It finished its first\nfull-time, two-year session.\n\"This is a major departure from the days when the legislators met\nfor a few months every other year, then returned to their stores, farms,\nbusinesses and professions and their constituents.\n\"When the people voted to approve the full-time idea, the major\nselling points were that it would bring a new sense of professionalism\nand efficiency to the legislature.\n\"And yet, we have just gone through the usual last-minute logjam.\nIn the final week, some one thousand bills went through the legislature\nnearly twice as many as in the balance of the year.\nThe state budget was passed and sent to me two weeks after the\nlegal deadline and only 48 hours before my legal deadlines hardly\nenough time to thoughtfully consider $10 billion worth of items.\n--In the final days, the Senate leadership broke a tradition of\nmany years standing, turning down appointees I had nominated to boards\nand commissions, not because they lacked qualifications, but because the\nSenate leaders disagreed with the nominees' philosophy and mine.\nNow, that same Senate leadership is granting each incumbent\nSenator up for reelection an extra staff person at public expense\nto help him through the election.\n\"And, to top it off, the legislature is now costing the people $52\nmillion a year to run its affairs.\n\"The legislature could have done much to make this session both\nhistoric and progressive. It could have passed landmark bills on\ncampaign and election reform; farm workers' rights; no-fault insurance;\nland use; and public employee work relations but it did not. It did\nfind time, though, to debate and pass a bill making the saber-tooth\ntiger the official state fossil!\n\"In my years as Governor, I have known many wise and effective\nlegislators from both parties, but I wonder if our move to a full-time\nlegislature hasn't inadvertently caused too many of our lawmakers to\nisolate themselves in Sacramento and to become overly conscious of\ntheir perquisites?\n\"There is no one-sentence solution, but it seems to me that the\nlegislature should start by working more days per week throughout the\nsession to avoid the logjam. As it is, legislators often draw seven\ndays of tax-free expense funds a week, but are in session only four.\nThe time has come to objectively reevaluate the mechanics of the full-\ntime system. A blue-ribbon citizens' task force next year could do this--\nmuch as the Constitutional Revision Commission did in 1965 and 1966.\n\"If we do not take steps such as these, I'm afraid that public\nconfidence in the legislature will continue to wither, and public\ncynicism toward generous retirement benefits, self-regulated salaries\nand the various emoluments the legislators have given themselves will\ntake its place. The California taxpayers deserve better.\n####\nMcKelvey\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n9-4-74\n#503\nMarjorie H.

This compares most favorably\nwith recent wage increases granted other public employees in the\nSouthland. I think it is significant that this offer carries a price\ntag that is approximately $1 million in excess of the recommendations\nof the fact finding commission of impartial experts I appointed last\nspring to investigate the contract differences between the RTD and the\nunions.\n\"It is my hope that the union leaders will see their way clear to\ncall elections by their members as soon as possible as a means of\nsettling this terribly disruptive strike. I have been most disturbed\nat the way hundreds of thousands of people in Southern California have\nbecome innocent victims of this unwanted strike,\" the state's chief\nexecutive said.\nThe Southern California Rapid Transit District is an agency of\nthe state. The RTD's 3,300 drivers, represented by the United\nTransportation Union, and the district's 728 mechanics, represented\nby the Amalgamated Transit Union, walked off their jobs last August 12,\nbringing an immediate halt to bus service in four Southern California\ncounties.\nUnion demands far exceeded recommendations of Governor Reagan's\nFact-Finding Commission, and the parties have remained far apart in\ntheir negotiations.\n# # #\nMcKelvey\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Friday P.M.s\nSacramento, California 95814\nSeptember 6, 1974\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n9-5-74\n#506\nGovernor Ronald Reagan, in a sweeping series of new proposals to\nreform the nation's welfare system, also called for a drastic overhaul\nof the federal Food Stamp program and further refinements in the Aid to\nFamilies with Dependent Children program.\nThe proposals are contained in a 70-page report made public today.\nCostly abuses of the program were discovered by the Governor's\nFood Stamp Task Force. The task force was initiated in 1973 along with\na task force to re-examine the state's Aid to Families With Dependent\nChildren (AFDC) program.\nBoth the Food Stamp and AFDC task forces gathered extensive data\non their respective programs through direct contact with welfare\nofficials at all governmental levels, and through the utilization of\nanalysts employed by the Department of Benefit Payments.\nGovernor Reagan said the food stamp program is \"out of control\" \"\nand is \"a national scandal.\" He pointed out that lax eligibility rules\nand glaring loopholes in the program make it far easier for persons to\nget food stamps than to get into many other welfare programs.