Donna Visits Gaetano's Restaurant
|
|
As I walked under the beautiful manicured archway and through the patio of Gaetano's Restaurant, I immediately smelled garlic and a wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen as I opened the front door of the restaurant. As I entered, I remembered why I enjoy dining at Gaetano’s Restaurant. The location is pristine, the staff is courteous and the atmosphere is inviting. And, the food is so good!
Warmly greeted by Vince Giuliano, owner and operator, I was invited to sit in a booth near a window. Always intrigued by the many photographs on the restaurant walls, I asked Vince to explain who were in the photos. Vince stated that every picture on the wall is a member of his family. He pointed out various pictures and explained who was portrayed and the importance of each one.

Newsom Proposes $144 Billion California Budget With Focus On Education, Building Reserves

|
California’s booming economy and fiscal health have offered Gov. Gavin Newsom a rare opportunity: to propose a state budget with something for nearly everyone.
Newsom on Thursday proposed a $144 billion general fund spending plan in his first budget, a 4 percent increase.

"This is the good times," Newsom said Thursday. "But the key in a progressive tax system with the volatility that we experience — that needs to be addressed, but will not be a short-term endeavor — is to stack away as much money as you can and pay down as much debt as you can."

TACC Convenes Businesses for Annual Labor Law Update
|
|
A host of new California employment laws took effect on January 1. Many of the new laws stem from the #MeToo movement and strengthen harassment protections, while others clear up ambiguities in laws that were passed last year, such as the ban on asking about an applicant's salary history. And a few make small changes or may only affect employers in specific industries
.
The TACC proudly presented its annual Labor Law Update this week, with many members attending to hear from expert panelists and take advantage of the question and answer segment of the event. Special thanks to John Heffernan, TACC Chairman of the Board, for moderating the panel; and to expert panelists Karl Schmidt, General Counsel, Parker, Milliken, Clark, O'Hara and Samuelian; Ellenmary Michel, VP Worldwide Human Resources, Pelican Products, Inc.; and Mistee Ruiz, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, Chief People Officer, Facio, Your People Solutions.
