In April, 1967, they flew to Vietnarn for the Defense Department and the USO for three weeks. On their return, they decided to make their home in Los Angeles, and Salli moved in with Sandi and her parents in Northridge. “We didn’t want to work just to be working,” Sandi reported. “So we took our time and worked on arrangements, preparing for our sessions, and then we appeared for two weeks with Jack Jones in Lake Tahoe. oie found it was a lot of fun, and so rewarding to know that people who heard us, ered likdd us and wanted to hear mee” Sandi continued. eek girls shunned the usual little denghtelibe so common to young singers just getting started.

The only general tax increase enacted by the 1971 Session was a $2.00 per barrel increase in the beer tax, expected to produce an additional $750,000 per year. Comfortable Surplus Foundation analysts conclude that the general fund will have sufficient resources to meet all of its commitments and still complete the 1971-71 fiscal year with a comfortable surplus. Based on the revenue estimates contained in the Governor's budget and the spending authorizations made by the 1971 Legisiature, the general fund will conclude the 1971-72 fiscal year with a surplus of at least $1.5 million. Moreover, recent collection trends ind.cate that the budget revenue estimates may be conservative, and the 197172 ending balance in the general fund could reach $3.5 million to $4.5 million. The uniform school fund, on the other hand, may not be able to meet all of its 1971-72 commitments unless there is an upward adjustmentin the state property tax or added funds are derived from someother source. Based on revenue estimates contained in the Governor's budget and continuation of a 7.2 mill state property tax levy, the uniform scnool fund would be about $5.6 million short in meeting its commitments for next year, This would require a 2.9 mill increase in the state property tax. Of course, if actual revenues exceed original budget estimates, the uniform school fund shortage and the added property tax required would be reduced correspondingly. Al-l. MAPLETO!
