Welfare Medi Cal bills pass stiffest tests yet
In Sacramento the Senate backed a Democratic welfare reform bill despite GOP opposition while approving a companion Medi Cal reform. The welfare plan, trimmed to a simple majority measure, faced party lines as Beilenson denounced it yet supported passage to continue work in the Assembly. The Medi Cal bill, endorsed by Reagan, Campbell, and Moretti, would cut 224 million from a 1.8 billion program and extend coverage to 800000 more people.

Senate OKs Capitol quake safety study
SACRAMENTO AP The Senate voted 31 to 2 to require a study of the earthquake safety of California's Capitol building. Sen Bradley argued the report would prove the old wing unsafe in a severe quake and trigger public alarm. Sen Whetmore disagreed, saying no building 114 years old should be singled out to avoid fear. Sen Alquist, sponsor, said decades of remodeling weakened the Capitol and it sits near three major faults.
