VO: (:25)
DISABLED VETERANS AND THEIR ADVOCACY GROUPS CRITICIZED
GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER'S LATEST PROPOSED BUDGET CUTS, INCLUDING REDUCTIONS FOR IN-HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. DISABLED VETERANS ARE AMONG THOSE WHO BENEFIT FROM I-H-S-S PROGRAMS. ADVOCATES SAY THE PROGRAM SAVES TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR PER VETERAN, BECAUSE WITHOUT IN-HOME CARE, THEY'D BE PLACED IN MORE COSTLY NURSING HOMES.
SUPER: HERB MEYER/KOREAN WAR VETERAN
SOT: (:19)
SAYS: "I THINK IT'S TIME NOW FOR THE REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE SIGNED STATEMENTS THAT SAY NO MORE TAXES, THEY'VE GOT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT. THEY'VE GOT TO BE REASONABLE AND THINK WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR STATE, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE STATE OF AFFAIRS. HOW CAN YOU TREAT, I'M A KOREAN WAR VETERAN, FELLOW VETERANS. HOW CAN YOU TREAT US THIS WAY?"
SUPER: KAREN BASS/ASSEMBLY SPEAKER
SOT: (:10)
SAYS: "I THINK IT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT VETERANS HAVE TO HAVE A PROTEST ON A DAY THAT THEY SHOULD BE HONORED AND CELEBRATED FOR THEIR SERVICE AND INSTEAD THEY HAVE TO PROTEST SO THAT THEY CAN ESSENTIALLY FUNCTION.".
VO TAG:
SCHWARZENEGGER SPOKESWOMAN CAMILLE ANDERSON SAYS THE GOVERNOR UNDERSTANDS CUTS WILL BE DIFFICULT AND THAT THOSE WHO NEED STATE SUPPORT THE MOST WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE IT.
