Hart joins Assembly race

Supreme Court blocks vaccine mandate Justices vote 6-3 against requirement for private sector businesses but upholds separate mandate for healthcare workers

By DAN MCCALEB and CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate on private sector businesses, though it allowed a separate mandate to stand for certain health care workers. The private sector ruling came on a 6-3 vote, with the court’s three liberal justices all siding with the Biden administration’s argument that the mandates are legal, and its majority conservative wing saying only Congress has the authority to give the Occupational Safety and Health Administration the power

to implement such a widespread federal mandate. “The question before us is not how to respond to the pandemic, but who holds the power to do so. The answer is clear: Under the law as it stands today, that power rests with the States and Congress, not OSHA,” justices wrote in the majority opinion. OSHA implemented the private sector mandate, which was set to affect 84 million workers across the country. If the Supreme Court upheld the mandate, businesses with 100 or more employees would have been required to check the vaccine status of all of their workers. Those who were not fully vaccinated would have faced weekly COVID-19 tests. Companies who violated the

mandate faced stiff fines. In December, the U.S. Senate voted to rescind President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate, with two Democrats joining all Republicans in the vote. The U.S. House has not taken a vote on the matter. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who led 27 states in their lawsuit against the Biden administration, celebrated the ruling. “Americans have lost too much to this disease already — all of us want this pandemic to end — but it is critical that we do not lose our Constitution, too,” Mr. Yost said. “Today’s ruling protects our individual rights and states’ rights to pursue the solutions that work best for their citizens.” The court heard oral

arguments Jan. 7 from administration attorneys and lawyers representing states and individuals challenging the constitutional authority of the president to issue such mandates. “Today’s ruling represents a monumental victory for all Americans, and a reminder that the Biden administration and the federal government cannot rule by executive fiat,” said Patrick Hughes, president and co-founder of the Liberty Justice Center. “The Supreme Court saw this mandate for what it really is: an attempt to bypass Congress and the will of the American people.” Liberty Justice Center and the New Orleans-based Pelican Please see MANDATES on A2

Real estate company says now is a good time for sellers and buyers of hotels

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

When Gregg Hart saw the new census open up a seat on the California State Assembly in his district, he was intrigued — enough that he’d leave his spot on the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Hart, running in the 37th Assembly District race as a Democrat, told the NewsPress the decision to run has been one of the hardest he’s made. “I’ve been working through the decision-making process because I really enjoy working for the community as a supervisor,” he said Thursday, getting sentimental about the “great individuals” he works with in the role. Sitting prominently behind lacquered desks, the supervisors have defended county health officials from brazen comments and watched Fourth District Supervisor Bob Nelson get emotional while he turned the chair position over to Third District Supervisor Joan Hartmann. Mr. Hart said he loves that

The new owner of Hotel Indigo plans to continue to operate it as an independent or branded hotel.

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Hotel Indigo, a boutique hotel on the Santa Barbara beachfront, recently sold for more than $19 million. The Funk Zone hotel was brought on the market in late 2021 by Austin Herlihy and Chris Parker of Radius Commercial Real Estate. The hotel, which is at 121 State St., was listed at $19,350,000. The business has 41 rooms, so its sale price works out to almost $472,000 per key.

According to Radius Commercial Real Estate, the listing generated 11 offers and closed in only 45 days, about half the time of the standard 90-day closing period for hotels. The buyer is an investor who plans to continue to operate Hotel Indigo as an independent or branded hotel. The franchise agreement of the partnership that owned the hotel Indigo was coming upon its expiration date, and the partnership decided that it was a good time to sell. The managing partners of

the partnership are Laurie and Mark Recordon. The hotel was originally purchased by the partnership in 2010 out of foreclosure and was previously a youth hostel. “I think as we continue to experience a resurgence in South Coast tourism following a rough 18-plus months due to the pandemic, we’re going to see more and more activity and interest in local hotel assets,” Mr. Parker, broker for Radius Commercial Real Estate, said in a news release. One of the special features of

