Youth Service Bureau Faces Levy Fight and Funding Cuts
Election 75 funding drops to two thirds with a $25,000 grant, four months of operation, while state local sources and special projects like a youth alcoholism study fill gaps. YSB aims to reduce juvenile court referrals by treating pre-delinquents and runaways at home, citing a 59 percent drop in truancies since opening.
