Don’t tell us our governor doesn’t care. He just signed into law a new requirement to insure the humane treatment of chickens whose eggs are sold in California. <\/p>\n
Very nice! I’m sure the thousands of homecare recipients who the governor wants to force into nursing homes or onto the street will appreciate (and perhaps be a little jealous) of his treatment of our feathered friends.<\/p>\n
Here’s how SEIU-ULTCW portrayed it:<\/p>\n
Governor Schwarzenegger just took an impressive step toward reforming In-Home Care.
\n
For chickens, that is.<\/p>\nThe California governor Tuesday signed a bill into law requiring that all eggs sold in California come from hens that aren’t crammed into small cages.<\/p>\n
It was quite a compassionate move.<\/p>\n
We only wish the governor’s compassion would extend to the hundreds of thousands of Californians who depend on the state’s actual In-Home Care program for their lives and livelihoods. Governor Schwarzenegger still wants to slash half the funding for IHSS — the program that provides lifeline services to California’s seniors and disabled citizens and provides care givers with meaningful employment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
