Pasadena Star News, August 3, 1977 (Russel Goudy Murder)

Page from the Pasadena Star News newspaper (Pasadena, CA) from August 3, 1977 that has an article about 14 year old murder victim from Hacienda Heights, Russel John Goudy Jr. (sometimes his name is spelled Russell John Goudy Jr. – I am not sure which one is correct). Russell was last seen in Huntington Beach on July 17, 1977. On July 19, 1977, he was found strangled and in the nude in a remote area near Glendora Mountain Road about 2.5 miles above Sierra Madre Avenue. Like many young men at the time, he was known to hitchhike. I believe his murder is still unsolved but the case is no longer open with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (it’s possible I could be wrong about this).

$400-million spending
cut need told lawmakers
S A CR A M E N T O ( A P > - S t at e
legislator s wer e told Tuesday they would
hav e to mak e c uts in pr oper ty tax r elief
and school f inanc e proposals $400
million in f iv e year s, by one estimate.
They wer e giv en only two other
al t er nat i v es, b oth unat t r ac t i v e:
r educ tions in state pr ogr ams, mostly
health and welf ar e benef its f or the poor,
or a lax inc r ease.
Legislative Analy st A. Alan Post and
Gov . E dmund B r own J r . ' s f inanc e
dir ec tor , Roy Bell, agr eed that the
pr oper tylax- sc hoolf inanc e pac k age would
have to be cut or the state would r un out of
money within several year s.
N either man said how much of a cut
was needed. The amount of r educ tion
would depend on how f ast other state
pr ogr ams and r evenues grow and on
whic h v er sions of I he - b ills ar e b eing
discussed.
But' ac c or ding to f igur es pr ovided by
Post and Bell, a def ic it would occur under
a pac kage backed by the Democratic
gover nor by 1980-81, when it would be $225
million.
Thai f igur e would inc r ease lo 5404
million the nex t year and dr op to $120
million the f ollowing year .
Post indic ated the likely def ic it would
be much higher , however . He said the
f i gur es q uoted w er e b ased on an
unr ealistic assumption that over all state
spending c ould be held lo 10 per cent
gr owth a year . I t has aver aged 19 per cent
over the last f iv e years.
Bell said M onday the administr ation
was pr oposing to limit state spending to 8
per cent gr owth a year , a f igur e Post
called even mor e unr ealistic .
U ut Bell agr eed that the pr oper ty tax -
school f inanc e pac k age needed lo be cut.
He didn' t say how - muc h of a c ut was
needed, and said the ar eas of r educ tion
wer e up to ( he legislatur e, at least f or the
moment.
Two c onf er enc e c ommittees, , eac h
made up of thr ee member s f r om each
house, ar e c onsider ing r iv al multib illlon-
dollar pr oposals f or homeowner - r enter
r elief and school f inanc e r ef or m that
c ould deter mine state spending patter ns
f or year s to come.
Br own is b ac k ing a pr oper ty tax
proposal that would spend about $4.5
b illion over f ive year s and a school
f inanc e measur e of about $5 billion.
R iv al measur es on pr oper ty taxes
would spend mor e money , pr imar ily f or
low- inc ome persons, and inc lude some tax
r ef or m plans. The c ompeting school
f inanc e pr oposal would be less ex pensiv e
by deleting some r ef or m pr ogr ams Br own
f avor s.
Post r ec ommended r er tuc itig the
proposed pr oper ty tax r elief , which would
lake I he f or m of r eb ate c hec ks mailed to
homeowner s and r enter s.
' I think pr oper ty tax r elief goes the
wr ong way , " the legislatur e' s " v eter an
f isc al adv iser told r epor ter s. " I nstead, we
should be tak ing p r ogr ams of f the
pr oper ty tax base and pay f or them at the
state level. " '
Some of the pr oper ly tax r elief money .
Post said, should be shif ted to the school
f inanc e bill to r educe f unding inequities
among school distr ic ts, as r equir ed by the
slate Supr eme Cour t' s Ser r ano decision.
But pr essur e f or pr oper ty tax r elief is
expec ted to pr eser ve some f or m of dir ec t

Brown plan would put
tight lid on programs
S ACRAM EN TO ^A P ) - Gov. Edmund
Br own Jr . has issued a tentativ e spending
plan f or the next six year s that would
c lamp a tight lid on state pr ogr ams. '
Br own' s f inanc e dir ec tqr . Roy Bell,
r epor ted to the legislatur e this week that
Ihe Democ r atic gover nor was suggesting
aver age gr owth in c ur r ent slate pr ogr ams
of 8 per cent a y ear in gener al f und
spending f r om 1377-78 thr ough 1982-83.
T hat inc l udes only $200 million
additional each year f or expanded or new
pr ogr ams.
The plan would c ar r y the state to the
end of Br own' s second f our - y ear ter m, if
he is r e- elec ted nex t y ear .
The pr oposed spending lid, Bell said,
would leav e the max imum amount
av ailab le f or pr oper ty tax r elief and
school f inanc e r ef or m, which would not be
inc luded in Ihe 8 per c ent f igur e. He said it
would also allow a " prudent" sur plus
equal to 3 per c ent of r evenues each year .
K r om 1970-71 thr ough 1975-76, state
general f und spending aver aged mor e
than a 19 per cent incr ease, a f igur e
swelled hy a r ise of near ly 3 0 per c ent in
1973 -74, when the state launched a maj or
new pr oper ty tax r elief pr ogr am.
This year ' s over all spending inc r ease is
estimated at 14 per c ent.
L egislativ e A nal y st A . ' A l an Post
c r itic iz ed B r own' s pr oj ec tions, and
singled out Bell' s estimate that ( he stale
c ould limit the gr owth in health and
welf ar e spending lo less than 9 per c ent a
year .
Spending has gr own hy an aver age of 19
per c ent in health and 15 per cent in
welf ar e over the last f iv e year s, and
Brown has no pr ogr ams that c an be
expec ted lo slow that growth' . Post said.
Bell c onc eded that a limit on health
spending was dependent in par t on
legislativ e appr oval of a Br own- bac ked
pr oposal f or Ihe slate to r egulate hospital
r ales.
