The Governors budget will be announced that day (sometimes theyre sneaky
and do it sooner.) Its anticipated that with increased revenue, we wont
have to be as much on the defensive as in the past about state programs
that help the poor, seniors and disabled. This could be the year we ask for
Reinvestment in California Families and restoration of some of the things
lost over the years, including dental care for Medi-Cal recipients such as
the 750,000 seniors and people with disabilities struggling on SSI in
Southern California. More information 213 385 8010 or see contact info
above. ****

*2. Hunger Action LA Meeting Friday Jan. 18* ****
Normally we meet on the 4th Friday but this year there will be a couple of
exceptions. One of them will be the first meeting of the year. Were having
it early so we can discuss among other things the upcoming candidates
forums for the Mayors race in Los Angeles. How can we ensure that hunger,
poverty and food justice are issues that will be considered? What ideas do
our candidates actually have concerning hunger?****
