Gov. Brown said he would sign a bill requiring California to take over more than 300 million dollars a year in welfare costs now paid by homeowners through property tax bills. He noted a potential 75 dollar annual reduction for each homeowner if costs are shared.
Los Angeles County supervisors urged Gov. Brown to call a special Legislature session on property tax reform to begin with the January regular session. They warned action is needed as 80 cities and 95 school districts prepare their 1978 79 budgets and cited a $2 billion surplus in Sacramento amid calls for tax limits.
The Little Hoover Commission labeled California state mental hospitals and developmental disability programs as disgraceful with little progress since 1975. Health Department officials defend efforts, noting staff increases and facility upgrades while urging faster action and stronger community services. The commission favors placing regional program administration in the Health Department with contracts to public and private providers. About 45 000 people receive regional center services, costing roughly 104 million dollars yearly plus 6 million federal funds.
Ronald Reagan said Carter may face a challenge from within his own party in 1980. He named California Governor Jerry Brown and U.S. Senator Daniel Moynihan as possible hopefuls while noting his own political future depends on voters and the public. The remarks came at a Portland news conference.
