Welfare cut labeled inhuman by Sacramento leader
Assembly Democrat John J. Miller denounced Governor Reagan’s $25 million welfare cut targeting aid for the aged blind and disabled. Reagan said $10 million was cut from homemaker and attendant care with $15 million in matching funds cut federally and locally.