\n\"The food stamp program has multiplied nationally from 367,000\npersons in 1964 to 13 million today, a 3,400 percent increase,\" the\ngovernor said. \"By next year one in every 14 persons will be using\nfood stamps and, according to a congressional committee report, within\nthree years one in every four Americans could be eligible.\"\nHe said that in the current fiscal year the federal government\nwill contribute at least $316 million in tax dollars to underwrite the\nprogram in California alone. An additional $100 million will be spent to\nadminister the program in California. By the middle of next year, the\nnational program will cost more than $4 billion annually.\n\"The food stamp program was originally established to help shore\nup the nation's agricultural economy by distributing food surpluses\nthrough retail channels. Those surpluses have now disappeared and the\nprogram has become a separate welfare system supervised by yet another\ngiant and expensive bureaucracy in Washington,\" he said.\n\"The U.S. Department of Agriculture is in charge of the food stamp\nprogram and the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare has\nthe authority over the rest of the national welfare system.\n-1-\n#506\n\"Having two separate welfare programs being run by two giant\nfederal bureaucracies is simply one bureaucracy too many. This is a\nsource of many of the problems which plague the overall welfare system\nin our nation today.\"\nGovernor Reagan proposed that the food stamp program be transferred\nto HEW. Until this is done, he said, county welfare workers who must\nadminister regular welfare programs as well as food stamps at the local\nlevel, will continue to face the hour-by-hour nightmare of trying to sort\nout the widely differing and complex regulations which govern the two\nwelfare systems. He said one out of every four Californians receiving\nfood stamps today isn't even in a regular welfare program, or does not\nqualify for welfare. This is because food stamp eligibility requirements\nare far more liberal, he noted.\nThe Food Stamp Task Force identified 88 specific problems and\nsolutions.\nThe report includes a variety of examples of how food stamp\nrecipients as well as persons in the AFDC program are able to abuse the\nsystem.\nGoverror Reagan noted that as a result of the comprehensive\nwelfare and Modi-Cal reform program he sent to the legislature three\nyears ago, many abuses in California have been eliminated and weaknesses\ncorrected. However, he said he never intended that those reforms would\nconstitute the final chapter in the administration's efforts to improve\nthem.\n\"Abuses contirue. Loopholes remain. Red tape persists,\" he said.\nNevertheless, the governor pointed out that the reforms he\nsponsored in 1971 have reduced the state's AFDC welfare rolls by 350,000\nand have saved the taxpayers of California some $2 billion. He noted\nthat before chose reforms were implemented, the state's welfare rolls\nwere spiralling upward at the rate of 40,000 a month and that welfare\nin California \"had become a $3 billion moral and administrative disaster\nwhich was leading us down the road to bankruptcy.\" Since then, however,\nhe said the state has been able to increase basic welfare grants to the\ntruly needy by 41 percent.

If this program was not working, the public service job\nrolls would swell and, presumably, CWEP would be declared by its\ncritics to be a resounding success.\n\"When this effort began in 1971, welfare costs and welfare rolls\nwere rising at an alarming rate. We were increasing at the rate of\n40,000 recipients a month. If we had just leveled off, it would\nhave been a tremendous savings. But we did much better than that.\nIn the past three years, we have seen a complete turnaround. Welfare\nrolls have steadily decreased and overall savings of more than $1\nbillion have been achieved in federal, state or county costs.\n- 1 -\n#509\n\"In the same period we have seen a drop of 357,000 recipients\nof Aid to Families with Dependent Children, which is the category\ndirectly affected by this program. At the same time we are paying\nthe highest grants in the nation to the truly needy.\n\"Three years ago we were managing to find jobs for about 15,000\nrecipients a year. Last year we placed 75,000 in regular jobs through\nthe Employment Development Department.\n\"This Community Work Experience Program is only a small part of\nwelfare reform, but I believe it plays a vital role. It tests the\nconcept that an employable person will try harder to find a job\nrather than seek welfare if the welfare payment is tied to work\nexperience assignments.\n\"It is also demonstrating that welfare recipients find jobs\nfaster if they get some work experience.\n\"Furthermore, local government officials have praised the value\nof this program. It also is clear that useful public work that\nwould not otherwise be done has been accomplished by participants\nin local work experience programs.\n\"On the face of it, this is a reasonable proposition which has\nevery right to be tested and already has produced results that\nindicate that the test should continue. To cut it off now, at the\neleventh hour, when final evaluation is about to start, makes no\nsense,\" the governor concluded.\n#####\nWalthall\n- 2 -\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n9-6-74\n#510\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of\nOrville John Hoag, Jr., of Los Angeles as a member of the\nCalifornia Board of Nursing Education and Nurse Registration.\nA 36-year-old Republican, Hoag fills the unexpired term,\nending June 15, 1977, of Lois L.

