Parkway Action Alert: Attend BOS Meeting 4/13

MARCH 9TH QUALITY OF LIFE BUDGET WORKSHOP
Thanks to all of you who attended the March 9th Board of Supervisor's Budget Workshop on Quality of Life funding categories, which included the American River Parkway, Gibson Ranch, 4-H, Therapeutic Services, Animal Care & Regulation, Master Gardeners, etc.  Huge cuts are being proposed, as much as 85% in the case of the Parkway.  Our turnout was excellent and made an unforgettable impression on the Board of Supervisors as well as the County Executive.  However, Sacramento County still has a huge funding shortfall.

PUBLIC  SAFETY  IS  QUALITY  OF  LIFE ,
QUALITY  OF  LIFE  IS  PUBLIC  SAFETY !

Please attend the Board of Supervisors Budget Workshop at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April l3th.  The hearing will take place in the County Administration Building at 700 H Street in the Board of Supervisor’s Chambers.  The Supervisors will consider public safety budget items.  Funding for the parks and park rangers is imperative. Unsafe parks and open space will quickly become a law enforcement nightmare.

In addition, your presence will continue to remind the Supervisors that the Quality of Life programs are essential to the health, safety and welfare of our Community. The success of each and every program depends on everyone being there to do their job!

Your continued participation is making a difference!  Call us at (916) 383-1298 or go to http://www.sarariverwatch.org for the latest updates.  At the very least, call your Supervisor and make you position known.
