A Fox Foundation study argues California paid $1.395 billion in federal aid while receiving $1.334 billion last year. The $61 million gap represents aid to other states, not a subsidy for the poor, and California is among 17 states that fund the majority. Alaska fares worst at 12 cents per dollar received.
Torrance voters overwhelmingly approved a 2.3 million bond to establish a city library system, ending the county service arrangement in place since 1935.