Hotel Indigo is its beachfront location. “I think it is safe to say it increases the value. If you are a tourist, being close to the beach, the pier and the Funk Zone, makes it a much more attractive location.,” Mr. Parker told the News-Press Thursday. Mr. Herlihy, executive vice president of Radius Commercial Real Estate, also talked with the News-Press about the hotel’s unique location. “The Funk Zone is a coastal Please see INDIGO on A2

role. He was particularly proud when the county helped environmentalists purchase San Marcos Preserve in the foothills of Santa Barbara. His zeal for nature led to the creation of Measure B during his time on Santa Barbara City Council — a 2% bed tax that is dedicated to the Creeks Restoration and Water Quality Improvement Program. He continues to keep climate change in mind as he crafts policy, and sustainability is part of his platform. His other priorities include: increasing educational opportunities, reducing homelessness and preparing for emergencies. “All the issues that I’m working very hard to address in Santa Barbara County have a parallel in Sacramento,” Mr. Hart said. Supervisor Hart’s political career began almost 40 years ago, when he was a student at UCSB. He met Jack O’Connell, an educator turned assemblyman, and later served as his legislative assistant. “He was a tremendous mentor, still is,” Mr. Hart said. “He was Please see HART on A2

A 45-year-old man died early Wednesday morning at the Santa Barbara County Main Jail shortly after deputies deemed the inmate a danger to himself. Jonathan Paul Thomas was booked at approximately 1:32 a.m. and was declared dead 31 minutes later at the Santa Barbara jail. Mr. Thomas was locked in a single-occupant safety cell after deputies heard him make troubling comments. The deputies removed his clothing, placed him face down on the

floor and removed his handcuffs before exiting, according to a news release from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. Soon after, deputies noted that Mr. Thomas was not moving. They began lifesaving measures and called for backup. Wellpath (a for-profit jail medical care company), the County Fire Department and American Medical Response tried to save Mr. Thomas’s life but were unsuccessful.

10 more COVID-19 cases at Main Jail

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara County Main Jail has reported 10 additional COVID-19 cases related to the Dec. 8, 2021, outbreak. Since Monday, 10 inmates have recovered. The outbreak at the Santa Barbara jail has had a total of 218 cases, with 68 active, 146 recovered and four released. All inmates who test positive are closely monitored by custody staff and Wellpath partners, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. One inmate has currently been admitted to an area hospital for advanced care. A reported 39 inmates are symptomatic, and 178 are asymptomatic. One

inmate declined to answer questions about symptoms. COVID-19 positive inmates are moved to an area of the facility with negative pressure cells, according to a news release. The rest are placed together in small groups and isolated from other inmates. Those who were exposed but not tested positive have also been separated. Inmates with severe symptoms or underlying health conditions are transported to a hospital for evaluation and treatment. The sheriff’s office continues to offer all three of the COVID-19 vaccines to all inmates. — Katherine Zehnder

Santa Maria school district refinances part of its bonds By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District says it can save taxpayers more than $6.3 million through lower property taxes. The district explains that can happen because the district completed refinancing part of its general obligation bonds. The refinancing was approved unanimously by the district board during its meeting Wednesday. In a news release Thursday, the district compared the transaction to being “like a homeowner refinancing a mortgage by taking advantage of prevailing low interest rates and lowering their payments. The refinancing will save taxpayers over $6.3 million by lowering property taxes. “These savings come at a time when the community is coping with the economic impacts of COVID and relieves some of the tax burden on property owners in the district,” according to the news release. The district’s Board of Trustees directed its staff and financial adviser, CFW Advisory Services, to proceed with the refinancing

at its Nov. 9 meeting. District staff then interviewed with the Moody’s rating agency and were able to secure a credit rating upgrade to “Aa2,” based on the board’s fiscal management and the economic strength and stability of the Santa Maria area. The high credit rating led to the bond sale being well-received by investors, according to the school district, which explained the demand exceeded the amount of available bonds. The district was able to lock in its interest rate at 2.64%, which the news release described as a “near historic low for this type of bond.” “We greatly value the support our schools receive from our community, and we are happy that this refinancing will save our local taxpayers more than $6 million,” said Yolanda Ortiz, the district’s assistant superintendent of business services. The district also sold an additional $67 million in bonds at an interest rate of less than 2.5% to complete the reconstruction of Santa Maria High School. The money also is funding other projects to improve facilities. email: dmason@newspress.com

