Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry is coming back to donor-rich California to raise money, with a private fundraiser in Sacramento next week.
The Texas governor is scheduled to attend a luncheon on Dec. 1 at The Park Ultra Lounge, 15th and L streets.
A photograph with Perry will run you $1,000, according to an invitation. Lunch is $500 per couple.
Perry's hosts include Republican Sen. Tom Berryhill of Oakdale and Assemblymen Dan Logue of Linda and Jim Nielsen of Gerber.
Also listed as hosts are Michael and Dean Spanos, sons of Alex Spanos, the Stockton developer and Republican benefactor.
Perry, a former frontrunner, was polling fifth in Iowa in a Bloomberg News poll released last week ahead of Tuesday night's CNN debate co-hosted by the Heritage Foundation and American Enterprise Institute.
>GOVERNOR WATCH
Gov. Jerry Brown is on the road – vacationing out of state, according to his aides – but his staffers won't say where or for how long. The trip is his third out of state since he took office in January. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is acting governor while Brown is gone. So, where's Jerry? Post your answers on Capitol Alert's Facebook page at facebook.com/ capitolalert.
>WORTH REPEATING
"It doesn't take a degree in political science to realize that if all these tax measures appear on the ballot, they would be self-defeating, scaring the taxpayers to pull the NO lever and be done with it."
JOEL FOX, publisher of the Fox & Hounds Daily politics blog, opining on the many competing tax proposals being floated in California

Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
• Don't flag other users' comments just because you don't agree with their point of view. Please only flag comments that violate these guidelines.
