Budget stalemate still blocks California state budget
California remains without a formal budget as lawmakers clash over surplus estimates and funding. State Controller Houston Flournoy would determine the exact surplus, while Caspar Weinberger sought the figure. The impasse delays appropriations beyond the July 1 start of the fiscal year, with agencies operating on credit. A proposed compromise of 120 million for schools and any surplus was rejected, prompting conference committees and potential delays into a new budget cycle. In Honolulu, U S Army troops bound for Hawaii from Vietnam under Nixon withdrawal plans are due July 18, with a small advance party from the 9th Infantry Division.
