Jeffrey C. Miller of Illinois welfare urges broader welfare reform before a proposed federal-state swap. He says many rules come from Washington and Springfield for AFDC and Medicaid, and a move toward centralized control might streamline programs. Miller supports federalization of all welfare, but worries about exact tax and aid impacts for Illinois.
Springfield officials estimate the plan to move social programs to states may save Illinois 62 million dollars annually but could cost 111 million, depending on Medicaid coverage and federal matches. Jeffrey Miller warns the final balance hinges on Washington's funding and the swap's details. Governor Thompson plans to discuss further with Reagan in Washington Monday. Miller says the move would wash tax dollars but shift AFDC and food stamp costs to the state while preserving welfare support. He emphasizes federalization could standardize benefits nationwide and argues unemployment and poverty policies are set in Washington.
Illinois lawmakers criticize a planned February 9 talk by President Reagan saying the visit would waste time and taxpayers’ money. Democrats and three Republicans cite costs, arguing legislators should not be paid for attending the address and plan to sponsor a resolution to eliminate allowances for that day.
