Some police funding restored, library cuts remain in mayor’s final budget

from San Diego News Now · host KPBS Public Media

Fewer cuts to the police department, but those to library hours remain in San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria’s final budget proposal. And, speaking of budget cuts, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s also proposing some belt-tightening — this time, ending Medi-Cal coverage for undocumented people. Advocates say asylum-seekers are not being given due process at the border, including a disabled Mongolian man who’s been in custody more than two months. Voice of San Diego’s Scott Lewis is back on the podcast breaking down the latest legal fight in the La Jolla succession effort. Then, hear about what’s new at this year’s Fringe Festival. Finally, children in the foster care system and their families can visit one Balboa Park museum for free for the next three weeks.
