The California State Assembly, in a rare effort to amend a social program slated for deep cuts, passed a bill on Friday aimed at bolstering Healthy Families. With some bipartisan support, and with an expected signature from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, nearly 700,000 children will be saved from being cut from the program that provides government subsidized medical coverage to children from low-income homes. Legislative efforts on behalf of the state\u2019s social welfare safety net have been all too rare, however, as massive cuts across the board have been the norm in response to the budget crisis. A new alliance called Californians for Accountable Leadership has formed in an effort to impeach Governor Schwarzenegger stating that his leadership has constituted a \u201cgross misconduct in office.\u201d The coalition of community organizations, social service agencies and labor unions will be presenting their demands this Thursday to Assembly Speaker Karen Bass and Senator pro Tem Darrell Steinberg. According to the alliance, Governor Schwarzenegger should be subjected to an impeachment trial for line-item veto abuse, negligence in the face of the budget crisis and putting the lives of Californians at risk by making deep cuts in necessary social services. <\/p>\n
