Equity concerns over postal rate hike debated
After a postal rate increase, readers questioned the fairness of the 35 percent rise for first class and 5 percent for third class mail. A Ukiah postmaster advised contacting the postmaster general, who said first class makes up over half of volume while third class, or junk mail, accounts for a quarter. He argued third class is heavier and must be handled, with support for forwarding or returning first class mail. The piece notes the postal service runs a two and a half billion dollar annual deficit and urges readers to contact Congress.

Sisk backs linkage of California water projects in a single measure
Rep. B F Sisk met with Gov Reagan and officials to push a plan linking the Peripheral Canal with the East Side Canal in one federal authorization. Livermore said the administration favors the Peripheral Canal but fears bundling the costly East Side Canal with it. The senator suggested support for the East Side in exchange for authorization.

Should city island gain a free ride on annexation bills
Sacramento debate centers on whether city islands near urban areas should benefit from city financed improvements. Assemblyman Knox proposed streamlined annexation rules lowering petition thresholds from 25 to 5 or 10 percent, but the Senate local government committee rejected the measure. Knox, veteran chair, announced withdrawal and said the Senate must act. The bill would have eased annexation by unincorporated areas and altered notice and election requirements.