McGuiness.\nVukasin has been a PUC member since 1969 and was its president\nfor two years.\nIn making the announcement, Governor Reagan noted that Vukasin\nleft a thriving private law practice of 11 years to serve in state\ngovernment and thanked the appointee for his dedication and hard\nwork for the people of California.\n\"John exhibited legal ability, fairness, courage and integrity\nand handled the challenging PUC position with distinction in a very\ndifficult time, the governor said.\nGovernor Reagan's evaluation was concurred in by the State Bar's\nboard of governors and Alameda County's judicial appointment evaluating\ncommittee, both of which found Vukasin fully qualified.\n\"I appreciate his service and wish him well in serving the\npeople of Alameda County, the governor said.\nVukasin, a 1950 graduate of the University of California who\nearned his law degree from UC's Boalt Hall School of Law six years\nlater, began his legal career as a trial attorney for the state\nDivision of Highways in 1956.

I find this deplorable.\"\nIn conjunction with the filing of an accident report when\nproperty damage exceeds $250 or personal injury is involved, a\nmotorist under SB 1471 must prove he had insurance coverage or similar\nprotection. If no such proof is forthcoming, the motorist then has\n60 days in which to obtain coverage and provide proof to the DMV.\nThe new law calls for a minimum of insurance coverage: $15,000\nfor one person, $30,000 for one accident with respect to personal\ninjuries and $5,000 for a single accident resulting in property damage.\n\"I am especially pleased to sign this bill because it relieves\nthe DMV from holding costly hearings to determine who was at fault\nbefore suspending a license as the result of an accident, \" Governor\nReagan said. \"This will result in an annual savings to the taxpayers\nof $2.6 million just for the cost of the approximately 20,000 hearings\nthat have been necessary each year.'\n######\nMcKelvey\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n9-26-74\n#545\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced he has signed--with a great\ndeal of reluctance--legislation (SB 1966-Mills) extending the one-half\ncent sales and use tax in San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa counties\nto support the financially troubled Bay Area Rapid Transit District.\nThe special and so-called temporary tax, first imposed April 4, 1970,\nwill be extended to December 31, 1977. The tax is estimated to generate\n$34 to $40 million a year.\n\"Although I have signed this bill I am very concerned that it did\nnot include a provision for a direct vote of the people of the counties\ninvolved to determine if they want to be saddled with this additional tax\nfor years into the future,\" the governor said.\n\"A recent management audit of BART by an independent firm, Cresap,\nMcCormick and Paget, concluded that 'BART is far from a stable, well-\nprepared subject for this management audit\nexisting budgeting systems\nand procedures are cumbersome or lacking.'\n\"There exists the real possibility that BART's deficits will continue\nindefinitely, yet it was sold originally to the people of San Francisco,\nAlameda and Contra Costa counties as a system that would be self-sufficient.\n\"I believe that the people should reserve the right to determine\nthemselves whether they want additional taxes. This bill would have been\nfar better had it included a provision for a vote of the people. This\ndeficiency should be corrected by subsequent legislation in the next\nsession of the legislature.\n\"Had I not signed this bill, the immediate losers would have been\nthe 100,000 Bay Area residents who depend on the BART trains each day\nfor their transportation.\n\"My signature should not be considered as an endorsement of either\nthe BART management, or the legislature's method of handling this problem,\"\nthe governor concluded.\nIn addition to extending the one-half cent tax, the bill directs the\nlegislative analyst to monitor management of the BART system during the\nlife of the tax and to develop long-range financing alternatives for BART\nand other public transit operators in the area.\nBART officials had warned that unless the temporary tax was extended\nthey would have to close down the system October 1 of this year because\nof an operating deficit.\nThe boards of supervisors, local governments in the three BART counties\nand numerous individuals urged the governor to sign the bill.\n# # #\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n9-26-74\n#546\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today signed SB 1521 (Alquist) which\nwill prohibit the sale or installation of new residential-type gas\nappliances equipped with a pilot light after January 1, 1977, or two\nyears after an alternative to the pilot light has been certified,\nwhichever is later.