City Faces State Subvention Cuts in Shafter Budget Plan
City Administrator August Caires says Shafter will cut expenditures to offset state subvention reductions. The plan follows California's $26 billion budget signing and contemplates possible October 1 funding measures that could worsen or mitigate impacts. The 1982-83 close showed revenues at 91.08 percent of projections while expenditures ran 97.2 percent, reflecting a weak economy and overestimated expectations.

Recreation shows Bambi to 225 at Veterans Hall
A sellout crowd of about 225 children and parents attended the Shafter Recreation and Park District showing of Walt Disney's Bambi at the Veterans Hall. LAPD secretary Alannah Bill, who selects films, says the district offers movies due to lack of a local theatre and transportation issues for parents. The attraction drew praise for not being on cable and for kids loving cartoons, and officials warned that seating may run out as crowds grow.
