California lawmakers weigh gerrymander ruling impact
Sacramento legislators faced a still unresolved reapportionment problem as a U S Supreme Court decision suggested partisan gerrymandering may be permissible. A bipartisan Senate Assembly redistricting bill sits with Governor Reagan who likely will veto the Assembly portion. The court ruling could influence the state Supreme Court to view the plan more favorably and a three judge panel may be asked to recom mend a new map by August 31.

Reagan aides defend $970 ashtray purchase for office
Sacramento taxpayers paid 970.20 for 24 antique bronze urn ashtrays ordered last November from a Sacramento store for the governor's office. Aide Clyde Walthall called it a good buy, noting a 30 percent discount and use in council meetings. Store spokesman Vern Davis said the urns cost 38.50 each plus tax and were a sensible purchase. Reagan, who does not smoke, is known for budget cuts.
