ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author presents the major examples of the aspect of the process of establishing turf rights. she briefly looks at the historical background of alcohol programming as seen from the perspective of California, in order to understand better the placement of associations. As to the consequences of the commission's political neutralization, Reynolds clearly establishes the line from its lack of status, power, and resources to its demise in 1957, when the Legislature failed to appropriate the necessary funds and transferred responsibility for this problem to the California State Department of Public Health. From the county administrators’ perspective, the bulk of their struggle has been to get the state to implement the philosophy of county-state partnership and county-run programs. Respondents referred to “lip-service” from the state, unsupported by action.
