"We publicly have supported President Carter's recently released program for complete overhaul of the public assistance system in our country, by we object to its expected lag in providing 'V AN Funeral Notices "We also shall continue our efforts to press the governor and state legislature for reform at the state level," McNeary said. The board chairman emphasised, "If something isn't done soon, you're going to find many counties in a state of bankruptcy."
