Retirement taxes and credits stir Santa Barbara board
County supervisors studied retirement intricacies and a new interpretation of public service credit costs. Eight employees face higher payments or reduced pensions, with a minimum 6 228 to straighten out. The board delayed a final decision for a recapitulation and possible voting implications. Nearby, Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District may seek a future tax increase without formal approvals, while awaiting council action.

Board rejects school aid over agricultural preserve losses
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors rejected a request from Santa Barbara High School District for financial aid tied to reduced assessed valuation from the county's agricultural preserve program. The 4-0 vote follows concerns that approving aid could invite more claims and that the drop represents a small portion of district valuation.

Soviet draft dodger surfaces after 26 years in hiding
Genrykas Kayota, a 45 year old Lithuanian, answered his draft call 26 years late after hiding in a root cellar in his village when orders arrived in 1944. He says he sought to come out in the mid 1950s but his mother forced him to stay hidden. Amnesty once offered for WWII dodgers does not erase the need for rehabilitation with society.
