  20-10-2018 23:15 via ocregister.com
  
  This was by far the best week for the Orange County student sections this season.
  The only problem: How do we pick only five finalists and one winner?
  You guys made it tough for me. If there was an applause button, I’d hit it repeatedly.Bravo ladies and gentlemen, bravo.
  We could only pick five finalists for this week’s OCVarsity Student Section of the Week award, but there were at least five more student sections that, in any other week, would have been on the list and might have wo

• California must come to terms with its fiscal realities and uncertainties

  20-10-2018 23:13 via ocregister.com
  
  “What’s out there is darkness. Uncertainty. Decline and recession.” That’s how Gov. Jerry Brown described the situation that awaits his successor, regardless of who wins next month’s election to replace him.
  Analysts agree that California’s outsized reliance on tax receipts from a tiny segment of ultra-rich residents exposes the state to big budgetary risks, but both major parties have struggled to respond effectively.
  Still, it’s clear what policies mus

• Prop. 12 is an abuse of California’s ballot box

  20-10-2018 22:53 via ocregister.com
  
  SACRAMENTO – Critics of California’s voter-initiative process often rail against “ballot-box budgeting,” which refers to the way these measures often impose major budget outlays by democratic fiat. Average voters probably can’t even name all of their representatives, let alone explain how the state’s finances work. Yet they are called upon to make complex fiscal decisions based usually on campaign mailers and ballot titles.

• Rams receiver Robert Woods heads toward a career year after escaping Buffalo

  20-10-2018 22:12 via ocregister.com
  
  SANTA CLARA – The Rams bought high on Robert Woods, but still got a good return on the investment.
  That seemed unlikely just 19 months ago, when the Woods signed a five-year, $34-million contract. That worked out to almost $7 million per season for a free-agent receiver who had never reached 700 yards.
  The Rams knew. They’d seen Woods run routes, watched him block, heard about his intelligence and seen it show up on tape. Perhaps they also understand something that couldn’t be
