A tall, handmade, wood flagpole has journeyed across America to stand proudly at Santa Barbara Junior High School. The pole, which stands approximately 40 feet high, is a replica of one that previously stood at the historic school. On Tuesday — Flag Day — school officials, elected representatives and students pledged allegiance after school custodians raised the American flag for the first time on the Cota Street flagpole. “It is stunning, and we’re so proud to have this complete our campus,” Principal Arielle Curry told the audience surrounding the flagpole. Leading the pledge of allegiance were Nicole Buist and Isel Rodriguez, who attended Santa Barbara Junior High this past school year. Student Hayden Hernandez was there with them. Then Dos Pueblos High School senior Audrey Harmand, a Teen Star finalist, poured her heart into singing the national anthem a capella. At one point, closing her eyes, she added some special jazz to a high note, prompting Please see FLAG DAY on A4

A small crowd gathers around the new, handmade flagpole Tuesday at Santa Barbara Junior High School. Made in Keystone, N.Y., it is a wood replica of the historic school’s previous flagpole.

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 Tuesday to approve a $1.4 billion budget, with Supervisor Bob Nelson dissenting. The budget was OK’d following the morning’s hearings and deliberations. In his final comments, Supervisor Nelson explained his reasons for voting against the budget. “I will be collegial in my dissent today. I am really proud of this budget in most ways. It is a values document. It represents a large portion of my values and the values of my constituents. “But there are some fundamental inequities in this budget that I cannot accept,” Supervisor Nelson said. “I do appreciate the effort of my colleagues to try to debate these things. And I do believe all of you when you guys said that in September we will come to discuss this. I appreciate that I know that this board has been making some large strides in resource allocation that we have been trying to deal with, for generations frankly, that we are trying to solve. “But at the end of the day for this budget the way it currently is situated, I can’t be there. I look

forward to the opportunity to have future discussions of future budgets.” he said. In the public safety portion of the budget, a position was recently added. as approved by the Community Corrections Partnership, for a multi-agency assessment, case management and re-entry coordinator for the Discharge Planning Team. Supervisor Nelson said public safety and mental health are the main issues that he hears about from his constituents. Supervisor Nelson, whose district is in North County, advocated for the addition of a community resource deputy for North County to come out of Proposition 172. Supervisor Nelson also pointed out that only one co-response team is in the North County, as opposed to two in the south. Supervisor Gregg Hart agreed that a broader discussion of Proposition 172 is needed. The co-response team is one of the most successful programs in mental health services, according to Supervisor Hart. Other hiring needs for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office were discussed. There are currently nine deputy vacancies on the law enforcement side and 27 vacancies on the custody side Please see BUDGET on A4

California lawmakers pass $300 billion budget framework By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — State lawmakers passed their legislative budget proposal out of both the Assembly and Senate on Monday, moving the proposal on to Gov. Gavin Newsom ahead of today’s deadline. The Legislature’s $300 billion budget framework includes $110 billion for education as required by Proposition 98, $40 billion on infrastructure investments and more than $37 billion for reserves. The budget also includes lawmakers’ proposal to spend $10 billion to send relief to residents and small businesses. In addition, the legislative budget framework includes several aspects of Gov. Newsom’s budget proposal, including his plan to expand Medi-Cal to all eligible Californians regardless of their immigration status. “This responsible budget package strikes the right balance of providing fiscal relief to families and small businesses,” Senate Budget Chair Nancy Skinner said Monday. Under the California Constitution, legislators were required to pass a budget framework by today or else they could risk forfeiting pay. The budget document will now move to Gov. Newsom, and he will have about 12 working days to amend or sign the bill, according to budget process documents from the Senate. The budget agreement received pushback from several Republican lawmakers, many of whom argued the budget should contain additional funding for water

