Reagan and Democrats clash over welfare reform stalemate
SACRAMENTO. Gov. Reagan and Democratic leaders failed to agree on a welfare reform plan. Democrats oppose any proposal that would raise property taxes and insisted counties not incur higher costs. Negotiations resume as both sides draft language and seek assurances on county costs, food stamps, and job training funds amid a looming budget deficit.

County task force to probe welfare program issues
County supervisors shake up welfare oversight by forming a high level task force to study the welfare management system and hire an outside consultant. Supervisor Warren Dora cites mismanagement while Frank Bonell presents letters from bankers and landlords alleging benefit irregularities at two offices and rolls of deceased or moved recipients. A 100 person welfare recipients group, largely Mexican Americans, pressed for names on the task force but left after a leader was removed during a tense meeting. The system, used to fund property owners at 280 million, was cut by 15.5 million under state policy changes.
