Water district hikes tax rate amid legal clash over water rights
Directors of the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District voted to raise the tax rate from eight to about seventeen cents and to increase expenditures for legal and engineering costs. The board approved funding for an attorney, boosted special services, moved reserves to a general emergency fund, and referenced potential litigation tied to the Gin Chow decision on upstream diversions. Andrew Petersen led the budget motion with support from Richard Henning and voiced concern over livestream obligations and downstream water rights. Stanley Hatch warned of long-standing, possibly illegal diversions by southcoast entities, suggesting malice in past actions.

Court urges overhaul of death penalty laws by states
Supreme Court in a 5 4 ruling struck down the death penalty as unconstitutional in the general sense and urged states to narrow crimes for capital punishment while providing stricter jury and judge standards. The decision left open that capital punishment might be permissible with clear standards, as dissenters noted. The court also allowed grand juries to question Congress members and ruled a former senator may be tried for bribery regardless of legislative process ties.
