Supervisor slashes salaries to offset budget shortfall
Orange County Supervisor Laurence J. Schmit of Garden Grove said he and his aides will work next month for $1 per week due to an overdrawn office budget. His biweekly pay would be 1014, aides earn 805, 763, and 596, with two secretaries at 483 and 328. He aims to cover a 12000 deficit by fiscal year end, but the auditor says payroll checks were prepared and no written agreement exists.

State high court limits speedy-trial dismissal for prejudice
California Supreme Court ruled that felony charges can be dismissed for lack of a speedy trial if prejudice from the delay is shown. The court, in a 5-2 decision, rejected the Crocketts claim that their constitutional right to a speedy trial was denied. The burden to prove prejudice rests with the defense when charges are refiled, and the couple failed to show such prejudice.

A CMA spokesman said repeated requests to the Reagan administration for funds to empower the medical board’s discipline and investigations were rejected. Officials and budget watchdogs recalled no such requests or attempts to exempt the board from hiring freezes, despite doctors' claims of year after year lobbing for funding.
