Panel votes to abolish 20 cookie jar funds in California
In Sacramento the Ways and Means Committee approved a bill to eliminate about 20 special state funds including the Department of Agriculture and water resources control funds. Assemblyman Jesse Unruh said destroying these accounts would free up up to 7.5 million dollars for the general fund. Davis opposed the measure calling it pork-barrel politics. The plan would also abolish another 98 funds by 1965 unless action is taken.
