Officials warn of a failing sugar industry, 250 000 jobs dependent on cane, and a 28 million annual revenue loss, with elections looming in 1978 and possible strain on regional ties.

Judge Grillo Faces Demotion Over Airline Ticket Incident
Los Angeles presiding municipal court judge Joseph R. Grillo faces possible removal from the role due to arresting a county worker for refusing to issue airline tickets for two judges. The incident involved a $53 request to Sacramento lobbying for more municipal judges, led to contempt charges against James Czarnicki, and sparked a formal call by fellow judges for a meeting on Grillo’s conduct. Grillo later flew to Sacramento to lobby, with ongoing discussions about the court’s credibility and governance.