TRIBUTE

Ronnie Spector elevated rock with strong melodies By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Ronnie Spector poured emotion into her music, making each note and word urgent and her melodies unforgettable. In the 1960s, Ms. Spector led the all-female Ronettes, whose passion inspired the world of women’s rock. The Ronettes was a New York City group known for hits such as “Be My Baby,” “Is This What I Get for Loving You?” and “Walking in the Rain.” A couple decades later, Ms. Spector was still making her voice heard in songs such as her duet with Eddie Money, “Take Me Home Tonight.” It was written by Mr. Money, the police trainee-turned singer. But arguably, Ms. Spector’s voice is what makes the song memorable, with her accented high notes that stood like exclamation points. When Ms. Spector sang, people paid attention. She has left the world her legacy of timeless music. She died Wednesday from cancer at age 78. Ms. Spector — Veronica Greenfield — was born Aug. 10, 1943, in East Harlem in New York City. She formed the Ronettes in 1959 with her older sister, Estelle Bennett, and their cousin, Nedra Talley. The Ronettes impressed fans with their energetic hits, and they were popular enough to tour with The Beatles in 1965 in the U.S. The

Ronettes continued to perform and record, but after a tour in Europe, they broke up in 1967. Phli Spector, the producer known for his “wall of sound” (which was heard on The Beatles’ “Let It Be” album), produced most of Ronettes’ recordings, and Miss Greenfield married him in 1968. They separated in 1972, and she kept “Ronnie Spector” as her professional name. (In 2009, Mr. Spector was convicted of the 2003 murder of Hollywood actress Lana Clarkson, and he died Jan. 16, 2021, in a California prison.) The Ronettes were re-created by Ms. Spector in 1973 with new members Chip Fields Hurd and Diane Linton, but the band didn’t top the charts, and Ms. Spector resumed her solo career. She married her manager, Jonathan Greenfield, in 1982, and they resided in Danbury, Conn., with their two sons. In 1986, Ms. Spector got listeners’ attention again in her duet with Mr. Money, “Take Me Home Tonight.” At one point, the song referred to lyrics from a Ronettes hit. Mr. Money sang, “Just like Ronnie sang,” and Ms. Spector replied: “Be my little baby.” Then came her trademark accented notes, with passion in each pitch. Ms. Spector continued to perform well into her final decades, and the Ronettes were inducted in 2007 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. email: dmason@newspress.com

(The Center Square) — Gov. Gavin Newsom reiterated a commitment to supporting the development of high-speed rail projects on Thursday, highlighting a $9.1 billion transit package to support transportation projects statewide. The governor presented his $286.4 billion budget proposal on Monday. The spending plan includes billions for transportation projects across the state. The proposed $9.1 billion plan would spend on projects over two years in line with the state’s climate, public health, equity and connectivity goals, according to the governor’s proposal. The package earmarks $4.2 billion to complete the construction of electrified highspeed rail in the Central Valley and “perform advance work for service between Merced and Bakersfield.” In addition, the governor proposed $3.25 billion for local, regional and statewide rail construction, including a focus on increasing mobility and reducing pollution. Speaking from a station in Santa Clara County, Gov. Newsom said Thursday that this year’s transportation budget is “framed in the context of our climate agenda.” The governor noted

Sinema stands up to Biden on axing filibuster THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — The same week that President Joe Biden called for “getting rid of” the filibuster to push through Democrats’ agenda on federalizing elections, U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., doubled down on her opposition to ousting the longestablished Senate rule. Despite Democratic leadership’s push to alter the filibuster to pass legislation for a federal takeover of state elections, a bipartisan majority has remained in opposition. Sen. Sinema doubled down in that opposition Thursday, casting serious doubts on any changes to Senate rules. “There’s no need for me to restate my long-standing support for the 60vote threshold to pass legislation,” Sen. Sinema said from the Senate floor Thursday. “There’s no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy. This week’s harried discussions about Senate rules are but a poor substitute for what I believe could have and should have been a thoughtful public debate at any time over the past year.”

