The state budget situation is also having an effect on programs for our senior citizen populations.   Prior to the failure of the recent propositions at the polls, funding for both the Golden Age Center and the Roderick Center in Hayfork were cut by 10%.   Now those programs are likely to be cut again to make up the state budget deficit.    As the largest percentage of our population base in Trinity County, and many times one of the most vulnerable, I am committed to insuring that our level of service to seniors remains strong and effective.   Finding new funding sources and working towards innovation of we utilize the funding that remains will both be needed to continue to provide these needed services.
