Assemblymen push to raise the spending package but fail except for a hospital aid amendment as many lawmakers cite district stakes.

A gas tax bill to fund roads is promised, while a split county allocation is debated. A school funding increase is proposed but unlikely to pass. The piece condemns press attacks during Watergate and notes Nixon’s influence on 1972 media coverage.
The piece details a broad rise in food prices from September 1972 to September 1973 with economy items up about 3 percent and luxury items more.

A spokesman counters by blaming inflation and price controls rather than mismanagement.
