Summary:

A news release from IMRU, a gay and lesbian radio program, concerns the resignation of John V. Briggs from the California Senate on Dec. 29, 1981. It repeats speculation by syndicated columnist Earl Waters that Briggs did so to avoid being subject to a new law, which would require him to donate surplus campaign funds to charity or refund them to donors. That law took effect two days later.
