Following through on a threat to cut $55 million for a program serving California's homeless mentally ill, Gov. Arnold Schwarznegger said cities and counties could step in to fill the gap. Mental health advocates have complained that the same line-item decisions that cut the program known as Integrated Services from a $145.5 billion budget supported $45 million in tax advantages for the owners of yachts and planes. Since 1999, the program has been credited with reduced costs for hospitalization, incarceration, and homeless services for 4,500 people.
