Yager backs housing limit plan for county
County Supervisor David Yager urged the board to back a proposed housing limitation ordinance to be placed before voters in a June 1978 countywide advisory election. The plan targets the south coast unincorporated area with emphasis on high density and low cost housing while leaving growth figures to later ordinance steps. Other south coast supervisors questioned its immediacy in meeting county housing needs.

California law allows dismissal for public homosexual conduct if it harms school welfare or effectiveness, with districts bearing proof of impact. Lompoc district policy bans discrimination but excluded sexual orientation from a recent contract after bargaining.
