Testing Carter in Louisiana
Frank Van Der Linden reports 30 year old Baton Rouge state representative Woody Jenkins will challenge Senator J Bennett Johnston in Louisiana as a test of Carter era politics. Jenkins brands Johnston as liberal in Washington but conservative at home and cites key votes to argue a rightward shift. The race, open to all contenders, could hinge on energy policy and tax cuts with millions spent.

Winchester City Faces Mixed 1977 Review by Mayor Bell
Mayor Bell told the Winchester city council that 1977 left the city in generally good condition with renovations at Handley High, library expansion, Rouss and Senseny Road parks, and a regional jail. Tax hikes lifted revenues, Route 37 was completed, and discussions on joint offices with county faced a stalled annexation clause. City county cooperation must improve in 1978.
