LONG BEACH — Amid another round of deep cuts, Long Beach Health Officer Helene Calvet has resigned, taking a job with the Orange County Health Agency.
Calvet, who has been with the Health Department for 11 years, would not comment on her resignation, effective Aug. 25, but she said the cuts were one of the reasons for her decision.

Arias said the savings for the current round would be about $1.3 million, or about a 2 percent drop in staffing — some filled and some vacated slots.

“This just in,” begin the radio spots, which started airing in June, “Texas Gov. Rick Perry is urging Vernon’s 1,800 employers to move their 55,000-plus jobs from California to Texas.” Beneath the voiceover, an emergency siren wails.
When it comes to attracting jobs, are Perry and Texas really such a force to be reckoned with?
