Sanctuary order targets small grant pot not billions says DOJ
Acting Assistant Attorney General Chad Readler told a San Francisco federal court that the sanctuary city funding cut would hit less than 1 million dollars for Santa Clara County and possibly nothing for San Francisco. He argued the order applies only to certain DOJ and Homeland Security grants tied to immigration status sharing, while plaintiffs claim far more federal funds are at stake. The judge pressed for clarity as San Francisco and Santa Clara seek an injunction blocking any cuts.

MACS Budget Plans No Tax Increase Boosts State Aid
The Mexico Area Central School district outlines a budget with no tax increase and a significant rise in state aid. A PILOT with Exelon last year is non transferrable, and a new PILOT could avert full taxation of the plant. Bruno urges partnership with Scriba, the county, and Exelon to keep the payment plan fair for communities and schools. A public budget hearing is May 9 at Mexico Middle School Auditorium, with a May 16 budget vote from 12 pm to 9 pm at New Haven, Palermo, and Mexico Elementary polling sites.
