Show me the money When the governor announced his budget for the next biennium, the harsh reality that we just don t have enough money hit home with a lot of groups that have been left with huge cuts. This gives us a glimpse of what the government thinks is important and what they think can be cut. For instance, domestic violence and gang prevention funds have been cut significantly, so we must assume that they are not a priority.
Senior citizens are disposable too.
County Chair Bev Stein and Commissioner Lisa Naito attended and listened to what the community had to say. We will lose domestic violence dollars when we are really starting to make progress in the Asian community. It is something that we don t talk about, and in many cases, have allowed to continue. Yet, women are coming forward. It takes courage to do this, but now we won t have money to care for the women and children that are victims of the horrors of domestic violence.
