CHULA VISTA (CNS) - A Chula Vista church that challenged California's COVID-19 restrictions in a legal fight that went before the U.S. Supreme Court has filed an amended complaint in its bid to see churches reopened during the pandemic.South Bay United Pentecostal Church and its pastor, Arthur Hodges III, filed the new complaint last week in San Diego federal court, nearly two months after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold COVID-19 restrictions placed on religious gatherings by Gov. Gavin Newsom.At the time, the church accused the state of arbitrarily allowing certain sectors considered essential to stay open, while discriminating against religious institutions, a move they claimed "intentionally denigrated California churches and pastors and people of faith by relegating them to third- class citizenship."California imposed restrictions this month on a number of indoor activities due to a spike in COVID-19 cases, and the church is seeking an injunction that will allow it to open under the same standards as other sectors when those businesses are allowed to reopen.This time, the church renews its objections while also taking aim at alleged favoritism toward the police protests that began in late May following the Memorial Day Minneapolis death of George Floyd."When the public sentiment began to favor race-based political protest instead of compliance with the pandemic restrictions, public officials were all too eager to grant a de facto exception for those favored protestors," the complaint states. "This favoritism has caused amazing harm in the form of a general loss of confidence by the American people in the merits of the pandemic restrictions at all."The church again says that a number of secular industries were allowed to reopen, while alleging they may have presented more of an infection risk than places of worship.It also takes issue with restrictions Newsom placed on churches when they were allowed to reopen, including attendance caps of 100 people or 25% occupancy, and prohibitions against singing indoors. The injunction South Bay United seeks would also prevent California from banning singing or chanting during worship services, or issuing any other "allegedly neutral ban...that clearly targets worship."As in its earlier filings, the church states that indoor services are needed for proper worship and that tele-conferenced or outdoor services are "inadequate substitutes."In the amended complaint, the church states its preference that "the entire congregation meet at once" and that placing capacity restrictions on services "would be like holding a family reunion in three sessions."In its allegations of discriminatory practices, the church alleges "ordering that `worshippers may not gather' is not different than -- and equally repugnant as -- ordering that `African-Americans may not gather' or `Chinese may not gather,"' in addition to comparing the restrictions on worship to "providing specific (mandatory) guidance for heterosexuals, homosexuals and other sexual minorities."The complaint also alleges the state's shutdown orders are too restrictive in the face of a "generally non-lethal disease."South Bay United's attorneys allege that death rates from COVID-19 are declining and that California's death rate "has largely stabilized."While California recently overtook New York as the state with the highest number of COVID-19 cases nationwide, and ranks fourth in total deaths, the church states California has the 30th-highest death rate in the nation, while also alleging that death rates in San Diego County have been low."In a society hostile to religion, banning worship might be justified to prevent deaths, but not common, flu-like symptoms," the complaint states.Both a San Diego federal judge and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the church's challenges, leading to the U.S. Supreme Court's rejection in late May in a 5-4 decision.Chief Justice John G. Roberts wrote in an opinion denying the request that "Although California's guidelines place restrictions on places of worship, those restrictions appear consistent with the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Similar or more severe restrictions apply to comparable secular gatherings, including lectures, concerts, movie showings, spectator sports and theatrical performances, where large groups of people gather in close proximity for extended periods of time. And the order exempts or treats more leniently only dissimilar activities, such as operating grocery stores, banks and laundromats, in which people neither congregate in large groups nor remain in close proximity for extended periods."The majority opinion noted: "The precise question of when restrictions on particular social activities should be lifted during the pandemic is a dynamic and fact-intensive matter subject to reasonable disagreement. Our Constitution principally entrusts `[t]he safety and the health of the people' to the politically accountable officials of the states to guard and protect."Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh wrote the dissenting opinion joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch."I would grant the church's requested temporary injunction because California's latest safety guidelines discriminate against places of worship and in favor of comparable secular businesses. Such discrimination violates the First Amendment," according to the opinion, which also noted that "comparable secular businesses" were not subject to occupancy caps. 5507

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) - Concerned citizens made their voices heard Monday night at a Sweetwater Union High School District board meeting in which the district’s financial problems are discussed.Many residents in the South Bay have expressed outrage over the district’s myriad fiscal issues, pointing specifically at the financial mismanagement of salaries and a disproportionate ratio of administrators to teachers.Data provided by public pay and pension database Transparent California, showed 1,796 Sweetwater district employees making 0,000 and above in 2017 salaries. Many of those making six figures are administrators and other non-teaching employees.In 2017, the district paid out 9.97 million in salaries and benefits to its employees. Two similarly sized school districts in California paid out nearly 20% less than SUHSD in total pay and benefits, between 5 and 3 million, according to the data. SUHSD was shown to have 2,000 more employees than the other two district; 6,391 compared to about 4,500 for the other districts.SUHSD paid over .3 million in overtime to about 841 district employees during the year. When it comes to overtime, 10News found:One of the OT recipients was a payroll technician who banked ,414.19, bringing their salary up from ,000 base pay to over ,000 in total pay and benefitsBus drivers were among the biggest overtime benefactors, with Sweetwater paying over 0,000 in overtime to about 90 employeesThree district bus drivers earned over ,000 in overtime each, bringing their 2017 total pay and benefits to over ,000Another group that benefited from overtime pay were district budget analysts, who totaled over ,000 in overtime as a groupA locksmith supervisor added a total of ,623 in OT to his 6.5K salarySweetwater’s finances have been under scrutiny since it was revealed the district made a million miscalculation for its ’18-’19 budget earlier this year. District officials previously said its 2018-2019 school year budget shortfall was due to expenses from staff raises, including costs of substitute teachers and an unexpected million expense for utilities.Even with a revised budget, it was later reported in an independent audit that Sweetwater’s budget problems were worse than what was originally predicted due to the following “significant factors”:“Internal borrowings that reflect the significant cash flow shortages in the General Fund”“Unsustainable salary, benefits, and pension increases that create significant deficit spending”“Declining local enrollment of students”The district has been borrowing money faster than it can pay back, taking money from local development taxes, also known as Mello-Roos fees, according to a Dec. 3 report from The Voice of San Diego. This fiscal year alone, the district will borrow million -- in addition to the million they already owe.At an October 8 board meeting, SUHSD staff offered suggestions to help reduce the debt such as energy cost savings, freezing unfilled positions, and a reduction in the work year for all management. In an email sent to families following that Oct. 8 meeting, at least two schools announced they would be cutting after school programs and their 2019 summer school sessions.More recently, the district announced it would allow nearly 300 employees to retire early in an effort to balance the budget. The school board also voted to cut 34 temporary teaching positions in the district's adult education program.Moving forward, auditors recommended the district evaluate the procedures in which it reviews its own finances. The audit goes on to suggest those assigned with monitoring finances “should have a clear understanding of accruals and the journal entries required to account for them properly.”Auditors also urged Sweetwater to “always perform timely bank reconciliations to ensure that all activities have been properly accounted for and that there are no errors posted.”Sweetwater officials acknowledged not having “tight internal controls or warning systems in place” in balancing its budget. 4103
