While justified criticism about President Joe Biden’s border fiasco rages on, an interesting and significant legal action has gone largely unnoticed.
Texan Brian Harrison, formerly Health and Human Services Department chief of staff in President Donald Trump’s administration, and co-plaintiff Steven Pace filed a 20-page brief in federal court in Amarillo seeking to resume the Trump-era, no-exception practice of returning unaccompanied minors to their home country.
In his legal filing, Harrison, who is on the May 1 special election ballot for the vacant House of Representatives’ seat that had been held by recently deceased Rep. Ron Wright, R-Texas, has submitted a two-prong argument.
I’ve also tried to explain the unique situation of the SBTHP drawing from both public and private sources. Through an operating agreement with the California State Parks Department, for instance, SBTHP was allowed to keep rental income from El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park to operate and develop the park.
This public-private partnership also enabled SBTHP to receive funds from a special joint powers agreement with the City of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County set up by civic leader and conservation and preservation pioneer Pearl Chase. Although the county dropped out after the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, the city continued to earmark money for the presidio in its annual budget, not to mention grants that were to come from the city’s since disbanded Redevelopment Agency.

“Not driving distracted is a simple, but significant behavior change,” Farmer said. “The goal is to increase compliance with the hands-free cell phone law and keep people safe.”
Under current law, drivers are not allowed to hold a phone or other electronic device while behind the wheel. Motorists under age 18 are not allowed to use a phone for any reason, including hands-free.
If you need to make a call or send a text, pull over and park at a safe location, the Police Department said. Drivers should silence their phones or put the phone out of reach, such as the glove box or trunk.

The Santa Barbara Unified School District is looking to replace 102 windows at the Santa Barbara High School campus, a move that would cost the district about $1.26 million.
Funding for the project would come out of Measure I bond funds.
The school board was set to vote on the project on Feb. 9, but it was removed from the agenda so the project could be reviewed by the Santa Barbara Historic Landmarks Commission.
