Budget concerns rise as Mendocino County passes 17 million
Mendocino County taxpayers voice dismay at a preliminary 1971 72 budget exceeding 17 million dollars. They note welfare and other costs have grown despite a fixed statewide context. Supervisors will trim but expect a higher overall budget than the previous 14.5 million. Tax base shifts due to property reassessment and Williamson Act preserves may blunt tax rate effects. Statewide, counties show budgets nearly doubling over six years, with health and welfare driving much of the growth and retirement and health programs rising. Local officials are urged to cut unnecessary spending where possible.

He cites Nixon’s proposed funds for rehabilitation and substitutes, plus education and research, and stresses international cooperation to cut supply, while noting Vietnam era drug use among troops and the need to replace morphine medically. He calls for ending poppy production as the core solution.
