Governor Reagan had signed it amid criticisms of compulsory busing.

Escaped convict captured after high speed chase in Fullerton
Police recovered the wrecked car driven by James Harvey, an escaped San Quentin inmate who abducted four people in Novato and released them during a state wide flight. Harvey was injured yesterday after a chase and crash in Anaheim while he freed another hostage. In welfare notes, January 186,227 recipients averaged 181.36 monthly under Aid to the Disabled, up from 164,059 and 128.34 previously, as the governor hints at reforms shifting AFDC financing to counties and boosting local tax burdens by about 22 million. The plan also tightens eligibility, raises parental shares, and tightens residency rules while spreading earned income over 12 months.

Duffy Pursues Rescission of Reagan Medi-Cal Cuts in California
Republican Assemblyman Gordon W. Duffy won early House approval for a hearing on a bill to restore select Medi-Cal services for foster and crippled children and some mentally ill adults. The measure, drawn from a bipartisan committee, would offset costs by state funding for shifts in county tax rolls this year. Burton’s Democratic effort to restore all services failed, boosting Duffy's chances by targeting only the most harmful cutbacks while preserving Reagan administration savings.
