State Senate Democrats call caucus futile effort
SACRAMENTO 14 The Senate s veteran Democratic leader said Wednesday that liberal senators plans to form a party caucus to challenge leadership are a futile effort. The 11 Democrats organized a Senate Democratic caucus Tuesday to oppose bipartisan, old guard control. Burns said the move unlikely to oust him and warned the party margins require bipartisan coalitions to accomplish anything. A temporary caucus chairman noted aims to take stands on Reagan era budget and tax programs. Burns maintained no caucus has been used in his tenure and may limit participation.

Solon Blames Reagan For Defeated Calif Water Fluoridation Bill
Solon Vasconcelos accuses Governor Reagan of influencing the Assembly Public Health Committee to kill the fluoridation proposal. The bill failed on a split voice vote after hours of testimony. Vasconcelos said the bill would have passed without Reagan's influence. Proponents argued mass fluoridation is a long term remedy for tooth decay and lack of dental care.
