Seven page report urges turning off lights to save costs
A seven page report to the California Legislature from the General Services Department concludes it is cheaper to turn lights off when not needed. The study finds about 50 percent savings by burning lamps 12 hours daily versus 24 hours and around 33 percent by 16 hours. It notes daily costs of 1.2 cents for continuous burning and 0.62 of a penny for half time, with economies starting after 151 minutes of continuous darkness. Assemblyman John Burton initiated the study last May 14 to address lights left on in state offices. The cost of the study was not disclosed, compiled by regular crews without outside consultants.

Los Angeles authorities outline a campaign to place the death penalty on the November 7 ballot. District Attorney Joseph Busch coordinates with State Sen. George Dukmejian and about 100 police agencies to collect about 520,000 signatures, with 280,000 in Los Angeles County by June 2.

Constitution protects nudists rights to assemble nude
In a California appeal ruling a three judge panel held that the constitutional right of assembly includes nude gatherings. The court said nudity is a form of personal non verbal expression and may be protected by free speech guarantees. The case involved growth centers defined as places where three or more non family members gather nude and operators charged for lack of licenses. The decision, 2-1, found the right of assembly protected from indirect restraints eroding it.
