Mendocino County supervisors hear from welfare chief Dennis Denny that the State Department of Social Welfare has pulled all funds for administering storage and transport of surplus foods. With Jan 1 as the withdrawal date, the county must find $17,000 to $18,000 for the balance of the year, while considering grant options or centralizing distribution. Denny rejects curtailment and notes most residents favor the current system over food stamps.