resiliency, a suspension of the state’s gas tax and more money for small businesses. “With nearly $100 billion in surplus, the proposal before us still fails to adequately address the critical and core crises facing our state from a devastating drought to catastrophic wildfires to a potentially crippling power shortage,” Assembly Budget Committee Vice Chair Vince Fong told lawmakers. “Let’s be honest – at best, this budget is incomplete.” A key piece of both Gov. Newsom’s and the Legislature’s proposed budgets are relief checks for residents, though Gov. Newsom and legislators have different plans to provide relief. Gov. Newsom’s plan would use $11.5 billion of the state’s $97 billion surplus to send $400 checks to every registered vehicle owner, with a cap of two vehicles per person. Lawmakers, however, have floated a separate plan that would send rebates of $200 per taxpayer and dependent for families making up to $250,000 in joint income and $125,000 for single filers. Under the proposal, a qualified family of five could receive a rebate of $1,000. During a budget hearing Monday, lawmakers said they believe their rebate would be more beneficial for California residents as opposed to the governor’s proposal, which would be reliant on vehicle ownership. “This is a much more equitable proposal than what the administration had proposed, which was frankly, based on car ownership – number of cars owned you’d get more money, which is very inequitable,” Assemblymember Alex Lee, D-San Jose, said.

Lawmakers also mentioned concerns about the potential for fraud under Gov. Newsom’s proposal. Representatives from the governor’s office explained Monday that the inflation rebates would come through debit cards that would be mailed to registered vehicle owners. After seeing fraud that came from the Employment Development Department’s use of debit cards, some lawmakers noted that the governor’s proposal could lead to further issues with fraud. “There’s nothing that stops anybody from going into someone’s mailbox and taking those debit cards, and we saw that happen throughout the past year,” Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo, D-Los Angeles, told lawmakers. Representatives from the Department of Finance assured lawmakers that the governor “full heartedly agrees” that stopping fraud at the beginning is important. The Department of Finance stressed that it plans to do “due diligence” with vendors and ensure they use fraud detection methods to get debit cards in the hands of the right people. After the budget passed the Assembly and Senate on Monday, Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins, D-San Diego, and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood, released a joint statement saying they “look forward to working with the governor in the coming days to ensure we have a responsible budget in place for the start of the fiscal year that delivers prosperity and strengthens the future.” Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

(The Center Square) — California Highway Patrol investigators intercepted a stolen shipment of Lululemon leggings with a retail value of more than $200,000. CHP officials assigned to the Border Division’s Organized Retail Crime Taskforce located 16 boxes of stolen Lululemon leggings located inside a La Habra apartment, officials announced in a news release. There were 1,861 stolen items seized by investigators with a retail value of over $203,000 “According to Lululemon representatives, this is the largest recovery of stolen items in the company’s history,” CHP said in a

Monday news release. The merchandise was stolen from retail locations across the country, including stores in Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. Officials began investigating after being alerted to three large boxes of Lululemon merchandise being shipped from Ohio to the apartment in La Habra. CHP said the investigation remains ongoing, and “apartment residents claimed no knowledge of what the boxes contained.” California saw several instances of retail theft at the end of 2021, including a series of “smash and grab” robberies in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta condemned the series of retail thefts, promising to include funding in

the state budget to combat retail theft. Within his budget proposal unveiled in January, Gov. Newsom proposed $356 million over three years to “bolster local law enforcement efforts to crack down on organized retail theft and other crimes, and support affected small businesses.” Of the $356 million, about $85 million will be made available annually through 2024-2025 for grants to local law enforcement, including police and sheriffs’ departments. Under the program, law enforcement can use the grants to “enforce theftrelated laws,” which includes participation in CHP’s task forces, according to the budget proposal.

Supreme Court rules that foreign nationals detained for entering U.S. illegally aren’t entitled to bond hearings By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — The U.S. Supreme Court dealt another blow to foreign nationals entering and re-entering the U.S. illegally by unanimously ruling that federal law doesn’t entitle them to a bond hearing. In Johnson v. Arteaga-Martinez,

Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for a unanimous court. Justice Stephen Breyer filed a separate opinion partially concurring and dissenting. At issue is whether a section of the Immigration and Naturalization Act requires the federal government “to offer detained noncitizens bond hearings after six months

of detention in which the government bears the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that a noncitizen poses a flight risk or a danger to the community.” The court ruled unanimously, “It does not.” The case was brought by Please see BONDS on A4

City Council OKs increases to waste rates

DAVE MASON/NEWS-PRESS

The Santa Barbara City Council unanimously approved increases to wastewater and solid waste rates at its meeting Tuesday. A story on the meeting will appear in Thursday’s News-Press.

