To date. my staff has met with the welfare directors of 22 out of Californias 58 counties. Their pleas were nearly universal. I will share them with you. The work requirements. they say. as currently outlined in the bill will most probably not be attainable even under the most optimistic of circumstances. The child care funds in the bill for California are not enough to satisfy the requirements of the bill. The legal immigrant provisions denying food stamps and SSI. particularly to the elderly. the sick. and the disabled. will have a devastating impact on county general assistance programs. The biggest impact will be on the largest county in the State. Los Angeles County.
