Political Rivalry Rises Over Taxes and Growth in County
In Long Beach a fierce supervisor race pits incumbent William A. Smith against Herbert C. Legg. Tax records are challenged as Legg supporters claim Legg championed parks and coastal development while Smith defends a tax cut trajectory during his first five years. Campaign activities include GOP warnings on unauthorized fund solicitations and endorsements of bond and candidate positions.
