Congratulations Arnold!!! After losing about $10 billion of lost lawsuits for violating the legal rights of government programs, you finally won one.
"A state appeals court in San Francisco today upheld Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2007 line-item veto of $54 million in funding for mental health services for homeless adults.
The Homeless Adults Program, begun in 1999, gave grants to counties to provide mental health services and outreach to mentally ill adults who were homeless or at risk of being homeless.
Before the 2007 veto, it had grown to serve 4,500 homeless or imprisoned adults in 34 counties.
Schwarzenegger used his line-item veto to eliminate $54 million in funding for the program in 2007. The governor said he supported the program's goals, but said the cut was needed for budget reasons and the services could be restructured using county or federal funds."
Question: since the program was cut in 2007--three years ago--have you noticed? Guess this was another wasteful program meant to provide employment to special interests, not help the public.
