City council weighs fire service contract with county
At the last City Council meeting the council considered contracting with the county for fire services or staying with the city. A motion to contract was made but no final action taken, while a second motion to pursue the county plan with the $123000 city construction cost removed passed unanimously. Citizens expressed support for county service, but council indecision left the issue unresolved and prompted criticism of inaction.

A Conservative Take on the State Public Defender Office
Senator H L Richardson attacks the State Public Defender's Office arguing it grew from a 75000 budget in 1975 to 7 million with 158 employees by 1983. He alleges it fights bills that would reduce criminal good time, claims taxpayers pay for legal appeals and welfare, and recalls Paul Halvonic rising from defender to appellate judge amid a marijuana case scandal.
