MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin police and firefighters were supposed to escape higher pension and health care costs imposed on other public workers through Gov. Scott Walker's contentious collective- bargaining law. But the state's largest police union said local governments statewide have found another way to make them pay up: threaten huge health insurance cost increases if they don't start contributing to their retirement funds. The Wisconsin Professional Police Association contends local governments are taking advantage of a budget clause that allows municipalities to dictate the form of public safety workers' health insurance plans. The WPPA said local leaders are using the new power to set up exorbitant deductibles for police and firefighters if they don't agree to contribute to pensions.

As soon as members of Redlands Sister Cities Association got word of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that shook Japan on Friday, they took to their computers to try to reach their Japanese "families. Each year, the association facilitates student and professional exchanges between Redlands students, police officers and firefighters with those in Redlands' sister city of Hino, Japan. The city is one hour west of Tokyo and three hours south of the quake's epicenter of Sendai, which was very near the earthquake's epicenter and is Riverside's sister city. Association board member and past president Lowa Anderson said Redlands residents who go to Hino become part of their host families, so they were worried after learning of the quake.
