Crown and Zenovich unveiled a two week budget plan charging Reagan with bureaucratic waste and misallocation of priorities. The proposal seeks 26.8 million for welfare, 15.4 million from county school services, 10 million by raising doctor fees, and 5.8 million for a new San Francisco State building with enrollment down 59 percent.
