Assemblyman Rudy Salas says funding for local public safety projects in state budget

“Today we saw wins for the Central Valley, including resources to combat the drought, increased public safety funding, more equitable home to school transportation funding, and restoration to developmental services and regional centers,” said Salas.

Salas and local officials, have worked hard on public safety projects for the Valley and Kings County. The budget, passed by the senate and assembly, includes $7.85 million for public safety infrastructure, which could translate to improved safety services for Kings County.

 “This budget is balanced and makes investments to improve the lives of Californians,” said Salas. “We are building reserves and paying down debts, increasing funding for education, providing money for those suffering from drought, and providing resources to keep our communities safe.”
