ALL RIGHT LET'S BEGIN ITEM
NUMBER ONE AB TWENTY ONE
SEVENTY FOUR ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GALLAGHER. WELCOME TO. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS-
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT AB TWENTY ONE SEVENTY
FOUR WHICH WOULD AUTHORIZE YUBA
AND SUTTER COUNTIES TO FORM A
JOINT HOMELESS MULTI
DISCIPLINARY PERSONNEL TEAM-
THE TEAM WOULD FACILITATE
INFORMATION SHARING- TO SUPPORT
THE IDENTIFICATION ASSESSMENT
AND LINKAGE OF HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS TO HOUSING AND
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES ANDY TEAS
ARE PROVEN TOOL THAT ALLOWED
TEAMS FROM A VARIETY OF
DISCIPLINES TO COORDINATE THEIR
EFFORTS AND EIGHTY HAVE BEEN
SUCCESSFULLY USED FOR THE PAST
THIRTY YEARS TO ADDRESS CHILD
ABUSE OR NEGLECT. ALLOWING
COUNTY SERVICE PROVIDERS TO
WORK TOGETHER TO SHARE CASE
INFORMATION MOST RECENTLY ANDY
TIAS A MAN USED TO ADDRESS
HOMELESSNESS. UNFORTUNATELY
CURRENT LAW LIMITS THE
UTILIZATION OF HOMELESS NDTV'S
TWO PROVIDERS WITHIN A SINGLE
COUNTY. THIS CAN BE PROBLEMATIC
FOR COUNTIES THAT WISH TO
BETTER COORDINATE SERVICES
ACROSS COUNTY LINES FOR THEIR
HOMELESS POPULATIONS LIKE YUBA
AND SUTTER COUNTIES YUBA AND
SUTTER COUNTIES ARE ADJACENT TO
EACH OTHER- THERE COUNTY SEATS
YUBA CITY IN MARYSVILLE OR-
BORDER ON THE FEATHER RIVER
ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER- AND
THEY HAVE MANY DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS ARE ACTUALLY BY COUNTY
THEIR MENTAL HEALTH IS B
COUNTY- THERE- IN JUVENILE HALL
AS BY COUNTY AND SO THERE'S
MANY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THEY
ALREADY OPERATE TOGETHER. ON A
BY COUNTY BASIS BECAUSE OF
THEIR UNIQUE TO YOU GEOGRAPHY-
THE HOMELESS POPULATION IN THIS
AREA FREQUENTLY MOVES- ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE RIVER- IN BETWEEN
THESE TWO COMMUNITIES. YUBA AND
SUTTER COUNTIES- AS I SAID OF
CREATED BY COUNTY SERVICES
PROGRAM FOR IT FOR GENERAL
PLANNING. OF REGIONAL
HOMELESSNESS EVER EFFORTS AND
TO UNIFY PROPOSED INITIATIVES-
PART OF THIS EFFORT INCLUDES
EXPANDING AND UNIFYING THE
COUNTY'S HOMELESS ENGAGEMENT
AND RESOLUTION TEAMS. WHICH ARE
CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW TO SEPARATE
COUNTY TEAMS COORDINATION AND
INFORMATION SHARING MAKES A LOT
OF SENSE FOR THESE COUNTIES AS
A ALREADY SHARE HOMELESS
SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE A BY
COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AND
HAVE CREATED A BY COUNTY
HOMELESS CONSORTIUM. SO AB
TWENTY ONE SEVENTY FIVE WOULD
HELP THESE EFFORTS. TO PROVIDE
HOUSING IN SUPPORT OF SERVICES
TO HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS- WHICH
ARE ESPECIALLY CRITICAL TO
CONTAINING- COVERT NINETEEN.
ARE HOMELESS POPULATION IS
PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE DURING
THIS CRISIS. SO INCREASE
COORDINATION BETWEEN THE
COUNTIES WOULD ALSO CREATE COST
SAVINGS AND IMPROVE GOVERNMENT
EFFICIENCY EFFICIENCY BY
PREVENTING DUPLICATIVE EFFORTS
THE BETTER COORDINATION. AND SO
THIS WOULD BE A VERY HELPFUL
AND USEFUL TOOL FOR THESE
COUNTY TO ALREADY WORKING
TOGETHER IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
AND WITH ME TO TESTIFY ON THE
PHONE ARE MARKS LET'S MEYER THE
ADULT SERVICES BRANCH DIRECTOR
FOR SUTTER COUNTY. HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES AND CHI AGO
EASY- THE YUBA COUNTY CAL WORKS
HOMELESS PROJECT MANAGER. Q.
AND I'D ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
GIFFORD FIRST WITNESS MISTER

