title of his op-ed piece, “StopCoddling the Super-Rich.” Nearly 55,000 peo-ple voted in an MSNBC.com poll on his com-ments, and 95 percent agreed with him.

area from the city hall curb to the back ofState Street to be used as one area.This would also allow room for emer-

gency vehicles to operate.The changes will make room to move

the tented electrical panel in the middleof the plaza to be moved to a more con-venient location.Bosse said the current location leads to a

mess of electrical cords whenever an eventsuch as Cinco de Mayo or Fiesta is put on.

The project has gone through severalchanges over the years after advice fromlocals, businesses and the downtownorganizations.Council member Harwood “Bendy”

White said additional public input willbe the most critical part about today’spresentation.“We really need civic buy-in on this

and that’s what I’m going to be lookingfor tomorrow,” White said.Parking could be a sticking point. Five

parking spaces inside the plaza will beeliminated by the changes. However, the

redesign does create one additional spaceon De la Guerra Street.Money for the project has been set

aside from a tax allocation bond.White said that the volatility of rede-

velop funds means keeping the projectmoving is important.“We’re always going to be looking

over our shoulders to see if the money isthere or not,” White said.Estimates put construction time at

around four months but the project stillhas to pass several more commissionsbefore getting the go ahead.

How low can they go?NEW YORK (Reuters) — Mark Sass

and his wife Jan decided to refinance themortgage on their Cincinnati, Ohio, homeon Friday, just days before the FederalReserve pledged to keep rates near historiclows through the first half of 2013."I knew the Fed statement was coming

out and rates had dropped to historicallylow levels, and it just seemed like anopportune time. I hadn't even thoughtabout it until then," says Sass, who ownshis own marketing research company.Their original mortgage had a 20-year

amortization period - at a 4.875 percentrate - with 12 years remaining. They arerolling it over into a 10-year mortgagewith a 3.5 percent rate. "I was able toknock a couple of years off the term with avery modest increase in the monthly pay-ment," Sass says. "It seemed like a no-brainer to me."Sass and his wife are both 55, so retire-

ment is on the horizon. "The opportunityto look 10 years out and know that - unlessthings change - we won't have a mortgagewhen we retire looked like a smart deci-sion," Sass says, adding the overall sav-ings on interest by reducing his term willbe in the neighborhood of $20,000.Sass is one of many jumping on the

refinance bandwagon in the wake of thecurrent financial crisis. Mortgage applica-tions shot up 21.7 percent for the weekending August5, according to theMortgage Bankers Association MarketComposite Index. The spike was largelydriven by a 30.4 percent jump in thegroup's refinancing index."In a few years, these rates will be a

memory that people talk about at cocktail

parties. Just like when our parents talkedabout how low interest rates were whenthey bought their homes," says Dan Nigro,principal at Warfield Consultants inMontclair, New Jersey. "These are the kindof levels that people should lock in for thelong term and it certainly is what the gov-ernment has in mind."But the question remains: With the

average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgagehovering just below 4.5 percent - the low-est levels for 2011 according toLendingTree.com - should consumersjump to refinance or buy a new home? Orshould they wait for a new bottom?Now is the time to act, says Alex

Stenback, who writes at the blog "Behindthe Mortgage" and is a mortgage bankerwith Residential Mortgage Group, a divi-sion of Alerus Financial. "Don't get lulledinto a sense of complacency over what theFed says about interest rates. They canmove up, and this window can shut muchfaster than people imagine," he cautions.Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at

Bankrate.com, agrees. Since Standard &Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit ratingfrom AAA to AA on August 5, Treasuryyields have fallen. "But mortgage ratesaren't going down at the same pace,"McBride says. Mortgage rates tend to mirrorlong-term U.S. Treasury rates, which havedeclined in recent weeks. The benchmark10-year Treasury note hovered around 2.12percent late Wednesday and set a record lowauction yield of 2.14 percent the same day.If you're convinced now is a good time to

refinance your existing mortgage, or buy anew home, here are some ways that tradi-tional advice is playing out in today's market:

1. Shop around for your lenderCast a wide net when looking for a

lender. Do your research and look foralternatives. Check with your local creditunion to see if you're eligible for a mem-bership rather than getting lured by majorinstitutions advertising low rates. TheInternet offers an array of sites devised tohelp you find the best lender and rate foryou. Bankrate.com's refinance section is agreat place to start.

2. Do your research on costsWill the costs associated with refinanc-

ing justify the reduced monthly payment?The typical rule-of-thumb is a homeownershould refinance if they can save a full per-centage point on their rate.

3. Request a copy of your creditreportWhile there may be an incredible incen-

tive to refinance due to low rates, be sureyour credit history is in order beforeapproaching a lender.To lock in the lowest rates, con-

sumers will need a FICO score of atleast 760 to even be a contender for refi-nancing, Nigro says. "These are verytight credit underwriting regulations andwhen you combine that with the factthat 25 percent of Americans have aloan-to-value that exceeds 125 percentof the value of their home, it means thata large amount of people are eligible torefinance but less than 20 percent of allof those who have the rate incentive canrefinance because of their credit scoreand/or the equity they have in theirhome."
