Lorain County welfare chief Gerard Prinz praised cuts to AFDC and food stamps while urging tighter controls and warning against large Medicaid cuts. Charles Hopkins of Lorain County Community Action Agency criticized the plan as unfair to the vulnerable, as Congress debated $41 billion in 1982 cuts and a $1,500 three year tax break for a family of four.

Postal Rate Commission backs 18 cent first class stamp
The Independent Postal Rate Commission endorsed an 18 cent first class stamp and a 12 cent post card, cutting $1 billion from the Postal Service’s $3.75 billion proposed increase. The plan moves to the Postal Service board, which may accept, protest, or seek further action. The service had argued 20 cents was the minimum needed to keep up with inflation. Joe Hall plans Elyria visit after Hawaii leave, with further debriefing in Washington and next assignment at Fort Myer.