Sen. Sinema went on to argue that removing the filibuster would only add to the nation’s division, not unity. “But what is the legislative filibuster, other than a tool that requires new federal policy to be broadly supported by senators, representing the broader crosssection of Americans,” Sen. Sinema said. “Demands to eliminate this threshold from whichever party holds the fleeting majority amount to a group of people separated on two sides of a canyon, shouting that solution to their colleagues.” U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., has also expressed reservations about nixing the filibuster. Politico reports that multiple other Democratic senators, including Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., are on the fence as well. Their opposition makes changing the Senate rules, or passing the Democrats’ federal voting bill, unlikely. “We need some good rules changes to make the place work better,” Sen. Manchin told reporters this week. “But getting rid of the filibuster doesn’t make it work better.” Sen. Sinema quietly pushed back against Mr. Biden’s “Build

Back Better” legislation last year, but Thursday’s floor speech was a public rebuttal of the president’s call to action earlier this week. President Biden delivered a blistering speech in Atlanta Tuesday where he accused opponents of Democrats’ voting legislation of racism, opposing Democracy and wanting “chaos to reign.” He advocated for “getting rid of” the filibuster to push through federal voting laws that would give the federal government sweeping control of state elections. President Biden argued that Republican state legislatures’ legislative efforts in recent years to shore up election integrity were actually attempts at voter suppression. Democratic Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer has made similar comments and called for changing the filibuster rules. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell responded to those comments, calling them “profoundly unpresidential.” “The president repeatedly invoked the Jan. 6 riot while himself using irresponsible, delegitimizing rhetoric that undermines our democracy,” McConnell said. “The sitting

president of the United States of America compared American states to ‘totalitarian states.’” A key line of attack against the Democratic effort to end the filibuster has been their previous positions on the issue. Both President Biden and Sen. Schumer have publicly supported the filibuster in the past. U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., lambasted Sen. Schumer for just that in a speech from the Senate floor, repeating Sen. Schumer’s previous comments that removing the filibuster would make the Senate “the rubber stamp of dictatorship.” “The bottom line is very simple: the ideologues in the Senate want to turn what the Founding Fathers called the cooling saucer of democracy into the rubber stamp of dictatorship,” Sen. Cotton said, reiterating SSen. chumer’s past comments. “They want to make this country into a banana republic where if you don’t get your way, you change the rules! Are we going to let them? It will be a doomsday for democracy if we do.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

State gives SB County nearly $10 million to help the homeless By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County will receive almost $10 million from the state to address homelessness. The California Department of Housing and Community Development on Thursday announced the county will get two awards. The first award is the Homekey Round 2 of $6.9 million awarded in partnership with the Good Samaritan Shelter. State HCD Director Gustavo Velasquez said Santa Barbara County and other recipients “really showcase the essence of

Homekey — projects that serve homeless youth, from a housing project near a major university to a motel conversion with a whole suite of supportive services to get people back on their feet, housing to give folks a fresh start.” Homekey is a California program that assists people experiencing or at risk of homelessness by purchasing and rehabilitating housing, which includes hotels, motels, vacant apartment buildings and other properties and converts them into permanent long-term housing. “We are ecstatic to learn that the soon-to-be-named housing

project in Isla Vista has been awarded almost $7 million in a Homekey grant,” said 3rd District Supervisor Joan Hartman. “This project demonstrates that, with the right kinds of support, people who have lived unsheltered for years can indeed get stabilized and turn their lives around. “It is an incredibly rewarding effort to be part of, requiring the coordinated work of so many different county and community partners,” she said in a news release. “We are tremendously gratified by this stellar result,” The county was also awarded $2.734 million from Emergency Solutions Grants Coronavirus. The county previously received

an ESG-CV award of $7 million in 2021 for use in the Santa Maria/ Santa Barbara County Continuum of Care service area for emergency sheltering, outreach and rapid re-housing. Emergency Solutions Grant Coronavirus Program was funded as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and Economic Stimulus Act. The CARES funds are meant to help prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus by assisting with housing among individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness.

