  Understandably, very few citizens of California follow closely the state budget process which, for the 2026-27 fiscal year, just kicked off with the release of the Governor’s proposal. Of course, part of that may be due to the complexity of public finance issues, but the reality is that since 2010 with the passage of Proposition 25, the state has no discernible annual spending plan. 
  Technically, the timing of passing a budget hasn’t changed. It’s merely that the deadlines

• Alexander: Rams will battle both the Bears and the elements

  It’s easy to forget, given the number of times that Southern California NFL teams have headed into the frigid climes of the North for postseason games only to have their championship hopes shoved into the deep freeze.
  (Trust me, we’ll address those.)
  But when the Rams ventured into Soldier Field 40 years ago this week for the NFC championship game, what turned out to be another lost postseason Sunday wasn’t a result of the frost. It was the wind.

  Purdue (10-7 overall, 2-4 Big Ten) lost its first four games of Big Ten play but beat Wisconsin on the road and then took down Washington, which was ranked No. 23 at the time, in overtime.
