Welfare protest at governor's residence in Harrisburg
About 70 unemployed Pennsylvanians armed with completed job applications protested at Governor Robert Casey's residence in Harrisburg. They blocked traffic, sought to meet the governor, and learned he was inside. Casey backs the welfare changes which passed the Senate committee and would save $91 million in the first year. In Clearfield, the school district scrapped a planned graduation prayer after an ACLU threat, citing constitutional limits.
