Nixon denies jail term promise in Watergate case
White House says President Nixon did not offer a shortened jail term for silence from Watergate conspirator James W. McCord. McCord testified that E Howard Hunt spoke of executive clemency after a year in jail if he pled guilty and stayed silent, but the White House insisted no such discussion occurred. McCord testified about money for legal fees and later said Hunt urged silence. Hunt pleaded guilty and McCord refused.

Supervisors Lift North County Burning Ban in Limited Fashion
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to lift the outdoor burning ban in unincorporated north county areas, allowing limited burns in one and two family zones on designated periods. The move, led by Supervisor Curtis Tunnell and Board Chair Francis Beattie, aims to help residents dispose of yard debris while South Coast restrictions remain unchanged. A Santa Barbara councilman and air pollution official urged against the change, noting potential increased emissions and questioning fairness given industry rules.