that, while 40% of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions come from tailpipes, “if you add up extraction for vehicles, it’s north of 50% of all our greenhouse gas emissions come from the transportation sector.” “If you’re going to get serious about decarbonizing and radically changing the way we produce and consume energy and advancing our goals … you can’t do it without radically transforming your transportation sector,” he said, noting his September 2020 order requiring new passenger vehicle sales be zero-emission by 2035. Gov. Newsom’s budget proposal includes $6.1 billion over five years to expand infrastructure and zero-emission vehicle access. The package includes $1.5 billion for school transportation programs and electric school buses, $1.1 billion for zeroemissions trucks, buses and offroad equipment, and $900 million to advance zero-emission vehicle infrastructure access in lowincome areas. The spending comes after $3.9 billion allocated in the 2021 Budget Act to accelerate the development of zero-emission infrastructure and passenger vehicles, bringing that state’s total investment to $10 billion over six years to decarbonize the transportation sector.

Winter 2022 movies preview

Everyone from ‘Batman’ to detective Hercule Poirot to couples in trouble are on the big screen By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

t’s time to reboot the “Batman” franchise again. At least, Warner Bros. thinks so, and the latest actor to wear the cowl is Robert Pattinson of the “Twilight” movies. He stars in “The Batman,” featuring the Riddler, the Penguin and Catwoman. “The Batman” is among the films in theaters during winter 2022. Other highlights include Kenneth Branagh returning in another Agathie Christie classic, “Death on the Nile,” and Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson teaming up in “Marry Me.” And Tom Holland of “Spider-Man” fame is back in action as a different character in “Uncharted.” Here’s the release schedule through March 4.

Today

• “Scream.” Yet another film in the never-ending franchise, which started in 1996. The latest story follows Sidney Prescott (longtime franchise star Neve Campbell), who returns to her hometown to find out who’s been committing horrible crimes. The film, which is the fifth “Scream” movie, is directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin. • “Belle.” Mamoru Hosada directs this anime movie about a shy girl in a rural village. When she steps into a virtual world, she becomes a popular singer. • “Italian Studies.” Vanessa

Kirby stars as a writer with memory issues in New York City, where she has real and imagined conversations with teenagers. The director is Adam Leon.

Jan. 21.

• “Redeeming Love.” D. J. Caruso directed the film, which stars Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey in the “X-Men” movies). The film follows Angel (Ms. Cowen), who was sold into prostitution as a child and has faced betrayal her entire life. • “The King’s Daughter.” Pierce Brosnan stars as King Louis XIV, who’s so determined to live forever that he steals a mermaid’s life force. But the plot gets another twist when his illegitimate daughter Maria-Josephe (Kaya Scodelario) discovers the mermaid (Bingbing Fan of “The 355”). William Hurt and Benjamin Walker also star in the film, directed by Sean McNamara. • “WarHunt.” A bunch of crow feathers engulfs a U.S. plane flying over Germany during World War II.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

SCORPIO — A powerful romantic attraction might lead to creative or artistic inspiration. You should be feeling especially passionate today, Scorpio, and your passions are likely to spill over not only into your relationships but into your work as well. Whatever you produce creatively is likely to be so inspired it impresses even you.

You might have to spend a lot of time on the phone or running around in the car to libraries and bookstores obtaining information. A close friend or love partner might choose to accompany you. You’re likely to be feeling very strongly about whatever you’re doing, so expect a gratifying day. CAPRICORN — New ideas and concepts regarding the way you make your living might come your way today, Capricorn, which could cause a bit of a shakeup in your value system.

These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/BFE_ Status/bfe_main.asp , or call the FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).
