Judge orders show cause against auditor in pay case
Presiding Superior Judge Floyd C. Dodson signs a show cause order returnable June 8 after a petition for writ of mandate in a school pay action directed against State Sen. Robert J. Lagomarsino. County officials say SB 333 on arbitration for police and firemen faces likely inaction as heard April 30 by the Senate committee. In North Carolina, write‑in Mayor-elect Benny Neill defeats Thomas Johnson, while Albert Eaves Jr. and Lorenzo Dall Arms are re‑elected. The California case seeks monthly wage payments to 1,345 classified county school employees under a 1970 statute, with Eaves opposing the change due to administrative conflict and timing.
