Dade County Repeals Gay Rights Ordinance In Surprise Victory
In a Tuesday special election Dade County voters backed Anita Bryant and repealed a gay rights provision within the Fair Housing and Employment Act by 69.3 percent to 30.6 percent. Bryant praised the result calling for a nationwide fight against similar laws while Jean O Leary of the National Gay Task Force condemned the backlash as ignorance and immorality. The vote cost taxpayers about $350000 and spurred potential federal court action from coalition leaders.

Carter energy tax credit faces uphill fight in House
The House Ways and Means Committee narrowly voted 13 to 12 to keep the Carter administration's tax credit of up to 100 dollars for home insulation and energy saving devices. Critics say the proposal widens tax code favoring the well to do, while supporters warn against harming energy reform. In the Senate energy panel, John OLeary argued deregulation could shift up to 20 billion dollars in annual revenue from consumers to producers by 1985, a figure challenged by Senator Bennett Johnston who urged precise math.