BRANCH DIRECTOR FOR START
COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES- THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR

TIME TO IN SUPPORT OF THE
PROPOSED DAHLE I'D LIKE TO JUST
PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE
BACKGROUND ON THE BY COUNTY HOW
MUCH EFFORT THAT'S CURRENTLY
HAPPENING IN SOUTHERN YUBA
COUNTY. ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND
THE CA AS IF YOU'VE BEEN SUTTER
COUNTY. CAME TOGETHER TO CREATE
A BY COUNTY HOW MUCH
PARTNERSHIP. THERE'S A
LEADERSHIP GROUP HAS GATHERED
ON A MONTHLY BASIS. TO ADDRESS
HOMELESSNESS IN OUR REGION- IT
CONSISTS OF BOARD OF SUPERVISOR
REPRESENTATIVES FOR BOTH YUBA
AND SUTTER COUNTY. AS WELL AS
CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES
FROM THE CITIES OF THE YUBA
CITY MARYVILLE AND WE WENT. AS
WELL AS THE CA OF THE BOTH
SUTTER AND YUBA COUNTIES. SO
THAT'SGOOD THIS COLLABORATIVE
BY COUNTY GROUP HAS BEEN
COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING
HOMELESSNESS AS A REGIONAL
ISSUE. AND IS CONSTANTLY
STRIVING TO CREATE A BALANCE OF
STRONG SERVICES AND SUPPORT ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER. THAT
DIVIDES OUR TO COUNTY. ONE OF
THE MAJOR TASKS AT THE BY
COUNTY HOMES PARTNERSHIP IS
TAKEN ON IS TO CREATE SUB
COMMITTEES. TO ADDRESS-
REGIONAL HOMELESSNESS AND AS A
FAMILY MAN GALLAGHER POINTED
OUT WE HAVE A- A SUBCOMMITTEE
FOCUSED ON A HOMELESS OUTREACH-
AND ENFORCEMENT TEAM CALLED
HEART TEAM THAT- THE HOMELESS
ENGAGEMENT RESOLUTION TEAM
ACTUALLY- THIS CAME COMBINED
SOCIAL SERVICES. BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH AND ENFORCEMENT STAFF
MEMBERS INTO ONE. REGIONAL WHAT
THAT MULTI DISCIPLINARY TEAM.
AND THE TEAM PROVIDE IT WILL
THE TEAM IS GOING TO BE
PROVIDING EXTENSIVE SUPPORT AND
LINKAGE TO SERVICES IN AN
EFFORT TO. PROVIDE WHAT WE CALL
CAN COMPASSIONATE AND CODE
ENFORCEMENT. SO BUT COUNTIES IN
ALL FOUR OF THE MAJOR
MUNICIPALITIES HAVE NOW
APPROVED A SHARED AND- YOU.
THAT WILL ALLOW THIS MULTI
DISCIPLINARY TEAM. TO OPERATE
IN ALL JURISDICTIONS. THE BILL
FOR. A CRITICAL PIECE OF THE
WORK THAT THIS TEAM WILL DO AS
WITH OTHER MULTI DISCIPLINARY
TEAM THE ABILITY TO SHARE.
MINIMAL BASIC INFORMATION AMONG
TEAM MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL TO
ACCOMPLISHING THE TEAM'S
MISSION- AND AS YOU'RE AWARE
HOMELESSNESS IS A VERY COMPLEX
ISSUE TO ADDRESS AND
COMMUNICATION AMONG THOSE
TRYING TO SOLVE IT. IS A BASIC
REQUIREMENT FOR SUCCESS. ARE TO
CARRY TO PLACE THE A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF EFFORT SO FAR INTO
OUR COOPERATIVE APPROACH AND
WITHOUT PASSAGE OF THIS BILL
WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO
ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION OF
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS. IN OUR

SO WE TRY THAT ONE MORE TIME
FOR. TO SHOW SUPPORT PLEASE
PRESS ONE ZERO AT THIS TIME
WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW MR GIPSON

