Among those waiting to testify at this mornings public hearing on Health & Welfare programs are several people in wheelchairs, who are among an overflow crowd in the Capitol Auditorium. Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert, just opened the hearing. "We're grateful and inspired that you're here to participate in this process," he told the crowd. "Obviously we face some very difficult and painful decisions." He said, "Our goal today is to hear from as many of you as possible."
