Sacramento, Calif. – Hearings for the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Budget concluded with the Sacramento Board of Supervisors approving the Adopted Budget document outlining the nearly $4B budget, including $2.4B in General Fund, to fund County operations.

In addition to Child Protective Services, Public Health and mental health services, additional funding has been applied to:
