California dairymen seek 3 to 4 cent milk hike
California dairymen asked the State Food and Agriculture Department for a 3 to 4 cent per half gallon price increase citing drought and higher costs. The request came at a two day hearing that drew sharp exchange with consumer groups who criticized the department’s statistics methods. A decision by Gov. Brown’s agriculture director is expected after weeks of review. Public Advocates and Consumers Union challenge the department’s data in a separate suit seeking to delay any action until calculations are revised.

Ward accuses the California State Board of Equalization of censoring an August 1972 audit of the Los Angeles County assessor’s office led by Philip Watson. He claims the board removed critical passages and that chairman William Bennett collaborated with the assessor’s office to suppress findings. Ward pledged to list additional omissions and criticized censorship in a letter to supervisors.
