County eyes rising budgets as departments outpace population

Mental Health budgets surged 888 percent in a decade from 547 228 to 4 861 633, with salaries up about 1 000 percent. Other departments, including Sheriff-Coroner and Planning, show large increases while population rose about 1 percent annually.

Regional board opposes Tri Counties plan hearing in Santa Barbara
Ventura County Board of Supervisors rejects a proposal by the State Office of Planning and Research to form a Tri-Counties Regional Government. Supervisor Kallman will have Clifford Petrie represent the board at a Thursday public hearing in Santa Barbara. The panel cites SCRAG as an unsuccessful model. In Lompoc, a charity bridge game at Alpha Club raises funds for the Arthritis Foundation with $2.25 entry and can use a partner via Alex Turner.
