Y2K U.S. census breakdown: counting heads is hard to do
Article Abstract:
The US Census Bureau is in the middle of the squabble over the statistical sampling which will have a great impact over how federal funds will be divided between localities and states and how political boundaries will be drawn in 2000. The issue is of primary significance to California where the undercount is expected to reach 2 million, which translates to about two or three congressional seats. The problems faced by the Census Bureau include the increasing number of people who do not fill out census forms and the increasing number of ethnic and racial minorities that are not counted.

Making an end run around term limits
Article Abstract:
Senators, Tom Hayden and Richard Mountjoy, are both trying to find a way around term limits. Hayden wants to do it by getting back into the Assembly and he has been looking at Assembly districts. Mountjoy is disputing a ruling by the secretary of state, Bill Jones, who insists that his term is over in 2000 and he may sue Jones in order to be able to stay longer.
