Page one "in play"
Our page one for tomorrow's Star is, as they say, "in play."
That could mean we're not sure we know what we're doing. Or it could mean that we have lots of choices.
We prefer the later description.
Immigration remains a subject that we'll be writing about on Page One for tomorrow. Star Sacramento bureau chief Timm Herdt will explore what the issue could mean for our fall gubernatorial election. We're also watching the debate in the Senate to see what happens today, and we'll have something on President Bush's trip to Cancun to meet with Canadian and Mexican officials ... where migration is sure to be a topic.
In addition to all that, we'll tease you tomorrow about our upcoming Sunday package looking at illegal immigration in Ventura County.
In addition to immigration, here are some of the other stories "in play" for Page One:
-- Budget cuts may eliminate the American Indian health clinic in Santa Barbara. There are 7,000 Indians in Ventura County and the loss of the clinic means that for some of them, the closest available health care will be in Palm Springs.
-- State and federal officials are meeting in LA to talk about the bird flu. Our local officials are listening in on the conference and we'll give us their thoughts on how well prepared we are ... or aren't ... for this potential pandemic.
-- A summit in Oxnard today wrestles with the issue of sustainability of Ventura County's agriculture industry.
-- Reporter Jill Carroll was released today in Baghdad after three months of captivity.
-- The Massachusetts Supreme Court says non-residents of the state can't take advantage of their same-sex marriage laws.
-- And Delphi, the auto parts company, may try to cut its union contract today in hopes of lower wages. That could trigger a strike, which could mean real problems for GM and other auto manufacturers.
See: we're "in play."
We'll make some tentative decisions at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Can you pick your top 4-5 stories off this list?
