Brown Presses Poverty War Aid and Higher Pay for Solons
Governor Edmund G Brown urged the California Legislature to expand anti poverty programs and support pay raises for lawmakers while the session weighed a 1 cent sales tax increase to fund school district property tax shifts. He proposed 12 poverty service centers in 11 regions, a 12 million program to reduce elementary class sizes, and a 20 million school construction plan. Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally also proposed a teacher aide program funded by 250 dollars monthly, to relieve teachers of non teaching tasks. Brown sent the poverty report during a special session on constitutional revision as he met federal officials in Washington.
