MEASURING LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND THE INFLUENCE OF ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Max Neiman and Kenneth Fernandez University of California, Riverside Abstract Based on a completed, large-scale study of suburban cities in Southern California (N=202) this paper reports on the existence and usefulness of measuring local economic development policy in various ways. The policy measures were derived from an extensive survey of local economic development officials. Comparisons between simple additive scales of total policy activity and additive scales derived from factor analysis are made. After comparing the results of regression analysis of local policies measured in several ways, it is concluded that in some instances explanations of local policies are best approached by measuring policy in fairly simple ways. In this case, our set of conventional independent variables explains the most amount of variation in the additive measure. Moreover, the patterns of findings do not alter in substantively important ways when the policy measure is altered. The most salient finding is that both poverty levels and average income were both negatively correlated with our policy measures.

The impact of Congress’ decision will be felt throughout the United States—from coast to coast, in every state, in cities large and small, by businesses of virtually every size and type. These businesses depend substantially on access to international markets for their growth and viability, and have the potential to prosper greatly, with benefits to employees and citizens alike, if Congress allows them full access to China’s enormous market.

Risky restoration Converting the Delta's wetlands to their natural state can produce toxic effects in drinking water. January 23, 2003 By Stuart Leavenworth Bee Staff Writer sleavenworth@sacbee.com The Sacramento Bee Sacramento, California To submit a Letter to the Editor: editor@sacbee.com It's an environmental crusade that ranks with saving the Everglades. In coming decades, ecologists hope to restore up to 70 square miles of wetlands in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, transforming several farm-tilled islands back into habitat for fish and fowl. But the dream is being tripped up by a troubling scientific finding: Wetlands release vast amounts of natural organic compounds that, while good for the ecosystem, are bad for cities that suck their drinking water out of the Delta. That means that state and federal authorities could worsen the drinking supplies of 22 million Californians if they haphazardly restore wetlands in the West Coast's largest estuary. "This is an important issue as we consider tripling or quadrupling the amount of tidal wetlands in the Delta," said Brian Bergamaschi, a U.S. Geological Survey geochemist who has been investigating the impacts of wetlands restoration. "This doesn't mean that you can't restore wetlands in the Delta. But you have to be careful about how you do it."

The influx of immigrants from Mexico coupled with high population growth is fostering the "Re-Mexicanization of the Southwest," which in turn is engendering greater demands for Chicana/o courses.
