Reagan Dedicates Cal Expo in Sacramento
Governor Reagan dedicates the 43 million California Exposition and Fair complex in Sacramento, unveiling a bronze plaque at the fountain site as about 200 attendees witness the start of a planned year round venue. Economists forecast 32 million in regional spending over 12 years post opening in June 1968. The 630 acre complex, built with state funds, will be operated by the California Exposition and Fair Corporation and will host the state fair within an expanded multi-purpose site featuring a race track, golf courses, a lake, theaters, and a year round exhibition center.

Pitchess Presses Budget Boost Again for Sheriff's Force
Sheriff Peter J. Pitchess renews his demand for about 13 million more to expand the department by 1 200 deputies. He says funds could come without higher tax rates, with most hires aiding services countywide such as narcotics and arson investigations. He argues only 35 percent would go to unincorporated areas and criticizes a county association for opposing the plan.
