Sacramento governor Ronald Reagan outlined a plan to freeze 1970-71 budgets at current levels and trim departmental programs. He aims to lower state employment from 185,000 through attrition, with some layoffs if needed, and cautioned the effort is not campaign-related. Caspar Weinberger noted some departments could gain operating funds if extra requests are approved.
SACRAMENTO Democratic Assemblyman John YP Quimby of Rialto urged Governor Reagan to call a special tax reform session after Speaker Monagan blocked further action on lower house bills. Quimby proposed the session run with the veto session, starting 30 days after adjournment, to end the tax reform logjam.
Sacramento Assembly Criminal Procedure Committee killed a Senate bill to let cities regulate topless and bottomless shows, which would have invalidated San Francisco's gun-control ordinance. The measure failed on a split vote as proponents argued for state preemption clarity amid legal conflicts.
Three Democratic legislators accused Gov. Reagan's administration of fostering conditions that led to a homosexual assault on a 13 year old mental patient at Napa State Hospital. They blamed personnel cutbacks for staff shortages that allowed the incident and warned the situation could worsen without action.
California measure to ban DDT by 1972 and create environmental pesticide controls was killed by the Assembly Agriculture Committee amid industry opposition.
