California welfare and Medi Cal reform moves advance
In Sacramento the Legislature neared the halfway point in reforming welfare and Medi Cal. The Assembly passed a bipartisan Medi Cal reform bill 66 to 10, the Senate backed a weakened welfare bill, Reagan lauded Medi Cal as a hopeful sign, and warned of possible recalls if reforms lag. A Senate-Assembly tug continues as leaders seek a compromise before Aug 1 recess. A Coast Guard cutter later rescued a drifting 40 foot fishing boat near Morro Bay, towed by Cape Hedge, skipper Phil Haskin.
