		<description><![CDATA[Editorial; Marin Independent Journal, July 11, 2010
THE RECENT annual report on in-home care in Marin is just one more reminder that Marin residents&#8217; need for such support and services is growing. In 2007, the Marin County Civil Grand Jury warned that a &#8220;silver tsunami&#8221; was headed toward Marin and that by 2030, one of every [...]]]></description>

Looks like desperation is beginning to set in over at Team Whitman headquarters. Monday in Roseville, Meg Whitman told a small audience that she would appoint a grand jury to root out the more than $7.5 billion in fraud she claims occurs annually in programs for the poor, seniors and people with disabilities.

With less than a week until Governor Schwarzenegger unveils his revised May budget, there’s little hope that California’s struggling economy will see any reprieve from the threat of draconian cuts to vital services and unnecessary and wasteful corporate giveaways. This much has already been forecasted in the Governor and fellow Republicans’ incessant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Editorial by California State Assembly Member, Pedro Nava
Published in Huffington Post
Governor Arnold Schwarnenneger&#8217;s proposed budget can be fairly described as a &#8220;cuts only&#8221; budget and a job killer. California cannot afford this. According to a UC Berkeley study published in March of this year, a $1 billion cut to the state&#8217;s In Home Supportive Services [...]]]></description>

Steve Mehlman
Ever since he took office, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared war on one of the most humane, cost-effective programs in state government–the nationally recognized In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) homecare program.More than 450,000 low-income elderly, blind and disabled Californians receive care through IHSS, which allows them to stay in [...]]]></description>

Editorial. By Jim Miller, March 25.

But you failed to explain why:
