Funds for disabled
Re “Picking the Pockets of the Aged, Disabled,” column, May 15
Kudos to George Skelton for pointing out the abuse and inequity of a system that withholds money for those who need it most -- the aged and disabled. For the governor to say that we need to do this is a disgrace to all Californians. Revenue in the state is up, yet we are building a rainy-day fund at the expense of the disabled. Doesn’t the governor realize that for those with disabilities, it is already pouring?
