Moscone and Moretti clash over 1974 redistricting plan
In Sacramento three years ahead of the 1974 governor race, Senate leader George R Moscone and Assembly Speaker Bob Moretti clash over reapportionment as district lines hinge on upcoming elections. Moscone seeks a "free ride" by redrawing a new district while Moretti resists manipulating districts. Fenton and Cusanovich acknowledge talks but deny speaker orders. Meanwhile Moscone hints a district favorable to him, with party strategizing across Senate Assembly and Congress. In Springfield, Dr Christopher Stuart, grandson of Abraham Lincoln's law partner, dies at 79 with services set in the capital.