\nThe bill also directs the state Energy Resources Conservation\nand Development Commission to develop no later than January 1, 1976\nspecifications for one alternative, intermittent ignition device.\nAfter testing alternatives, the commission may determine there is\nno feasible alternative or that pilot lights are necessary for health\nand safety.\nIntermittent ignition devices already are available on gas\ndryers. They perform the same essential safety function as a pilot\nlight, but do not consume gas when the appliance is turned off.\n\"With a 30 percent shortage in natural gas for residential use\nprojected for within the next eight years, it behooves all of us to\nlook for ways to conserve our natural resources, the governor said.\n\"Since we are told that between 10 and 15 percent of the residential\ngas consumed is attributable to pilot lights, the signing of this\nmeasure will help reduce the consumers' utility bills. As the\nincreased cost of appliances equipped with the ignition devices\nshould not be substantial, I believe this to be a way all of us can\nreduce the need for, and thus conserve, natural gas for other purposes. \"\n#####\nMcKelvey\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n9-26-74\n#547\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today again appealed to leaders of the\nstriking Southern California Transit Unions to submit alternative\nsolutions to a secret membership vote as a means of ending the current\nstrike.\nGovernor Reagan said his review of the 46-day-old strike convinced\nhim that there were two positive options open to striking employees:\n--to return to work and accept RTD's offers;\n--to return to work and submit any remaining differences to binding\narbitration.\nThe governor said the third option would be for union leadership to\nconsider asking their members to \"vote to continue the 46-day strike\nindefinitely. A strike whose most disastrous effects are on the low\nincome, the handicapped, the elderly and school children.\n\"Today also marks the eighth day the personal representative of the\nmayor of Los Angeles has been working with all parties in an attempt to\nreach an agreement that would permit the resumption of public transpor-\ntation services,\" Governor Reagan said.\n\"In spite of his efforts,\" he said, \"the chasm between union demands\nand RTD's ability to meet them remains.\"\nThe governor said he had learned that the Los Angeles Board of\nSupervisors had called for a reorganization of the Southern California\nRapid Transit District earlier this week.\n\"Such actions are not the way to handle disastrous strikes disrupting\nvital public services,\" the governor said.\nHe said the Southern California Rapid District had \"conducted itself\nin a reasonable and prudent fashion and should not be punished for attempt-\ning to represent the public interest in the face of demands by the unions.\"\n\"The real reason for this strike,\" he said, \"is that union leaders\nhave refused to submit district offers to their membership for a vote.\" \"\nHe said a vote by the union rank and file on proposals already put\nforth by the transit district was \"the traditional democratic way to\nlet union members decide the courses of action they believe would bring\na settlement to the strike.\"\n-1-\n#547\nHe said the district's offer of an increase of more than 10 percent\ncompares favorably with increases granted other southland employees.\n\"The union memberships should long ago have had the opportunity to\ndecide the issues for themselves,\" the governor declared.\nFor this reason, he said, he again offered the services of the\nState Conciliation Service to assist in conducting secret balloting on\nthe offers in the event other bargaining avenues should fail.\nOn September 5, during the fourth week of the walkout, Governor\nReagan issued an appeal calling on striking union leaders to submit the\ndistrict's offers to their membership. This offer was rejected.\nThe Southern California Rapid Transit District is an agency of the\nstate. The RTD's 3,300 drivers, represented by the United Transportation\nUnion, and the district's 728 mechanics, represented by the Amalgamated\nTransit Union, walked off their jobs last August 12, bringing an immediate\nhalt to RTD's bus service in four southern California counties.\nThe transit district has made offers for an economic settlement far\nin excess of recommendations by Governor Reagan's Fact Finding Commission.\nThe parties remain far apart.\n# # #\n-2-\nWalthall"
