The 1970 California Legislature session is labeled indecisive and unproductive due to election year politics. The Assembly releases a taxpayer funded 32 page Report to the People portraying hard working lawmakers, while critics call the document self serving and a guard for a tarnished image. 20,000 copies reportedly printed at a cost around $5,000, with a veto supplement issued to cover Reagan vetoes.
