California Governor Brown has appointed a mix of women, Blacks, and Mexican Americans to the bench, with 67 percent of appointees from minority groups. Brown rejects quotas but seeks talent and open-minded judges as he fills 70 vacancies, noting the barrier of eligibility among many minority lawyers and the need for judicial reform.
Gov Brown named Roy Bell a 58 year old 29 year Finance Department veteran as director of finance. Bell has served as acting director since Jan 6 and will be sent to the state Senate for confirmation to the 4340 a year job. He helped draft the 1975 78 budget and will work on the 1978 71 budget for next January.
Governor Brown told State Department of Transportation officials that declining revenues may force layoffs and cutbacks in highway projects. He noted that revenues from the T-cent gasoline tax are not keeping pace with rising costs, and maintenance budgets may shrink. Best said layoffs may be announced by week’s end, with efforts to place workers in government jobs. Brown warned of sacrifice but urged continued effort and hinted at considering a second term and selective freeway projects to provide jobs.
Assemblyman Bob Wilson said Wednesday that ex state auditor general Marvey Rose will not receive July pay and still owes the legislature $637 in unauthorized salary. Wilson, chair of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, said Rose improperly awarded himself 14 months of pay raises totaling $3,594.
