Schwarzenegger's Proposed Budget Cuts in Home Healthcare

Hosted by
Governor Schwarzenegger is proposing to cut a program established 30 years ago by then-Governor Ronald Reagan. California In-Home Supportive Services provides low-income elderly and disabled people enough help so they can live at home, rather than going to nursing homes, which advocates say will be more expensive. Some 300,000 people could be affected. The disabled, and their assistants, are asking the Terminator not to make cuts supporters are calling painful and counter-productive. Warren Olney looks at their plan to invade Sacramento tomorrow, and how the Schwarzenegger administration responds, with leaders of the California Homecare Council and the California Department of Social Services, and a Southern California business advocate.

    Some 400 pages of documents in the Enron case have been released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC. They include tapes of Enron officials talking in ways that suggest they knew they might be breaking the law. Jason Leopold, former LA Bureau chief for the Dow Jones Newswires is completing a book about California-s energy crisis.
