Pasadena fears of more Public Health cuts

| | Comments (0) |

Janette Williams wrote a short article on the city's fears of what a state plan to take money from cities to help balance the budget could do to the city's Public Health Department:

[Mayor Bill] Bogaard said the state's budget crisis will require "sacrifice from everyone." But further cutbacks to Pasadena's public health department funding, already facing a state-mandated 10-percent cut in services this fiscal year, are of particular concern, he said.

So, basically, Pasadena already scheduled a 10 percent cut in funding because of state cutbacks and it is afraid it could lose more money.... my question though, is what does this mean for the Public Health Department? What services have they already had to cut, and what might they have to do to make ends meet if they lost more funding?
