Budget Crisis…Let’s Hear What You Would Do

Nevada County facing fiscal challenges

We have been hearing about the Federal level trying to find a way to bailout our homeowners. There is a California State budget mess, bringing deep concern to every county in the state. Our local Nevada Joint Union High Schools are facing deep cuts, and major fiscal challenges.

We are a community that was asked to give ideas at last night’s meeting for the schools. Not everyone could make it to the meeting, so if you have ideas for the local level, we would like to hear from you.

We need your ideas, tell us what you think

Post your comments here, on helping the schools that are facing cutbacks in state and federal funding. Our county needs as many useful ideas as possible, so let’s come together and help them out. Comments with ideas on the crisis at any level of government are what can make things change, for the better…show us what you are made of Nevada County!
