Assemblyman Mike Gatto and Senator Ted Gaines introduce bill to allow drones to be disabled if they impede firefighting.
Drones Keep Getting in the Way of Firefighting in California. That Seems Bad.
On Monday, two California lawmakers introduced a bill that would allow officials to immobolize drones that get in the way of emergency responses like firefighting. The bill comes in response to multiple incidents this summer and assorted others over the past few years.
Assemblyman Mike Gatto, Democrat of Glendale, and Sen. Ted Gaines, Republican of El Dorado, want Senate Bill 168 to offer protection to emergency responders so they can disable drones that are hindering operations without the possibility of being charged with destruction of property later. Gatto said in a statement, “D...
On Friday, a large wildfire burned cars and houses on Interstate 15, but during the firefighting effort five drones delayed air units by 15 to 20 minutes. NBC Los Angeles reported that “two drones actually gave chase to air units.” (Seriously?) On July 12, a drone impeded firefighters for about 20 minutes while they we...
Gatto and Gaines are also working on another piece of legislation, SB 167, that would raise fines and potentially include jail time as a punishment for drone operators who impede emergency response efforts. “People can replace drones, but we can’t replace a life. When our rescuers are risking their own lives to protect...
Drones are supposed to be helping with disaster response, not making things worse.
DO the numbers in President Clinton's health plan add up?
Even before the president looked into his teleprompter on Sept. 20, the number crunchers were starting to pick apart his figures.
Then, a day after the speech, Martin Feldstein, a former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, said the president was off by about $210 billion - in the wrong direction.
The criticism was not unexpected. Mr. Clinton had tried to counter such comments by proclaiming that his figuring had been examined by government agencies and by private actuaries and accountants. ``So I believe our numbers are good and achievable,'' the president proclaimed.
Clinton is backed up by John Bertko, one of the actuaries called to the White House by Ira Magaziner, the president's manager of the health-care overhaul. ``To the best of anyone's ability to look at and model the numbers, they are as good as anyone could have done them,'' says Mr. Bertko, a partner in the San Francisc...
He says there were times when the group gave Mr. Magaziner bad news about the numbers. ``He said go back there and sit with those folks and come back with the right numbers,'' Bertko says.
However, despite the president's best efforts, the debate over financing is likely only to intensify, especially as the administration begins to reveal how it did its arithmetic.
The most controversy is likely to revolve around the issue of savings. Under the Clinton plan, there will be $441 billion in savings by the year 2000. Over half of it will come from Medicare and Medicaid.
The Clinton Medicare numbers are based on cutting down on paperwork, fraud, and abuse. However, most of the savings will come through a flat reduction in the amount of money the government will pay to hospitals and physicians. ``They just won't increase the price of the payment to the provider,'' says Albert Herman, a ...
To prevent the health-care providers from merely shifting their costs from the public to the private sector, Clinton proposes placing a cap on how much money the private sector can spend. And then he proposes limiting the premium costs to the corporations to a maximum 7.9 percent of their payroll.
There is considerable doubt that this will work. Outside experts believe the cost pressures will be mammoth. Under the Clinton plan, corporations will pay for their own employees' coverage plus part of the burden for the uninsured, small businesses, and retirees in the 55-to-65 age bracket. At the same time, Clinton pr...
``Yes, there will be savings administratively in the way care is provided, but even when you squeeze the fat out, I think you are still left with an increase in the cost for corporate America,'' Mr. Kosloff says.
If costs increase, Kosloff says he believes companies will either be socked with a tax increase or with payroll costs higher than 7.9 percent - in effect an additional corporate tax.
The rest of the money needed to finance the plan will not come from income taxes, the president has assured the nation. Instead, the plan proposes raising $105 billion from sin taxes and corporations.
In order to raise that kind of money, Kosloff says the administration is figuring on raising cigarette taxes by $1 per pack. According to the Tobacco Institute, Americans currently consume 25.5 billion packs of cigarettes annually. If the tax were enacted, it would raise an expected $16 billion per year (not $25 billio...
