Health Care Cuts Raised at Maldonado’s Confirmation
Sen. Abel Maldonado (R-Santa Maria) cleared the first hurdle in the Legislature to be confirmed as lieutenant governor after John Garamendi resigned from the position to take a seat in Congress. At a hearing of the Senate Rules Committee yesterday, Maldonado was asked about proposed cuts to health and human services programs.