YOU MUCH MADAM CHAIR ON SAY
THERE COULD BE SOME PRIVACY
ISSUES HAVE YOU BEEN- A PRIZE
OF ANY PRIVACY ISSUES AND IF
SO- HAVE YOU TRIED TO ATTEMPT
TO ADDRESS THOSE PRIVACY ISSUES
THAT- COULD COME UP BECAUSE I
KNOW THAT MR SANTIAGO ALSO. DID
A DEAL THAT HAS SOME KIND OF
GENERATIONS AND AMENDMENTS-
JUST MAKING SURE THAT DOESN'T
HURT SOME THE ALREADY EXISTING
PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE- THE
WORKING PROGRAMS LOS ANGELES
COUNTY SO- I'LL BE INTERESTED
TO HEAR YOUR RESPONSE THAT.
JUST GALLAGHER SURE SO. I
MYSELF- YOUR MANY ASPECTS HAVE
BEEN VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
PRIVACY- SO CERTAINLY THAT'S A
CONCERN OF MINE AS WELL- I
DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY
PRIVACY CONCERNS- BY THE
PRESENT BILL. IT MATCHES- WHAT
LA COUNTY- LA COUNTIES PROGRAM
HAS DONE- AND SO WE'RE NOT
DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY THAN
WHAT LA COUNTIES- PROGRAM.
UNDER OUR PROPOSED. BILL THERE
HAVE BEEN- ISN'T IN YOUR
ANALYSIS PRIVACY COMMITTEE HAS
RAISED SOME CONCERNS- YEAH BUT
THE AMENDMENTS THAT THEY WANT
WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE MISTER
SANTIAGO'S BILL. AND MY BILL ON
THE ISSUE OF CONSENT- AND THAT
WOULD BE PROBLEMATIC I MEAN I
I'M NOT IN A PLACE WHERE I CAN
ACCEPT AMENDMENTS IS GONNA
CHANGE- A PROGRAM THAT'S
ALREADY IN PLACE IN LA COUNTY
AND LA COUNTY COULD PROBABLY
SPEAK MORE TO THOSE CONCERNS I
THINK THERE. ONE OF THE
ENTITIES ITS ON THE CALL- SO
MAYBE THEY COULD SPEAK MORE
SPECIFICALLY TO THAT BUT- YOU
KNOW I CAN'T ACCEPT AMENDMENTS
THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING THAT
WOULD CHANGE. WHAT THIS
COMMITTEE AND LEGISLATORS
ALREADY BETTER THAN APPROVED
LAST LAST YEAR WITH MR
SANTIAGO'S BILL. WE'RE JUST
KEEPING IT THE SAME AS WHAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE. PREVIEW
TO RESPONSE THANK YOU THANK YOU
MISTER STONE. THANK YOU WELL
FOR CLARITY THAT THAT'S NOT
ENTIRELY TRUE WHAT THIS DOES.
IS THAT IT CREATES TWO
DIFFERENT CLASSES SO THAT THERE
IS AFFIRMATIVE CONSENT IF THERE
IS SOMEONE WHO IS AT RISK OF
BEING HOMELESS FOUR BEING
SERVED BY THESE MULTIPLE THE
MOTTO THIS FIRE TEAMS. BUT IF
SOMEONE IS ALREADY HOME WAS
THERE IS NO AFFIRMATIVE CONSENT
SO IT'S GOOD THAT'S THE
CHALLENGE HERE IS IT'S
CREATING. A DICHOTOMY AND SO
FOR SOMEONE WHO IS AS
SUPPORTIVE OF PRIVACY RIGHTS AS
I THOUGHT MISTER GALLAGHER HAD
BEEN ON I'M SURPRISED AT THAT
HE HASN'T TAKEN THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THAT
DISCREPANCY. THANK YOU ANY
OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. WE
DO HAVE ONE ON THE PHONE LINES
HOMICIDE SHERRY'S ARION PLEASE

COMMENT. MISTER GALLAGHER YOU
MENTIONED THAT THE COUNTY OF
SALMON IT DOES COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES. WAS ON THE LINE.
SHOULD WE BE WAITING FOR THEM.
I BELIEVE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE
BEEN. I HAD BEEN TOLD THAT THEY
MIGHT BE COMING ONLINE OKAY
THERE IS REALLY THEIR CONCERN
AS WELL THAT WE DON'T TAKE THAT
ELEMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD SET A
PRECEDENT AND CHANGE THEIR BILL
IT WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE THEIR
PROGRAM. WELL AND ME AS I'VE
STATED THERE REALLY. IS NOT I
MEAN THERE IS NO THERE IS NO
HOMELESS ADVOCACY PROGRAM HAS
RAISE THIS AS A CONCERN THERE
HAS BEEN NO OPPOSITION STATED
THIS IT IT KEEPS IT THE SAME AS
LA COUNTIES PROGRAM THAT AGAIN
HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY
THIS LEGISLATURE- PREVIOUSLY SO
I DON'T SEE THE CONCERN THAT IS
BEING. THAT IS BEING REYES I
JUST I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT
AND AGAIN AT FIVE TAKE THAT
AMENDMENT LA COUNTY WOULD BE
OPPOSED TO THIS. TO THIS
PROGRAM BECAUSE IT. WOULD
CREATE. IT WOULD SET THAT IN IN
PLACE FOR THEM AS WELL AND
WE'RE JUST SAYING HEY WHAT'S
BEEN ALLOWED HERE LET'S ALLOWED
FOR YUBA AND SUTTER COUNTY AS
WELL WHO ARE WORKING. IN THESE
MD MD TEAS WHO WANT TO WORK IN
THESE ENTITIES AS WELL. IT IS
THE AS WAS NOTED AT THE
BEGINNING. WE ARE NOT DOING
DON'T DOUBLE REFERRALS HERE IN
THE ASSEMBLY AND THAT IS WHY

