When I became CSAC President last year, I wanted to emphasize the
important role that prevention and early intervention can play in
improving outcomes in the work that we do. As a Contra Costa
County Supervisor for nearly 16 years, I understand how County
services can dramatically improve the lives of Californians. What
I’ve enjoyed most about being a Supervisor is that I’m able to
make a real difference in improving the quality of life in the
community that I serve.
Dear CSAC Members and County Colleagues all over California,
Please let me take a few minutes of your time and attention to
wish you and yours a very happy and fulfilling holiday season.
Whatever your traditions may be and however you celebrate, this
is a time of year to be thankful, to reflect on the past, and to
ponder where we are going in the coming year.
In a recent KQED radio debate, I explained the merits of Governor
Brown’s proposal to cut redevelopment and shift revenues to
education, public safety, and healthcare.
