ON Aug. 15, I had the privilege of submitting to the California secretary of state, on behalf of my fellow California Citizen Redistricting Commission members, the new maps for elections throughout the next decade. Thanks to voter-approved initiatives, this was the first time in California history that legislative, congressional and Board of Equalization districts were drawn by an independent, nonpartisan commission.
This article demonstrates how the content and meaning of California's consumer protection laws were shaped by automobile manufacturers, the very group these laws were designed to regulate. My analysis draws on and links two literatures that examine the relationship between law and organizations but often overlook one another: political science studies of how businesses influence public legal institutions, and neo-institutional sociology studies of how organizations shape law within their organizational field. By integrating these literatures, I develop an "institutional-political" theory that demonstrates how organizations' construction of law and compliance within an organizational field shapes the meaning of law among legislators and judges. This study examines case law and more than ...

The tea party phenomenon is one of the significant puzzles of this year's politics -- exciting to some people and alarming to others. By placing it in the historical context of other populist movements, Henry Olsen of the American Enterprise Institute has helped define it -- and the important choice Republicans now face. In an article in the summer issue of National Affairs and a follow-up interview, Olsen, who worked as a legislative staffer in California before joining three conservative think tanks, briefly reviews the checkered history of American populism.

A story on page A1 of the Wednesday, July 15 edition incorrectly stated the historic significance of former state Rep. John Eder's election to the Maine Legislature. Eder of Portland was the second Green Party candidate elected to a state legislative body in U.S. history. Audie Bock of California was the first Green candidate elected to a state legislature in 1999. BANGOR - Matthew Cosgrove scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning to lift Bangor by Hampden 4-3 Wednesday night and into the championship round of the District 3 Junior League all-star baseball tourney at Mansfield Stadium.
EPA has granted the California Air Resources Board (CARB) its request for an authorization to adopt and enforce regulations for its airborne toxic control measures for auxiliary diesel engines operated on ocean-going vessels at-berth in California ports (``At-Berth Regulation''). The At-Berth Regulation is designed to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter from auxiliary diesel engines on container vessels, passenger vessels and refrigerated cargo vessels while they are docked at specified California ports.

Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, took over as speaker Tuesday amid much fanfare about being the first African-American woman to lead the California Assembly - or any other legislative body in the nation's history.
