Dahle’s Highway Management Bill
Passes on Assembly Floor
From the Office of Megan Dahle
SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - On May 25, 2022,
AB 2514 authored by Assemblywoman
Megan Dahle (R-Bieber) passed off of the
Assembly Floor with a unanimous bi-parti-
san vote. AB 2514 seeks to understand the
funding imbalance between rural and urban
areas of the state and requests a study be
conducted to identify new and creative ways
of applying transportation policy to ensure
rural roads and highways are properly
funded and safe, given the increased use and
impact from heavy vehicles in recent years.
“Rural roads and highways are often
overlooked when it comes to adequate road
and highway funding. Especially in a dis-
trict as large as mine, rural roads are heavily
impacted by chronic wildfires, and the
emergency vehicles used to fight fires,” said
Dahle.
AB 2514 passed the Assembly
Transportation Committee with a unani-
mous vote in April. After another unanimous
vote of support today, it will move on to be
heard in the Senate.
Assemblywoman Megan Dahle rep-
resents the 1st Assembly District in the
California Legislature, which includes por-
tions of Butte and Placer counties, along
with Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Plumas,
Shasta, Sierra, and Siskiyou counties. H

the youth are being used
to push Agenda 21, depop-
ulation, the way deranged
Democrats are handling the
state's water issues; tearing
down dams, disapproving
requests to build desalina-
tion plants, and not moving
forward on approved water
storage facilities; and why

Gallagher Reacts to Latest
Inflation Numbers
Assembly Republicans
News Release
SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG)
- On Friday, June 10,
Assembly Republican
Leader James Gallagher
(Yuba City) issued the
following statement
in reaction to the lat-
est inflation numbers
released today.
“It is ridiculous to
think that families in
California can keep up
with 8.6% inflation,
especially as gas prices
keep driving the cost
of everything up even
higher.”
“Californians are feel-
ing this pain not only at
the pump, but in our
energy costs, housing
costs, and groceries,
which have seen the
biggest increase since
1979.”
“Democrats have
refused to act on every
reasonable Republican
solution for imme-
diate relief from
rising inflation and
highest gas prices in the
nation. Unfortunately,
Californians are left to
bear the brunt of the
highest gas prices in
U.S. history.”
“Sadly, none of this
comes as a surprise.” H

Award-Winning Author
to Speak at Gridley Library
Story and photo
by Kathy Callan
REDDING, CA (MPG) - Award-
winning Northern California
author Steven T. Callan will
give a presentation about his
latest book and first novel,
The Case of the Missing
Game Warden, at the Gridley
Library on Thursday, June
23, at 7:00 p.m.
Callan’s book was recently
selected as a “Best First
Novel” award finalist in the
Next Generation Indie Book
Awards, the largest inter-
national awards program
for independent publishers
and authors. Callan’s book
is published by Coffeetown
Press of Seattle, an imprint
of Epicenter Press. Much
of the action in Callan’s lat-
est book takes place in and
around Gridley.
Steven T. Callan grew
up in the small Northern
California farm town of
Orland, where he spent his
high-school years playing
baseball, basketball, hunting,
and fishing. With an insatia-
ble interest in wildlife, he
never missed an opportunity
to ride along on patrol with
his father, a California Fish
and Game warden. Steve
went on to graduate from
CSU, Chico, and attended
graduate school at CSU,
Sacramento. Hired by the
California Department of
Fish and Game in 1974, he
began his career as a game
warden near the Colorado
River, promoted to patrol
lieutenant in the Riverside/
San Bernardino area, and
spent the remainder of his
thirty-year enforcement
career in Shasta County.
Callan has also earned
numerous awards for his
work in wildlife protection.
Callan says, “My love
of nature is what drives my
writing. I include a conserva-
tion message in everything I
write.” He describes The
Case of the Missing Game
Warden as “a mystery, an
adventure, a love story, a
coming-of-age tale, and a
celebration of nature.” The
novel is already garnering
high praise from readers,
who tell Callan they are
eagerly awaiting the sec-
ond novel in his Henry
Glance series. Callan’s
first two books, both non-
fiction and published by
Coffeetown Press, earned
excellent reviews and cap-
tured awards. His debut
book, Badges, Bears, and
Eagles, was a 2013 “Book
of the Year” award final-
ist (ForeWord Reviews).
His second book, The
Game Warden’s Son, was
named “Best Outdoor Book
of 2016” by the Outdoor
Writers Association of
California.
Gridley Friends of the
Library will host the author
for a presentation and book
signing at the Gridley
Library on Thursday, June
23, at 7:00 p.m. The author
will also have copies of his
other books on hand.
Publisher’s Synopsis of
The Case of the Missing
Game Warden
Ve t e r a n N o r t h e r n
California game warden
Norman Bettis and his
wife, Martha, lived an
idyllic life in the small
Sacramento Valley farm
town of Gridley. On the
morning of December
13, 1956, Norman kissed
Martha on the forehead and
drove off to work. He had
no way of knowing he was
destined to stumble into a
rat’s nest of commercial
duck poachers and disap-
pear–patrol car and all.
Three years later, a gifted
eleven-year-old named
Henry Glance confronts
two goose poachers near
the Southern California
town of Temecula, pre-
venting them from
leaving before game war-
den Ned McCullough
arrives. Impressed with
the brave young man and
his compassion for wild-
life, McCullough suggests
he become a game war-
den when he grows up.
He also shares the story
of Warden Bettis’s strange
disappearance.
McCullough’s mournful
tale leaves a lasting impres-
sion on Henry as he grows
up, suffers disappointment,
works his way through
Chico State College, falls
hopelessly in love, and
eventually becomes a game
warden himself.
Unexpectedly, he’s
assigned to Warden Bettis’s
old patrol district.
While conducting a num-
ber of classic wildlife
investigations and honing
his skills, Glance remains
obsessed with his prede-
cessor’s untimely demise.
Unfazed by a mountain
of obstacles and deter-
mined to succeed where
so many others had failed,
Henry sets out on an
adventure-filled quest to
find the missing game
warden and solve the thir-
teen-year-old mystery of his
disappearance H
