Delaware County leader Padula heated a public hearing by challenging legislators over using general fund money for senior citizen programs. About a hundred people applauded as he faulted funding choices and warned lawmakers that salaries come from that same fund. Fellow senator Bell and representative figures defended or questioned the approach, while proposals to fund senior programs faced scrutiny amid fiscal debate.
