Welfare rolls drop in California again amid tax savings
In April the California welfare caseload fell to 2,149,400, an 11,700 drop from March and 144,600 below March 1971 peak. Rob ert Carleson credited 1971 reforms for the decline, noting $216 million saved since March 1971 and a further $84 million from administrative changes. Lt. Gov. Ed Reinecke said declines suggest the reform program remains effective. Also in Sacramento the Assembly passed a sales tax exemption for nuts, voting 56 to 5 to exclude nuts from tax despite their prior classification as hot prepared foods.
