County Weighs Cuts in Jobs and Services
Anticipating the loss of $11 million in state money, the county’s $364-million budget proposal calls for cutting 71 jobs and reducing services.
The spending plan being considered by the Board of Supervisors would mean fewer sheriff’s deputies and probation officers, cuts in library hours and elimination of several programs for the mentally ill. One fully staffed fire station would be cut back to part-time.
Those proposals could change, however, if Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s revised budget restores some funding.
And it would still need approval by the state Legislature.
