In other words, California is ready to fight for a future the Trump administration is incapable of understanding, or even seeing. Lots of folks could see this fight developing over recent years, as the Trump administration has gone head-to-head with California government officials on key policy differences. Or as Gov. Gavin Newsom put it last week, “California won’t ever wait for permission from Washington to protect the health and safety of children and families.” It’s a sentiment apparently shared by top officials in those friendly states. The deal agreed to in July between California and four of the world’s largest automakers — Ford, Honda, BMW and Volkswa- gen — skipped over the Trump administration’s plan to freeze emissions and fuel economy standards adopted under Obama at 2021 levels. The automakers agreed to reduce emissions by 3.7 percent a year starting with the 2022 model year, through 2026. That’s still less than the 4.7-percent annual reductions through 2025 under the Obama administration standards. The U.S. auto industry generally agrees with the California position, in large part because they fear freezing fuel efficiency amounts will render U.S. vehicles uncompetitive on the domestic and global markets. All of which raises questions about the administration’s mo- tives in a battle with California and those like-minded states. According to auto makers, Trump’s rules could hurt auto makers’ bottom line. And again, we have to ask where members of Congress are hiding during this battle, and why? Republicans may be worried about alienating Trump’s voters, but where is the outrage from Democrats?

PERSONAL FINANCE | ADVICE Avoid retirement mistakes Here are some pitfalls to steer clear of as you make your post-career plans

LIZ WESTON | NerdWallet ne of the biggest retirement mistakes you can make is not realizing what Oyou don’t know. I regularly hear from people in or near retirement who misunderstand how So- cial Security works, dramatically under- estimate life expectancies or fail to plan for big expenses, such as long-term care or taxes. These aren’t folks looking for advice. They’ve already made up their minds and want to argue about financial planning precepts, such as when to take Social Se- curity or how much retirement is likely to cost. But what they think they know just isn’t so. The reality is that most people don’t get good, objective financial advice before they retire, says actuary Steve Ver- non, consulting research scholar at the Stanford Center on Longevity. Many people simply wing it, figuring that if they have a Social Security check and a little savings, somehow everything will work out. Unfortunately, retirement is compli- cated, and your decisions can have ir- reversible consequences. Talking with a professional — ideally a fee-only financial planner — could save you from a costly 2 Ignoring your spouse 4 Carrying debt into retirement mistake, including any of the following.

00 1 SPORTS Sunday, September 22, 2019 | santamariatimes.com | SECTION B Plenty of work left for Nipomo’s stadium KENNY CRESS [email protected]‌ ‌Nipomo’s new-look stadium finally made its debut Friday night. After construction delays forced Nipomo to move its first two home games to other San Luis Obispo County locations, the Titans played Arroyo Grande on their new grass field. The Eagles won 21-6. A new stadium scoreboard is in place on the north end of the field. Wording on the right side of the scoreboard reads, “Jeff McNeil, Nipomo High School graduating class of 2010.” McNeil is having a banner season for Major League Base- ball’s New York Mets.
