Panel Will Lobby Against Service Cuts
Santa Paula officials have created a committee aimed at lobbying officials against making cuts in county services to Santa Paula residents.
In addition, the Santa Paula City Council has agreed to send letters inviting mayors and supervisors throughout Ventura County to participate in the committee.
The committee, which is expected to include residents and elected officials, will review the county’s proposed budget cuts for 1995-96 and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
Supervisors are reviewing the county’s budget, which is expected to be approved by August.
“We are anticipating a lot of cutbacks and we need to let county officials know what services are crucial to each city,” Councilwoman Laura Espinosa said. “The goal is to make clear to the county what our needs are.”
Espinosa said she hopes that other cities will join Santa Paula’s effort.
