California considers marijuana penalty cut and public employee bargaining
California lawmakers tackle a SB95 to set a $100 fine for possession up to one ounce of marijuana, with harsher penalties for more than an ounce. The bill also sparks debate on extending collective bargaining and the right to strike to 1.9 million public employees as Senate committees weigh support and opposition ahead of a March hearing.

A hostile crowd of about 900 demonstrators at the Sacramento Capitol challenged Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. and Sen. John V. Tunney during a weekend rally demanding more jobs. Brown urged sacrifices and warned against relying solely on government spending while attacking the savings and loan industry over housing loans. The exchange included a confrontation with substitute teacher Kitty Kelly over funding for schools and a push for federal money to revive the economy.

Brown halts Nixon home funding in San Clemente
Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr rejected a $117 000 request from San Clemente for federal safe streets money to protect ex president Richard Nixon. The administration said the grant did not fit the law enforcement concept and would fund routine policing rather than protection. Over $500 000 had already gone to the city’s police department in recent years. In Lancaster, Academy Award winner George Stevens died at 74 from a heart attack while vacationing with his wife Joan. Stevens won Oscars for A Place in the Sun and Giant and began as a camera operator at Hal Roach Studios in the 1920s.