BONDS

Continued from Page A3 a Mexican citizen, Antonio Arteaga-Martinez, who entered the U.S. illegally and was removed in July 2012 and re-entered the U.S. again illegally in September 2012. U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a warrant for his arrest in 2018, reinstated his earlier removal order, and detained him pursuant to its authority under the INA. He applied to have the removal withheld, citing the Convention Against Torture act claiming he would be persecuted or tortured if he returned to Mexico. An asylum officer determined he had established a reasonable fear of persecution or torture, and the Department of Homeland Security referred him for withholding-only proceedings before an immigration judge. After he was detained for four months, he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in district court claiming his continued detention without a bond hearing was unlawful. The federal government conceded that he would be entitled to a bond hearing after six months of detention citing a 2001 Supreme Court ruling, Zadvydas v. Davis. In this case, the court held that federal law provides an implied time limit of six months for illegal immigrants to be detained when they’ve been ordered by a judge to be removed from the U.S. and their removal isn’t “reasonably foreseeable.” The district court granted his request and ordered the

federal government to offer a bond hearing. At the hearing, an immigration judge ordered his release pending resolution of his application for withholding of removal. The Third Circuit affirmed the lower court’s decision. But the Third Circuit was wrong, the Supreme Court ruled. Section 1231 of the INA “does not address or even hint” that the detainee is entitled to such relief, Justice Sotomayor argued. Instead, it “provides only that a noncitizen ordered removed ‘may be detained beyond the removal period’ and if released, ‘shall be subject to (certain) terms of supervision.’ “On its face, the statute says nothing about bond hearings before immigration judges or burdens of proof, nor does it provide any other indication that such procedures are required.” The section “cannot be read to incorporate the procedures imposed by the courts below as a matter of textual command,” she added. The Supreme Court unanimously reversed the decision of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and remanded the case “for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.” Justice Sotomayor noted that constitutional challenges to prolonged detention under the INA were not addressed in the ruling. “Arteaga-Martinez’s alternative theory that he is presumptively entitled to release under Zadvydas also was not addressed,” she wrote. “The Court leaves these arguments for the lower courts to consider in the first instance.”

audience that the flagpole was made in Keystone, N.Y. “It has made it across the country to be here today.” She noted the flagpole and the American flag are symbols of the resilience and rebuilding process that is taking place during this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Attending the ceremony was a special guest whom Ms. Curry asked to be there: Scott Cohen. He’s a good Samaritan who assisted Santa Barbara

police with their investigation of the vandalism that damaged the original flagpole. (The man responsible for the damage paid $27,000 in restitution for the new flagpole.) Also at the ceremony were Gregg Hart and Das Williams of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors; and several Santa Barbara Unified School board members — Rose Munoz (president), Wendy Sims-Moten (vice president) and Kate Ford.

Elected officials and Mr. Cohen participated in the ribbon cutting for the flagpole, which Ms. Curry said arrived at the end of last week. “There was so much talk that it was surreal to see it actually arrive,” Ms. Curry told the News-Press. She added that the flagpole is an ideal bookend to last fall’s completion of the school’s new multipurpose room.

Ms. Reyes-Martín has received early endorsements of her candidacy from Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte; Goleta City Councilmembers James Kyriaco, Kyle Richards and Stuart Kasdin; Goleta Union School District board members Rich Mayer and Sholeh Jahangir; Santa Barbara County Supervisors Joan Hartmann, Gregg Hart and Das Williams; and Supervisor-elect

Laura Capps. She also has been endorsed by Goleta Water Board members Lauren Hanson, Farfalla Borah and Kathleen Werner; state Sen. Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, and former state Sen. HannahBeth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara. This fall’s election is the first one in which Goleta City Council members are being elected to represent specific districts. District 1 contains

sites such as the Goleta Valley Library, Lake Los Carneros, Stow Grove Park and Rancho La Patera & Stow House. The district also includes La Patera and Kellogg elementary schools, Goleta Valley Junior High School, and private and charter schools, as well as the Fairview and Calle Real shopping centers.

