Mid-Year Budget Requests

I’ve written an open letter to my colleagues and city management outlining several basic necessities that I believe should be addressed as we evaluate Sacramento’s mid-year budget.

That letter can be read here.

We will need your support to see this through. If you agree with what I’ve outlined in this letter, please take a moment and sign on to it.

These sites are certainly a tremendous step in the right direction, but we are looking for other sites as well to accommodate the significant demand for these kinds of services.
