The bill now only authorizes 1.5 million workers to organize and bargain with officials, dropping deadlines and binding arbitration. Republican Deukmejian criticizes the move as a time bomb enabling massive dues and political power. The measure covers teachers professors police and fire fighters and other local and state workers except transit districts and federal staff.

The Senate approved a strong energy saving and emergency powers bill that could prompt a Ford veto. White House aides note Ford favors higher prices to curb energy use, but the House version remains in committee and could alter the measure before any veto decision. The bill blocks unilateral oil price control removal and aims to restore domestic oil prices to the January 31 level.

Williams clarifies Peers vote on Ukiah plant site
The Daily Journal corrects Wednesday reporting on a board of supervisors hearing regarding Esther Wagner's property south of Ukiah. A 3-1 vote found the negative declaration adequate, not a zoning change. The matter returns to the planning commission for a Agriculture to limited manufacturing rezoning. Burgess Williams, who voted no on the declaration, seeks more facts amid residents’ concerns over sewage disposal and road capacity. He nevertheless welcomed business growth in Ukiah.