We want more positions filled. “This is something that Supervisor Nelson and I talked about at the budget deliberations, and we just want to make it super crystal clear that there is money available for the hiring,” said Supervisor Williams, who praised

the overall budget process as the board worked with department heads and county CEO Mona Miyasato. “It has really I think given us great progress as an institution and has really enabled us to deliver substantively on infrastructure, road repair, human services, public safety and we have bold brave moves

in store because we are not just going to hold the status quo in that tranquil, we are going to push the envelope and do some great things together.” Deferred maintenance and capital projects as well as veterans services are also included in this budget.

museum’s holdings of Japanese modernist woodblock prints are also part of the conversation, including an exquisite print by Hiroyuki Tajima. “Gestural Abstraction” contains energetic paintings that hold an emotional charge, including some pieces by Soulages, Nay, Fernando de Szyszlo and Matsumi Kanemitsu. “The final section, ‘Signs & Symbols,’ contains artists who use symbols, such as rows, road signs and written language,” Mr. Gillson said. “These artists are less about visual abstractions than the philosophical and linguistic ones that shape language, thought and how humans come to understand the world.”

From left, Montecito rocker Kenny Loggins, ShelterBox USA President Kerri Murray and Bobby Shand gather at the home of Montecito resident Rand Rosenberg for a recent ShelterBox benefit. Mr. Loggins surprised the audience, dedicating his song, “Conviction of the Heart,” to ShelterBox, while pledging his financial support to ShelterBox’s relief efforts. Also performing at the benefit were Grammy-winning artist Lawrence Juber, lead guitarist for Paul McCartney’s Wings; Dan Navarro, who recently performed on the Oscar-winning film “Encanto” (his vocals can be heard on “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”); singer Steve Postell, a renowned guitarist and songwriter, and British folk rocker Iain Matthews.

Europe is Ernst Wilhelm Nay. The Santa Barbara Museum of Art owns a brilliantly colored abstraction of his that was shown in the German Pavilion of the 1956 Venice Biennale. To make sense of the sprawling topic of global abstraction, the exhibition is divided into four sections: “Op Art,” “Layers,” “Gestural Abstraction” and “Signs & Symbols.” “ ‘Op Art,’ short for Optical Art, was an international phenomenon in the 1960s that excited the public but was met with derision from critics. The artists wanted to use optical effects to break through the barriers of culture and history to create art that reached directly into the mind of the viewer,” said Mr. Gillson.

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.

especially high right now. LIBRA — An increased psychological awareness and heightened intuition could have you tuning in to the thoughts and feelings of family members before they even know what they want, Libra. You might be able to pick up the thoughts of strangers. This is the day to trust your inner voice, especially when it comes to making plans with others. SCORPIO — The focus today is on families, with special emphasis on children. You might spend time telling stories today. Someone with whom you’re in contact could be dealing with some powerful emotional issues and not want company. There isn’t much you can do, Scorpio. Let the person know you’re there and then leave them alone. SAGITTARIUS — Others, particularly family members, might be rather quiet today. It could seem as if everyone is running around like crazy but not sharing what’s on their minds. You’ll have to trust your intuition when you need to know what they’re up to, Sagittarius. CAPRICORN — Communication, particularly with family members and romantic partners, could take place more subtly than verbally today. Nonetheless, Capricorn, you’ll sense strong love and support from everyone. Romance, especially, should be intense and sensual, so this is a great day to schedule an evening alone with a lover if possible. AQUARIUS — Today you should be feeling especially intuitive, particularly where family members are concerned, Aquarius. It certainly won’t be easy for anyone to lie to you. You might also think about making some repairs to your home, which you may have been putting off. You might spend at least part of the day alone meditating or contemplating your future. PISCES — A group you’re affiliated with could meet or have a virtual/group chat today, Pisces. You should focus more on listening to what they have to say than on actively participating in discussions. You’ll want to absorb every idea that comes up and seriously mull it over before expressing yourself. When you communicate, you should do it freely and openly. Your mind is both intuitive and logical, so expect to learn a lot.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Your communications could bring up the subject of the world economy and what it’s going to mean to individuals today. You could be contemplating and maybe even discussing your financial future. This is a good time to make such plans, Aries, as your mind is logical and intuitive today. TAURUS — Today you might receive a phone call from a friend you haven’t seen for a while. An intense and emotional conversation could follow, Taurus. Stimulating news could have you preoccupied for a while. Spiritual activities could also take up much of your time. Listening to someone speak might cause you to feel more insightful than usual. GEMINI — You generally enjoy philosophy, metaphysics, and other forms of higher thought, Gemini, but today you could find yourself almost obsessive about them. You might decide to sequester yourself and concentrate on these concepts. This is a great day to do this because intellect combines with intuition to enable you to understand and make sense of abstract ideas. CANCER — Discussions involving a group you’re affiliated with could lead to some deep subjects, such as philosophy, metaphysics, science - or all three. Your mind should be quick and sharp today, Cancer, on both a logical and an intuitive level. You’ll probably soak up just about everything you hear. LEO — Today you might decide to do some repairs or decorating in your home. You’ll have a lot of good ideas welling up from deep within you, Leo, and be astute enough to put them to work in the real world. You might not feel much like talking, however. Therefore, don’t be surprised if communication is more subtle than overt today. VIRGO — Communicating with a current or potential romantic partner could involve a lot of subtlety, finding a way to enjoy each other’s company while not divulging too much. You’re likely to feel especially passionate today, Virgo. Take care of your health and look your best. Your aesthetic sense is

