Final Sacramento County Budget Spares Health Clinics

Three Sacramento County health clinics slated to close under a draft county budget were saved under the final $2.1 billion budget approved Wednesday by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. The additional revenue needed to spare the clinics came from delaying some computer purchases, lower-than-expected employee health premiums and reallocating funds.