ALARMING RATE. THIS TREND IS
HIT AIR OF RESIDENTS PERIOD
HARD SINCE THEY'RE CLOSE
REQUIREMENTS ARE LESS
PROTECTIVE THAN THOSE FOR
RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES
PUTTING RESIDENTS AT GREATER
RISK FOR HOMELESSNESS. THIS
BILL WOULD ADDRESS THE
SITUATION BY EXPANDING THE
ERROR OF CLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
TO BE MORE SIMILAR TO THOSE FOR
RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES FOR
THE ELDERLY. AND GIVING
GOVERNMENT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TOOLS TO ENSURE THAT THESE
FACILITIES STAY OPEN. AIR IF
OPERATORS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
PROVIDE SIX MONTHS NOTICE TO
RESIDENTS PRIOR TO CLOSURE.
GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A
FACILITY WITHIN TWO MONTHS AT
FAIR MARKET VALUE. PROVIDE A
RELOCATION PLAN FOR ALL
RESIDENTS SUBMIT A CLOSURE PLAN
TO THE STATE. AND ALLOW LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS FLEXIBILITY IN
USING MENTAL HEALTH AND
HOMELESS PREVENTION FUNDS
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. BEFORE

IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS HER

TWENTY THREE SEVENTY SEVEN
ESTABLISHES SOME IMPORTANT
MANDATE THAT WILL MAKE LIFE
BETTER WHO RESIDENTS TO BOARD

PLANS TO CLOSE THERE'S VERY
LITTLE OF THIS REQUIREMENT
BEYOND THAT GIVEN TO THE PART
OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES. AN
EXAMPLE HOW HOW THAT CAN WORK
OUT WITH HOME BECAUSE IN
BERKELEY A FEW YEARS AGO.
RESIDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
HEARD RUMORS THAT THE STUDY WAS
PLAN TO CLOSE. THE FINALLY
CONFRONTED THE OPERATORS SAID
THAT WAS THE CASE. IN THIS CASE
THERE WAS NO REQUIREMENT- THAT
THEY SHE FIND A DATA FILE THE
POTENTIAL HOUSING OR MAKE ANY
KIND OF RELOCATION PLAN TO SHE
DIDN'T. WHAT THIS RESULTED IN
WAS A MAN FOR THE- AND FAMILIES
TRYING TO FIND OTHERHOUSING.
FOR THEMSELVES. AT THAT POINT
THERE WAS NO NOTICE REQUIREMENT
THAT WOULD GIVE THIS CITY OF

WHICH ALSO STRONGLY AND OF THIS
MEASURE WE SUPPORT THE MEASURE
BECAUSE THE TIME LIMIT CHANGES
THAT WERE DESCRIBED BY THE
AUTHOR. WE'RE BASED ON
INVALIDATED INVOLVED WITH
PENSIONS. THAT TIME LIMITS ARE
NEEDED TO BE AN INCENTIVE FOR
PEOPLE TO PUSH THEM. TO TAKE
THEIR JOURNEY FROM- RECEIVED AS
CAL WORKS WITHOUT THE PATIENT
SEE MORE SERIOUSLY. THE OTHER
ATTENTION THE CHANGES ARE BASED
ON A COULD SOMEHOW PEOPLE
LITTLE IN YOUR LIFE. THAT THEY
HAVE AN EPISODE. LEARN A
CIRCUMSTANCE THAT CAUSES THEM
TO NEED ASSISTANCE. AND THEN
WITH ONE EPISODE OF ARE
RELATIVELY BRIEF RECEIPT OF
FLEXIBLE SERVICES- AND FORTY
EIGHT MONTHS THAT THEY CAN

LIVES MANAGED TO AVOID-
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD CAUGHT
THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE. TO LIVE