White House faces questions on Biden’s fitness, 2024 plans, inflation

By RICHIE MALOUF THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed concerns regarding President Joe Biden’s possible re-election bid. In an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon late Monday, Ms. JeanPierre responded to a question concerning President Biden’s potential inability to run again in 2024. “Does the President have the stamina, physically and mentally, do you think to continue on even after 2024?” Mr. Lemon asked. “Don, you’re asking me this

question? Oh my gosh, he’s the president of the United States,” Ms. Jean-Pierre replied. “That is not a question that we should be even asking.” These comments come after a New York Times article reporting Democrats’ hesitancy to endorse President Biden, who is 79, for a 2024 run. “That article that we’re talking about is hearsay,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said. “That’s not what we care about. We care about how are we going to deliver for the American people, how are we going to make their lives better.” U.S. Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez, D-N.Y., declined to

endorse Mr. Biden’s potential running in 2024 during a different CNN interview. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said. “We’ll take a look at it.” President Biden’s approval ratings also show Democrats’ wavering support of the President. His approval rating sits at 41%, according to Reuters. Specifically, voters claim that inflation is the most pressing issue, according to a poll by Quinnipiac University, with 64% disapproving of his handling of the economy. When asked by a reporter on Monday about the issue

of inflation, Ms. Jean-Pierre responded, “We know families are concerned about inflation and the stock market. That is something that the president is really aware of. And so, look, we face global challenges. We’ve talked about this. This is – we’re not the only country dealing with what we’re seeing at the moment as it relates to inflation.” Defending her previous statements on the matter, JeanPierre has come out saying that Biden does indeed plan to run in 2024 on her Twitter account. “To be clear, as the president has said repeatedly, he plans to run in 2024,” she said.

Producer prices spike 10.8% in past year as inflation soars in America By RICHIE MALOUF THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) — The price of producer goods and services spiked by 10.8% over the past year, driven in part by higher gas prices, according to new federal data. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Tuesday released producer price index data, which showed the PPI increased by 0.8% in May, up from a 0.4% increase in April and preceded by 1.6% in March. The PPI report shows that almost half of the increase in

prices for final demand goods in May results from an 8.4% increase in the index for gasoline, with the national average sitting at a record high $5.02 per gallon of regular gas. In California Tuesday, the average price was $6.44 a gallon, according to the American Automobile Association. In Santa Barbara County, the average was a little less, $6.35 a gallon. “In May, nearly two-thirds of the rise in the index for final demand was due to a 1.4% advance in prices for final demand goods. The index for final demand services increased 0.4%,” BLS said. “Over

70% of the increase in May can be traced to a 5% advance in prices for final demand energy.” This data comes at the heels of the Consumer Price Index, which showed last week a 1% increase overall in May, part of the fastest rise in consumer prices in decades. The food and energy index increased by 1.2% and 3.9%, respectively, in the month of May alone. “While almost all major components increased over the month, the largest contributors were the indexes for shelter, airline fares, used cars and

trucks, and new vehicles,” BLS said. “The indexes for medical care, household furnishings and operations, recreation, and apparel also increased in May.” Republicans have criticized President Joe Biden for his handling of inflation and its effects on the economy. “Joe Biden’s self-made inflation crisis is destroying the nation,” U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said. “He is failing hard-working Americans every single day. The worst part is he has no real plan to fix inflation.” News-Press Managing Editor Dave Mason contributed to this report.

