We want to make sure that our community is counted in this year’s Census because it affects how much federal funding our city receives. It could make the difference between getting or losing a school, health clinic, senior center or job-placement center.
California is facing a $20 billion budget shortfall. Our tax and budgeting system is over 30 years old and hasn’t kept up with changing economic and political conditions.
