In Sacramento the California Senate amended Gov. Reagan’s budget with a UC tuition anti policy. A coalition of 17 Democrats and five Republicans backed the change after a floor fight claiming blackmailing the UC Regents.

Financing options include public employee retirement system loans, with no site finalized though a location a few blocks east is considered.