Reports: Majority of Americans use savings to cover inflation costs as stagflation concerns mount By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — The majority of Americans’ finances are worse than they were a year ago and they’re blowing through savings to make ends meet as record-high inflation has caused prices to skyrocket, several reports indicate. At the same time, financial experts argue stagflation warnings are surfacing as the White House says it hasn’t “missed much” on inflation and boasts of economic growth. Roughly 70% of Americans are using their savings to cover the higher costs of goods that are blowing through their budgets, a recent survey of 2,000 adults conducted by Forbes found. According to the survey, 67%, or “a full two-thirds of Americans say they’re raiding their savings as prices for goods and services spike.” Among them, 8% said they’ve completely drained their savings; 23% have depleted a substantial amount and 36% have spent a small amount solely because of inflation. Older Americans are faring better, with 67% of those 77 or older saying they haven’t touched their savings.

BLOTTER

Continued from Page A2 pursuit in the area of Highway 101 at La Cumbre Road due to safety concerns. When the suspects fled into Ventura County, the sheriff’s office requested assistance from the Ventura Police Department and the California Highway Patrol. The suspects’ vehicle later collided with a fixed object in the area of Main Street and Figueroa Street in downtown Ventura, and four suspects fled the vehicle. Deputies responded and with the assistance of the allied agencies, apprehended all suspects and transported them to the Santa Barbara County Main Jail for booking. During a search

But as real wages have dropped and consumer debt has increased, savings are shrinking for most Americans. According to a Bureau of Economic Analysis report, the personal savings rate for April 2022 was 4.4%, the lowest level since September 2008. Likewise, a New York Federal Reserve “Survey of Consumer Expectations” found the majority surveyed said their finances are worse today than they were a year ago. Spending growth expectations increased sharply in April to 9%, the Fed reported, “the fifth consecutive increase and a new series high.” Those impacted the most are between the ages of 40 and 60 and without a college education, the survey found. Concerns about stagflation are also increasing, the Fed found. Stagflation occurs when rising interest rates, increased unemployment and slowing economic growth occur at the same time. While inflation is at a 40-year high and the Fed is expected to raise interest rates later this week, unemployment numbers are going down, not up. Recently surveyed economists also agree the U.S. is likely to hit a recession in 2023, according to a report by the Financial Times. of the vehicle, deputies located more than a half dozen catalytic converters and theft related tools, Mr. Minter said. Deputies booked Los Angeles residents 32-year-old Saul Tamayo, 37-year-old Wilber Rabanales, 32-year-old Pedro Martinez and 33-year-old Edith Godinez on suspicion of several felonies: grand theft, fleeing/eluding law enforcement, hit and run and conspiracy. Mr. Tamayo and Mr. Rabanales were also found to have outstanding warrants for their arrests, Mr. Minter said. All subjects were booked at the Main Jail in Santa Barbara, where Mr. Martinez and Ms. Godinez were later released without bail in compliance with the local court’s extension of Emergency Rule 4. — Katherine Zehnder

One third said the recession could hit by the second half of next year; 40% said it would happen during the first or second quarters. As inflation rose by 8.6% in May from last May, the highest since 1981, consumer confidence also fell. According to the Consumer Confidence Board, consumer confidence dropped to a three-month low in May – a key indication that a recession is near. When evaluating consumer data, “70% of our GDP is consumer spending, and consumers are about as gloomy as they’ve ever, ever been,” George John, a University of Minnesota professor, told WCCO Sunday Morning. “So that tells me consumer spending is not going to continue, and that’s when you get a recession.” Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s CIO of global fixed income, echoed a similar sentiment. “More and more corporate announcements and earnings releases (or warnings) are reflecting a consumer that is now in a terrible mood given the decline in net disposable income, and consequently, these consumers are dramatically slowing spending on the backside of it,” he wrote, as reported by CNBC. Economists surveyed by the Consumer Confidence Board “do not foresee the economy

picking up steam in the months ahead,” it found. “Looking ahead, expect surging prices and additional interest rate hikes to pose continued downside risks to consumer spending this year,” the board warned. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates this week by half a point or 75 basis points to offset inflation. Some economists expect the economy to slow as the Fed raises interest rates, MarketWatch reports, and “some companies have already cut back on their hiring plans, and even rescinded some offers,” it notes. Bank of America’s chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett warned that the U.S. economy is already in a “technical recession” and Phil Orlando, Federated Hermes’ chief equity market strategist said consumers at the margins aren’t “going to be able or willing to continue to pay” skyrocketing prices, creating a “greater stagflationary risk,” CNBC reported.
