Warren Furutani: The future of pension reform
Daily Breeze
Many are disappointed that the current California budget signed by Gov. Jerry Brown did not include pension reform. However, we still have the opportunity to adopt significant pension reform legislation that will augment the reforms already adopted at the bargaining table in the past year.

Crumbling Gerald Desmond Bridge must be replaced
It's impossible to overstate how important transportation and trade are to our region. Ports mean trade, and trade means jobs. The Gerald Desmond Bridge, which connects Terminal Island to downtown Long Beach, is a vital link for 15 percent of the nation's cargo that travels to and from the Port of Long Beach - one of the world's busiest seaports - and for the commuters of Southern California.
The Gerald Desmond Bridge is 42 years old and deteriorating rapidly. It doesn't meet seismic safety standards, its height doesn't accommodate more modern and environmentally friendly ships to enter the port, and it doesn't meet today's increased traffic flow. It must be replaced if it is to remain our gateway to economic growth and prosperity.

Degrees come 68 years later for Japanese-American graduates of PCC's Class of 1942
Hamane and 133 other Japanese-American "Nisei" students at what was then Pasadena Junior College never got the chance to graduate with the Class of 1942.
With their families, those second-generation Americans were forced by Executive Order 9066 to pack up and leave their homes and businesses for "relocation" camps after war was declared with Japan.
Most, except for those who joined up to fight, were held for the duration of World War II.
Sixty-eight years later, 15 former students, and 15 others representing those who have since died received honorary degrees Friday with PCC's 1,495-member graduating class.

Let's Show Some Initiative to Save College's
Master Plan
As a native Californian growing up in the 1950s and '60s, I enjoyed the fruits of the California Master Plan for Higher Education. I had the opportunity to attend a good California college and it was affordable. As a parent, my two sons were also able to take advantage of the same master plan, although costs were continuing to rise. Now as a member of the Joint Legislative Committee reviewing the master plan on its 50th anniversary, I've heard testimony bemoaning the demise of this precedent-setting plan that is respected and valued throughout the world. How could this happen?
