Welfare reform to take effect Friday in California
California welfare chief says most of the state's reform program starts Friday despite two preliminary legal setbacks. The court rulings affect only a section boosting some payments and reducing others. The governor urges quick fixes as the reform aims to save state funds while expanding support for 2.5 million recipients and enforcing new child and relative support rules.

GOP blocks Demo bid to defeat ecology superagency
Sacramento Assembly Republicans blocked a Democratic move to derail Gov. Reagan’s plan to merge all environmental agencies into a single Department of Environmental Protection. The plan survived after a party-line 37-25 vote on a motion to refer it to an interim study, with five Democrats absent. Democrats vowed to press again, while GOP leaders argued the consolidation would maintain and enhance existing powers. One Democrat lamented executive dominance, urging the Legislature to reclaim authority. The plan would take effect Tuesday unless rejected by the Senate or Assembly.