UNEMPLOYED PERHAPS SECTORS OF
THE ECONOMY. THAT WILL BE- SORT
OF- DELIBERATED FOR YEARS. WHEN
A PERSON COMES INTO OUR OFFICE
IN MAY NEED THE FULL COMPLEMENT
OF FLEXIBLE SERVICES TO
RETRAIN- FOR DIFFERENT INDUSTRY
AND THEY BUTTE THEIR TWENTY
FOUR MONTHLY COLUMN SORRY WE

COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO DID NINE
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO GIVE
THEM THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF
SUPPORT SERVICES SO THAT THEY
CAN WHETHER ANOTHER RECESSION
THAT THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY NO
ABILITY TO CONTROL. THE OTHER
REASON- SUPPORT MANAGER IS THAT

COMPLICATED TIME CONSUMING
CUMBERSOME AND DIFFICULT TO
ADMINISTER THE RAND CORPORATION
THE MATH MATHEMATICA POLICY
RESEARCH IN THE DFS STAKEHOLDER
GROUP. THAT WAS REQUIRED IN

OF ADDRESSING THE THINGS THAT
WE CAN ADDRESS SO THAT THEY CAN
THEY CAN MOVE IN TO WORK. WE I
WOULD REQUIRED THE SENATE
MECCA. CAN I LOG YES YEAH CAN I
ASK YOU TO WIND UP YOUR- YOUR

OF EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
ALIGNING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL ENSURING FINALLY A
STREAMLINED GOVERNMENT
STRUCTURE FOR EARLY CHILD
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. WE ALL
KNOW THAT THE FIRST FIVE YEARS
OFLIFE FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT
FOR A CHILD'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT
AND PROVIDING QUALITY EARLY
EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
DURING THESE CRITICAL YEARS
ENHANCES A CHILD'S OPPORTUNITY
TO SUCCEED FURTHER IN COP IN
SCHOOL COLLEGE AND ULTIMATELY
THE WORK FORCE. OUR CURRENT
SYSTEM IS GOVERNED UNDER A
VARIETY OF STATE DEPARTMENTS
AND AGENCIES THIS BIFURCATED
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE OFTEN
FORCES. PARENTS AND PROVIDERS
SHOULD NEVER GET MULTIPLE
CONTRACTS AND ENGAGE WITH
MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS SOMETIMES
EVEN SEEING A DISRUPTION IN
SERVICES. A STRONG YOU SEE
SYSTEM JUST LIKE ANY OTHER
SEGMENT OF OUR EDUCATION CAN
ONLY EXIST. WITH A STRONG
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE WHICH
OPERATES TO GUARANTEE OUR EARLY
CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
ARE CHEATING EDUCATIONAL GOALS
AND PROMOTING EQUITY AS
INTENDED. SINCE THE START OF
THE COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC IT
HAS BECOME INCREDIBLY CLEAR HOW
IMPERATIVE EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION PROGRAMS ARE FOR MANY
OF CALIFORNIA'S FAMILIES
INCLUDING OUR CENTRAL WORKERS.
THE RELIANCE ON THESE PROGRAMS
AND THE RECENT NEED AND
SCRAMBLE TO STREAMLINE AN
ORGANIZED ACROSS DEPARTMENTS TO
PROVIDE EARLY CHILDHOOD
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN LIGHT
OF THE PANDEMIC. ONLY FOR THEIR
ILLUSTRATES THE NEED TO HAVE A
CENTRALIZED GOVERNING STRUCTURE.
MY OFFICE CONTINUES TO ENGAGE

ENSURE THAT AS THIS PROPOSAL
DEVELOPS AND STAKEHOLDERS
CONCERNS ARE MITIGATED IN
FUTURE AMENDMENTS THIS
DEPARTMENT TRULY SERVES THE
CHILDREN. FAMILIES AND
PROVIDERS AT ISN'T AS IT IS
INTENDED TO. THERE'S NO DOUBT
THAT HIGH QUALITY EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CAN BE THE
GREATEST EQUALIZER THE
CALIFORNIA CAN PROVIDE FOR
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN. AND THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
WILL ENSURE THAT WE PROVIDE
THESE SOCIO ECONOMICALLY AND
DEVELOPMENTALLY TRANSFORMATIVE
PROGRAMS IN AN EFFECTIVE AND

HEALTH COUNSELING THROUGH THE
SCHOOL SYSTEM TO OUR CHILDREN.
THOUGH THE PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
SPEAKS OF ALSO HELPING FAMILIES

OF FAMILIES IN THE BILL. WE BY
THIS TIME IT GETS TO THE
CHILDREN IT WILL BE SO WATERED
DOWN MONEY DRAINED OUT OF IT
THAT THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEMS
