“Legislation of vital importance
in the everyday lives of every
citizen of California has come before the present session, and will
continue to come until adjournment on June 49,” Lunardi said.
“This includes not only_the bills
«that are extremely important to
the local districts, but measures
that affect -the future of the 38
tire state, such as bills conce
ing the economy, new taxes, our
long-hoped-for solution _of the
water problem, and others.”
All of these, Lunardi said, are
keyed to the higher than ever
‘budget proposed for the 1959-60
fiscal year, which is now before
the Legislature.
“But they are keyed, as well,
to the pocketbooks of all of our
citizens,” Lunardiwent on. “We
cannot, for example, ask for more
State services on the one hand,
and insist upon less state spending and influence on the other.
We must be practical.
It is essential, perhaps more
than ever before, that our citizens express their views so that
their elected representatives in
the Assembly and the Senate
will have a clear course to pursue.
Government is responsive to the
people and their action will not
be futile.” :
Among ways suggested for
greater citizen participation
were through organization activities at the local level; the writing of letters to newspapers, state
officials and departments, and
legislators, and visits to the Capitol when possible.
Assemblyman Paul J.. Lunardi ' On Sale
of Roseville declared in SacraAU ok

proved by the voters of Califor3 to 1.
Among the advantages of the
.program to eligible veterans are
two low-cost group home protection life and disability insurance
features.
The first assures the veteran’s
dependents of clear and free title
to their property if he dies before
the contract is paid off, The
second pays monthly installments
on the property if the Veteran
becomes totally disabled by sickness or injury for over three
months. ae
A veterans knows before he acquires a farm or home that it has
been realiably inspected and approved by the department’s own
property appraisers, and its value
established. And if his property
is sold by condemnation proceedings or in lieu of condemnation,
oer is completely destroyed by fire
or flood, it is possible for him to
obtain a second purchase loan.
It is apparent why the default
rate is negligible, and why more
than 500,000 California veterans
have established their eligibility
for Cal-Vet benefits, including
the right to a loan.
