Budget cuts hit Ed Reinecke staff in California hearing
In Sacramento a Democratic budget subcommittee trimmed 3 percent from Lt. Gov. Ed Reinecke’s personal staff, reducing the unit to 11 members and shifting two satellite agencies. The move, tied to removing political staffers blamed for backing Reinecke’s 1974 gubernatorial bid, was approved as part of the preliminary budget review by Assembly Ways and Means. Brown, who leads the subcommittee, defended the cuts as relocating personnel to nonpolitical roles within the Little Hoover Commission.

Court halts COs from getting alternate duty before draft date
In California a federal judge blocked draft boards statewide from assigning conscientious objectors to alternate service before induction. Judge Alfonso J. Zirpoli set a show cause hearing for March 27 in a class action led by Riverside County resident Lawrence Remley Levi. The suit argues 1-A COs are being singled out and denied due process and equal protection as the nationwide draft freeze continues.

State wage hikes gain approval in California subcommittee
A California Assembly Ways and Means subcommittee approved 213.5 million dollars in state employee pay raises. The package includes 7.5 percent for civil servants and 12.6 percent for state college and university faculty, higher than Gov Reagan proposed.
