Stall claims two pay documents submitted to center
Gov Brown's press secretary says Stall filed at least two income documents for a Sacramento State University day care program that served welfare recipients. The audit shows his daughter was among 250 children funded by federal welfare dollars, with fees to welfare families as low as seven cents an hour while others paid more. Stall and his wife reported annual family income of 20 500 dollars and attached a payroll stub, noting they may repay if audit confirms. Brown expresses surprise and says the budget review confirmed concerns about the program.
