State court officials are considering stopping at least two court construction projects and delaying several more to fill a budget gap.
According to the Administrative Office of the Court, a working group tasked by Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye to oversee the judicial branchâs facilities program is recommending several ways to proceed with âminimal delay on most projects in the court construction program as well as the elimination of two projects in Alpine and Sierra counties.â
Today is the day when tens of thousands of wanna-be zombies and ghouls around the world will growl and boogie in unison for the âThrill the World.â It is an international attempt to set the world-record for simultaneous dance to Michael Jacksonâs âThrillerâ song and video and Bishopâs undead will be joining in this year.
Erin Livingston organized the local dance and has been holding lessons all month long.
