San Diego Board of Supervisors to Cut Services While Continuing to Spend On Pet Projects

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors have long come under fire for their hardlined approach of outsourcing public services, not doing enough to increase access to vital services like food stamps to needy families, and making few concessions at the bargaining table.
 
Now the Board will consider its first round of layoffs, which threaten vital service like protection of our elderly from domestic abuse. Although the Supervisors consider themselves fiscally reponsible, they continue to spend millions of dollars on frivolous expenditures like "doggie parades" and expensive business trips.
 
Members of SEIU Local 221, along with concerned members of the community, are coming together to propose a humane and responsible alternative to this painful loss of services.
 
Come and support this proposal and tell the Board of Supervisors that service preservation is needed now more than ever!
 
When:      Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.

Where:     San Diego County Administration Building - Room 301
                 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101

"The People's Bailout" March & Rally

The State of California is facing a $42 Billion Budget Deficit, threatening the prosperity upon which our Golden State was built.
Governor Schwarzenegger is proposing painful cuts to vital programs that will hurt the neediest Californians, including slashing of services for our aging population, the working poor, people with developmental disabilities, low and moderate income families, and children.
 
All the while, the Bush Administration and Congress wrote blank checks to banks that have since been used to reward corporate executives with $18 Billion in bonuses.
 
It's time for the people's bailout! Come and speak out against the Governor's proposed cuts and call upon the Obama Administration to provide desperately needed federal stimulus as an alternative to the Governor's proposal.
 
When:        Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 5:30 p.m.

Where:       Horton Plaza
                    324 Horton Plaza, San Diego, CA
