County Sues Governor Over First 5 Fund Raid

May 20, 2011 (San Diego, Calif.)  —The County of San Diego took legal action yesterday to stop the State from taking $1 billion from early childhood programs to fill California's budget gap. The lawsuit seeks to overturn AB 99, a bill signed by the governor on March 24, 2011, claiming that it is illegal because it redirects funds in a way that is not consistent with Proposition 10’s mandate as approved by the voters.
