Meeting ends on a down note
Councilman Sam Spagnolo's legislative update tonight was gloomy.
Sacramento seems poised to balance the budget on cities' backs. Rancho Cucamonga stands to lose more than $40 million should state lawmakers decide to take from redevelopment, Prop. 1A and gas tax.
"These are obviously big numbers," said City Manager Jack Lam. "Any one of those three areas would have been stunning enough. For the state to look at taking all three ... these numbers are so staggering, we're going to look at service cuts -- tremendous service cuts."
