The Governor also charges that she kept program funds in a family-owned bank and makes support of her family and party an implicit condition for MKRADC assistance. Nunn denies he wants to replace Mrs. Howell with a Republican. "I don't care who they get to run the program," he says, "as long as he's competent and the poverty money goes where...
