Moscone lauds San Francisco election defeat of term limiting measures
In San Francisco Mayor George Moscone hailed the defeat of Proposition B to force an early election and Proposition A to end at large supervisor elections. Voter turnout was over 53 percent as Prop T already approved last November takes effect this fall. Prop B would have created 11 district seats with citywide voting and required majority for office. Prop A would return to at large elections. Freitas backed district representation and called the results a repudiation of disruption. Barbagelata accused the city’s political machine after losing Prop B and vowed to resign if it passed.

Judges press suit over salary limit law in California
Retired Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William Levet leads judges filing a constitutional challenge to Gov. Brown's pay cap law. State Controller Ken Cory says he will follow the law and forego Sept increases despite an attorney general opinion that the cap is unconstitutional as applied to most judges. The measure would freeze salaries this year and cap future hikes at 5 percent. In a separate Illinois case, Lake County Coroner Robert Babcox condemns a sideshow exhibit of preserved infant remains as illegal and orders an exhibitor to court.
