A 15 member federal evaluation says California OEO officials under Lewis Uhler used federal grants to threaten and investigate, not aid, local antipoverty programs. The report urges withholding the $800,000 annual grant after June 30 and restructuring or abolishing the agency unless major changes occur.

California schools chief Wilson Riles urges AB 1406 SB 801 for a statewide 3.75 per 100 property tax to fund schools with 400 million dollars more annually in block grants.
